In that capacity, he also worked part-time as a cashier for Chicken Empire, a local fried chicken restaurant in Chicago, owned by his former co-worker Nasser Fawaz.

Ghazaly didn't get involved in politics until late 2024 where he volunteered to work for Mehmed Farhan, in which few months later, he became part of the campaign team for the 2025 Palos Hills' mayoral election. He then started working as a host for Lampas Media's political documentaries on both Youtube and Tiktok right after receiving his masters degree in South Korea and returning to the United States in late 2027. Initially, he was assigned as the assistant staff for the content production team, but would later be promoted to host the documentary shows himself three years later. This was also the time where he started to involve more in politics, particularly by campaigning, and giving donations to independents and Justice Party politicians.
