Mental Health, Open Source & Global Community — Bashar (KuwaitNet) at EO Ignite Durban

This charged, no-pretence conversation with Bashar (KuwaitNet) maps a podcast built where tech meets mental health—and why founders in the region need to talk openly about both. He shares how therapy stigma shows up in business, why he’s turning his company’s lightning-talk rituals into a repeatable show format, and how an open-source mindset (think Kuwait’s Linux/Ubuntu community) fuels real knowledge-sharing. Along the way, Bashar taps EO’s global reach—bridge chapters, RLA, and university events—to take ideas from a small market to a worldwide audience. He also opens up about a defining chapter—“the president who almost quit EO”—and the power of asking for help, then paying it forward. If you’re a founder, operator, or IT leader, you’ll leave with practical ways to create authentic content, nurture your team, and build momentum that lasts.
