About this episode

What does progress mean when you start life as a refugee?

In this heartfelt episode, Snapchat's MENA VP Hussein Freijeh opens up about building what his father and grandfather never had.

We talk about fatherhood, the pressure to succeed, why he nearly lost his job in Big Tech, and how he's now mentoring others to find the path he once had to figure out alone.

He also shares his vision for Snap as a platform that embraces simplicity, authenticity and creativity.
