Episode Description
Too often, conversations about leadership, innovation, and entrepreneurship get reduced to surface-level soundbites — quick wins, growth hacks, and feel-good inspiration. But what happens when we step back and ask harder questions about the systems we’re building, the stories we’re living, and the future we’re shaping together?
In this episode of Mission Driven You, I sit down with Hussein Hallak — entrepreneur, community builder, and sharp critic of shallow narratives. Hussein challenges us to look past the algorithm, to reject the traps of short-term thinking, and to pursue innovation that aligns with integrity and humanity.
We talk about what it means to build with courage, how to recognize when our definitions of success are keeping us stuck, and why authentic connection is the real foundation for meaningful change.
If you’re ready to think differently about leadership and the future we’re shaping, this conversation is for you.
