For this episode, we invited Dr. Thomas A. Morgan, an award-winning filmmaker to speak about his personal leap of faith—leaving his cushy banking career to pursue his passion of documentary filmmaking. His new film, [Soufra](https://www.soufrafilm.com/) documents the unlikely yet heartwarming entrepreneurial journey of refugee Mariam Shaar. Mariam is a generational Palestinian refugee, who has spent her life in Beirut’s ​Burj El Barajneh​ refugee camp. The film chronicles Mariam’s awe-inspiring movement to create ​SOUFRA, a catering company and her tumultuous journey to expand it into a successful food-truck business alongside a dynamic team of fellow refugee women.
