Growing up in war-torn Iraq, where his affluent family faced constant threats—including kidnappings—Bashar immigrated to the United States in search of safety and opportunity. After his father entrusted him with $200,000 to start a restaurant, disaster struck in 2015 when a fire destroyed the business, plunging him into $150,000 in debt, depression, and even a DUI-related jail stint. Undeterred, he hustled through jobs like dishwashing and Uber driving while launching seven failed ventures before striking gold with his eighth: a seven-figure Amazon FBA business that at its peak generated over $1.5 million monthly. In 2019, he founded BJK University in Miami, Florida, to mentor aspiring entrepreneurs through comprehensive courses, live coaching, and tools focused on Amazon FBA success, private labeling, and building scalable online businesses. With a mission to create lasting impact and help others achieve financial and time freedom, Bashar has empowered thousands of students worldwide, drawing from his own journey of resilience and relentless growth.
