What does it really take to build a borderless workforce—and what does it cost the people chasing opportunity?

In this episode, we sit down with Tony Jamous, Founder of Oyster, and Hadi Moussa, Oyster’s new CEO, to explore how lived experience, leadership evolution, and global inequality shaped one of the most important HR platforms of our time.

Built during the chaos of COVID and now valued at $1.2B, Oyster isn’t just changing how companies hire—it’s challenging the idea that success must come at the cost of home, family, and identity.

In this conversation, you’ll learn:

• Why global hiring has been unnecessarily broken—and what it actually takes to fix it

• How childhood experiences of war, migration, and sacrifice shaped Oyster’s mission

• The hidden emotional and operational costs of scaling a “unicorn” the wrong way

• What Tony Jamous learned about fear-based leadership after his first billion-dollar exit

• How PTSD, burnout, and self-awareness quietly shape executive decision-making

• Why Oyster prioritized mission alignment over money when choosing investors

• What it really means to design a human-first company at global scale

• Why stepping aside as CEO can be an act of leadership—not failure

• How Oyster is working to reverse brain drain and reduce global wealth inequality

• What the future of work looks like when borders stop defining opportunity

This is a conversation about leadership, identity, and building companies that don’t just scale—but heal.

Perfect for founders, executives, operators, and anyone questioning the true cost of success in a global economy.
