In this episode of The Courage to Fall, Tony Feghali sits with innovation consultant Noor Abu Jbara to explore how falling is not failure, and why the way we meet our fears matters more than avoiding them.

Through her early journey with horseback riding, Noor reflects on fear, hesitation, and what it takes to rebuild inner stability. She shares how learning to ride helped her let go of perfection, accept uncertainty, and build courage one ride at a time.

They discuss the emotional curve of setbacks, the power of self-awareness, and why surrendering is sometimes the first step toward real progress. Noor shares moments when life felt out of control and how the simple act of “getting back in the saddle” shaped how she now approaches work, healing, and growth.

In this episode of The Courage to Fall, Tony and co-host Sally Shamieh sit down with Salim Zwein, an agricultural engineer, founder of Izra’a, and passionate advocate for sustainable farming in Lebanon.

From his childhood obsession with trees to building rooftop ecosystems and founding a 200,000-member farming community, Salim shares how grief, curiosity, and grit shaped his journey.

They explore the art of reading the land, why experimentation is a privilege, and how creating a pesticide-free jungle on a rooftop became the seed for something much bigger.

Salim opens up about the real challenges of scaling a grassroots agritech platform in Lebanon and the vision driving him. A world where farmers thrive, communities connect, and nature is seen as a partner, not a problem.

His story is one of quiet resilience, systems thinking, and finding purpose in the dirt. Literally.

Tony Feghali sits down with longtime friend and yogi Eugénie “Gino” Kadid Sayegh for an honest and spirited conversation about love in business. From Mandela’s humble strength to Elon Musk’s controversial drive, they unpack what it truly means to lead with heart or without it.

Drawing on Gino’s deep connection to energy, prayer, and people, they explore the role of ego, faith, forgiveness, and confidence in shaping the leaders we follow and admire. What makes someone worth following? And can success without love ever be enough?

From laughter to reflection, this episode is a reminder that the best leaders don’t just build companies, they lift people.
