Handling Rejection, Dreaming Bigger, Music in Saudi & The Ugly Side of Social Media | Asmaa Naga 117
Asmaa is a tech entrepreneur and the founder of 'STUCK?'. A language support platform that blends AI with Human intelligence to provide content and translation services to businesses and individuals. Seventeen years ago, she moved from Egypt to Saudi Arabia, where she started as an English teacher while working on her music, quickly falling in love with the country’s pace of life. Two and a half years ago, after Covid hit, she was inspired to do more and built a language service platform, 'STUCK?', which is the official language arm for the Mo Show, providing captions and translation work. Asmaa shares invaluable advice with entrepreneurs: Don’t wait for the perfect conditions to start a business, cultivate grit, and allow yourself to grieve setbacks. Asmaa is living proof of the Saudi dream, exemplifying how to immigrate, integrate, and innovate within the country.
