  • 16. Fred Helou | Think Like A Boss

    Imagine moving to a foreign country alone, as a teenager with no career lined up . Scary, right?

    Well then wait ’til you hear the story of this week’s podcast guest. Fred Helou is an immigrant entrepreneur who left Lebanon during a civil war, was pickpocketed for every dollar he had on his way to America, eventually got laid off from the career he managed to create, but then turned adversity into opportunity by starting a company now valued at $1 billion.

    And the name of that company? You guessed it, Vagaro. This story is one that distinctly defines making the best out of what you have. Join host Taylor Burke as she gets Fred to discuss everything from hiding from wartime gunfire as a kid, learning valuable lessons from his father’s businesses, and what he plans for Vagaro’s future.
