Ricardo Karam: A voice connecting worlds

 � In this powerful episode of Forward Moves, host Raja Haddad sits down with renowned Lebanese media personality, entrepreneur, and TAKREEM Foundation founder Ricardo Karam for an unfiltered conversation about dignity, identity, and the power of human connection. 

 🇱 �  Taped in Beirut, Ricardo reflects on decades of interviewing world leaders, artists, and everyday people — not as a collector of names, but as a listener driven by curiosity and purpose. He speaks candidly about what he believes the Arab world has lost, why identity is rooted in values rather than geography, and how globalization and imitation have diluted authenticity. 

📌This episode explores: 

• Why Ricardo believes “we lost our dignity as Arabs” — and how it can be restored • The power of curiosity and treating every human encounter equally 

• Resourcefulness over resilience in the Lebanese experience 

• The turning point from personal success to purposeful impact 

• How TAKREEM is reshaping the global narrative about Arab excellence

• What the next generation must carry forward to shape the future 

At its core, this conversation is a reminder that progress isn’t always loud. And that moving forward begins with remembering who we are.
