Immigrant Entrepreneur: Abdulhamid Ali
Growing up in Somalia, Abdulhamid had a great childhood, but after the Somalian's pressident got assasinated he had to grow up very quickly. His father went to prison several times and his mom was left with 6 kids to care for. It turns out that his mom became extremely entrepreneurial and made the best out of what they had.
If you wanted to go to college in Somalia, the goverment told you want you were going to study and you had no other choice. The decision that the goverment made for me, was nothing that he wanted to study so Abdulhamid decided to pursue engineering instead.
There was no other choice but to get out of the country to study his passions in civil engineering.
In this episode he shares his journey from the very beginning, his struggles and reveals why he decided to leave the public sector. So.. stay tuned!
