Today I have my guest speaker Sami Ghawi. One thing that intrigued me about what he asks is: " Think of 10 things that you're so passionate about that no matter what, these are the things that fuel this ridiculous natural energy within you. What is it? "  

The first conversation with Sami was the perfect conversation I have ever had. I almost had tears talking to him.  

 Sami Ghawi was born in Beirut, Lebanon. He lived in Kuwait up until the Gulf War, finished up high school in Cyprus, then immigrated to Canada in 1993 to go to McGill University. After getting his MBA, Sami worked for L'Oreal Canada for a few years in marketing until his true passions led him to start music company, FUSIONpresents in 2002 with the mandate of "helping artists do what they love". Now 19 years later, having played thousands of live shows, and helping hundreds of aspiring artists build their artistry, Sami has fortified his role as an artist, producer and mentor. In 2018, FUSIONpresents and the Surrey Board of Trade signed an agreement to create the Surrey Music City Centre with the intention of building Surrey's music economy and community.  In September of 2021, Sami and the FUSIONpresents house band, Apartment1109, released their first single, "I Wanna Be Cool" featuring local artist Khyla  Here is a short clip of the song and the podcast with Sami.
