What helped Sami succeed and how did he face challenges, from social pressure to the lack of financing?

Sami reveals his journey from a high school kid playing with a blog to the founder of a global platform, For9a.com, and two other successful initiatives, FADFED, and Leaders of Tomorrow.
How did he start? Sami wanted that that all people, especially youth, had equal access to education opportunities. He describes the joy of ten new likes on the Facebook page or 50 visitors on the portal. Today, more than a million of people like the Facebook page of For9a.com and about 10,000 visitors each day.

Did he have the vision of such a big platform?

No, he didn’t. Sami says that when you start something, you don’t know where it is going. It may go better than expected, it may not work. “You just need to continue what you’re doing,” he highlights.

"You need to establish a company that is really serving to people, make it sustainable, and not forget about the social cause," is an advice that Sami highlights.
