Three days in Aqaba, a blur of workshops, and then… it was over. That quiet moment of “wow, that really happened.” It wasn’t just another training; it was a jolt of pure energy.
We dove into the messy, exciting world of building ideas, tackling the startup journey, and learning to truly understand the people we’re trying to serve. It was intense.
But the real magic wasn’t in the curriculum. It was in the moments between. The shared meals, the late-night chats, the laughter that filled the room. Aqaba, with its sun-drenched beauty, provided the perfect backdrop for this whirlwind of learning.
What truly resonated was the people. Their diverse backgrounds, their willingness to share, their genuine curiosity – they brought everything to life. I saw lightbulb moments, shifts in perspective, and a quiet determination that was truly inspiring.
It’s easy to say “I’m blessed,” but in this case, it feels utterly true. I’m blessed to have met these individuals, to have shared this experience with them. To have witnessed their passion and their potential.
These three days in Aqaba weren’t just about entrepreneurship. They were about connection, about shared humanity, and about the power of believing in something bigger than yourself.
Leaving Aqaba, I carried more than just memories. I carried a renewed sense of hope and a deep appreciation for the power of human connection. It was a beautiful, unexpected spark.
