Bashar's life began in Iraq amidst the chaos of war. In the pursuit of safety, his father sacrificed everything. The family eventually relocated to America, where Bashar received a life-changing offer: $200,000 to chase his dreams.
Choosing entrepreneurship, Bashar opened a restaurant inspired by a reality TV show, only to realize he had no idea how to run a business. Unfortunately, the restaurant's downfall came swiftly when it burned down without having insurance, but what stung even more was the feeling of letting down his father once again.
Determined to make amends, he took on various jobs from dishwashing to Uber driving. And discovered YouTube and making money online. Swallowing his pride, he enrolled in a course, and discovered the profound impact he could have. Today, he heads BJK University, an organization with a mission to impact 1 million lives by empowering families with skills they can turn into income, all while rekindling the pride in his father's eyes.
