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.

They explore what it means to build relationships in business, how to balance speed with judgment, and why trust can be both your greatest strength and your biggest risk. Valérie also opens up about moments that tested her approach and why she chose not to let them change the way she operates.

This is a conversation about ambition, discipline, and learning how to move forward without losing yourself in the process.

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.Ralph shares the reality of that transition, from the silence that replaces constant emails and meetings to the pressure of generating your own opportunities and income. He opens up about the mindset required to move forward, the role AI now plays in modern sales, and how learning to hear “no” becomes one of the most valuable skills you can develop.

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.The conversation also touches on purpose, motherhood, impact, and Mona’s growing focus on AI ethics and on the responsibility to shape technology to serve humanity.

This episode is a reminder that success is rarely linear. Sometimes the most courageous move is not pushing forward at all costs, but having the wisdom to change direction while staying true to your larger vision.

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.

André also explains the initiative he launched to bring together small groups of Lebanese business owners for mastermind sessions designed to help them rethink strategies, support one another, and find opportunities even amid uncertainty.

Thirty years after sharing a stage together, Tina Jarrous joins me for a very different kind of conversation.

After a 25-year career in television, Tina made a life-changing decision. She left the spotlight, moved countries at 45, navigated separation from her children geographically, and rebuilt her life from the ground up.

In this episode, we explore what it means to recycle yourself when a chapter ends unexpectedly. We talk about identity beyond titles, transitioning from public presence to private impact, and the resilience required to start again when you thought you were already established.

Tina shares her journey from media into executive and trauma coaching, the intimacy of one-on-one work, and why self-trust is the most powerful asset you can build. We also touch on the evolving world of coaching, AI, and what remains irreplaceable about human connection.

This conversation is about nonlinear lives, endings that become beginnings, and learning to believe in yourself one percent more.
