In 2012 the Hadhad’s home and factory that housed the family chocolate-making business were destroyed which forced them to seek safety in other countries. A former medical student at Damascus University and long-time peacekeeping advocate, Tareq joined medical relief efforts after arriving in Lebanon. A new life began when Tareq and his family were welcomed to Canada on a community-based sponsorship.

Passionate about peace and entrepreneurship, his family relaunched the family business to recreate the chocolates they once exported across the Middle East and their story has turned into an international inspiring phenomenon.

In this episode, Dr. Jody and Taraq Hadhad discuss his incredible story of immigration from war-torn Syria and what he has learned from entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship isn't seeking success, it is seeking significance, passion and happiness.
