In this episode of A2 THE SHOW, we sit down with Don Rob — writer, interviewer, and documentary creator with a decade of experience in leadership, business, and creative ventures. From helping build a multimillion-dollar startup to guiding global teams and managing top YouTube creators, Don has mastered the art of clarity and direction. Together, we dive into Lebanon’s relationship-driven culture, the balance of humor and sensitivity across societies, and the transformative power of forgiveness, gratitude, and self-awareness. We also unpack how masculinity, emotional expression, and cultural challenges shape both personal growth and community.🟡INSTAGRAM:https://www.instagram.com/donrobshow/🟥YOUTUBE: @DonRobShow 👉Please visit our website to get more information: https://a2theshow.com/a2-the-show/⏰Timestamps:00:00 – Introduction06:19 – Convenience vs. Urgency12:34 – Lebanon’s Content Culture18:25 – Business & Relationships25:11 – Humor Across Cultures30:44 – Bride Price Today36:06 – Online Hate vs. Feedback41:30 – Power of Forgiveness46:36 – Gratitude & Creativity51:40 – Teaching Through Questions57:37 – Self-Awareness in Relationships1:03:13 – Growth Through Lebanon’s Challenges1:08:07 – Microaggressions & Expression1:13:35 – Mindful Emotional Expression1:18:32 – Redefining Masculinity🔔Get on an unforgettable adventure with 'A2 The Show'!
