Ahmed’s story is one that will remind you that your starting point does not have to define where you end up. From becoming the sole provider for his family at just 11 years old in Cairo, to selling tissue boxes at traffic lights, working construction jobs, and eventually building a career in software engineering, Ahmed’s journey is a powerful story of resilience, reinvention, and refusing to give up.
In this episode, Ahmed shares what it was like to grow up with the pressure of survival, the “lion” of poverty that continued to chase him even after he found success, and how he kept rebuilding himself through every challenge. We talk about leaving Egypt for Dubai, facing hundreds of rejections while searching for opportunities abroad, teaching himself English by simply talking to strangers, and starting over again in the U.S. without a traditional path into tech.
We talk about:
- Growing up at 11 years old as the sole provider for his family
- Selling tissue boxes at traffic lights and learning the foundations of sales
- Leaving Egypt and searching for a better life in Dubai
- Applying to hundreds of jobs and overcoming rejection
- Teaching himself English, software skills, and breaking into tech without a traditional background
- Why networking became his “real diploma”
- Building Wavehi, an app inspired by his own journey of finding connection
