Bassel Hamwi helped launch the Damascus Stock Exchange and discovered that true leadership begins when your ego disappears. In this powerful conversation, Bassel shares the mindset shift that transforms leaders from asking "Can I do this?" to declaring "I'm here, so I have to give back" - and why the future can always be better than the past.

In this episode, we discuss:

- When leadership becomes about responsibility, not recognition

- Why asking for help immediately is wisdom, not weakness

- Building systems of support through mentors, coaches, forums, and peer networks

- How "you are not alone" becomes the foundation for breakthrough leadership

- Finding hope and resilience when everything seems lost
