Tarek Abousamra lost everything in the war in Syria. He walked across borders, arrived in Berlin with nothing, and rebuilt his life from scratch. Today, he’s the founder of one of Germany’s fastest-growing startups — and this is his story.

In this powerful conversation, Tarek opens up about fleeing Syria, the journey across Europe, and the stigma of being labeled a refugee. We talk about love, loss, starting over, and the power of community.

Tarek also shares how he met his co-founder (now his wife), how they built Co-Tasker, and why he still believes in the goodness of people — even as anti-migrant sentiment grows in Germany.

If you're looking for an inspiring story about resilience, purpose, and building something meaningful from nothing, this episode is for you.
