Tony Feghali is joined by Valerie Zakka, industrial expert, consultant, and EQ assessor, for a conversation that moves between business, human behavior, and the realities of growth.

Valerie shares how she built her career in a highly technical, male-dominated industry while staying grounded in something many overlook: emotional intelligence. From managing complex projects and global partnerships to navigating trust, setbacks, and expansion into new markets, she offers a perspective shaped by both experience and instinct.

Tony Feghali is joined by Ralph Azar, sales trainer and founder of Startup Early, for an honest conversation about what happens when a long corporate career suddenly comes to an end, and you’re forced to start over.

After more than two decades in the corporate world, Ralph found himself facing a decision he didn’t plan for. Step back into another job or take full ownership of his path. What followed was a shift from structure and security to uncertainty, self-reliance, and building something from the ground up.

They explore the difference between training and real impact, why most companies only check boxes instead of building capability, and how adopting the right mindset can completely change the way teams perform.

Tony Feghali sits down with Dr. Mona Itani for an honest conversation about courage, reinvention, and what it really means to start over.

Mona shares her journey from telecom engineering into academia, entrepreneurship, and social innovation. Along the way, she reflects on the calculated risks that shaped her career, the challenge of stepping into junior roles again despite years of experience, and the emotional process of letting go of the social enterprise she built.

They discuss the deeper meaning of courage, not just taking risks, but having the clarity to make difficult decisions, the resilience to rebuild, and the humility to begin again when necessary.

Tony Feghali speaks with entrepreneur and business advisor André Abi Awad about leadership, resilience, and supporting business owners during uncertain times in Lebanon.

As the country faces another difficult period, André recently reached out to entrepreneurs across Lebanon to offer support and guidance. That message sparked this conversation.

André shares lessons from his own journey, including going bankrupt twice early in his career before rebuilding and going on to train and advise entrepreneurs in more than 50 countries. Those experiences shaped how he now helps others navigate crisis and uncertainty.

The conversation explores how business owners can regain clarity when fear and disruption take over, why speed of understanding and action matters during difficult moments, and how entrepreneurs can develop what André calls an anti-fragile mindset, emerging stronger from challenges rather than simply surviving them.
