Feras Asakrieh — CEO
Mindset is everything. If we can control our thoughts and feelings, we can control our lives. This philosophy has been the cornerstone of my success in both work and personal life. Having worked in Corporate America and as an entrepreneur, I've certainly put in the hours—but I love every moment of it. Born in Dubai, I moved to Florida two decades ago without speaking a word of English. Fun fact: I learned English by watching over 2,000 movies. My friends think I need to watch 2,000 more, but I don’t agree! I’m passionate about a healthy lifestyle, which includes working out, sports, fitness, and reading. In my downtime, I strive to be an amazing father to my two sons and a loving husband to my wife. What drives me daily is helping others achieve their goals. Over the past 23 years, I’ve built three companies from the ground up into multi-million dollar businesses while simultaneously advancing to the executive level in my career. I chose a dual career path because I wasn’t sure which was right for me. Growing up, I believed corporate was the way, but moving to the USA introduced me to entrepreneurship. Fear of missing out and uncertainty about the future led me to pursue both paths simultaneously. 23 years later, I realized that it was the best decision. Being entrepreneurial within a corporate environment gave me an edge and advanced my career in unique ways.
