In this episode of Founders Future, with host Olivia Sammons, we’re joined by Youssef Mekawy, founder of Ummah Career Lab, a career coaching and professional development platform dedicated to helping Muslim professionals and students build value-aligned careers. Youssef shares his journey from studying translation and human resources to working in higher education across the U.S., where he combined his passion for career development, coaching, and community leadership to create a platform that bridges identity, faith, and professional growth.
Youssef dives into his mission of helping individuals—particularly Muslim youth and immigrant communities—navigate the transition from education to the workforce with confidence and authenticity. Through group coaching, workshops, and community partnerships, he empowers clients to align their careers with their values while overcoming cultural and societal challenges. He also shares insights on building impact-driven work, managing time as a solopreneur, and the importance of slowing down to appreciate milestones while growing a purpose-led business.
