"Our instincts can lie to us. " That's what Dr. Odeh Muhawesh said to me when I told him he comes across  as a person who instinctively trusts people from the first minutes of an interaction. Muhawesh, successful business leader, scholar and author has started sold multiple businesses and had countless partnerships in the past 30 years and is now an active chair of Squigl, a technology firm.  Muhawesh has been a professor and interfaith leader who is passionate about ridging the cultural gap of diverse communities in the US. 
After talking with him, I understood why he's a sought after speaker on issues around the Middle East, negotiating conflicts and our shared humanity.
