Lloyed Lobo joins the show to discuss his community-driven work at Traction and Boast, two firms that he co-founded to connect and empower entrepreneurs and innovators from around the world. He shares how his journey as a refugee who witnessed first-hand the power of a tight-knit community during the Gulf War shaped his mindset and gave him the drive to not only succeed in business, but to help others do so, too. Lloyed’s work has been covered in Forbes, TechCrunch, Fox Business, and more, and he has been featured on more than forty podcasts. Join Lloyed, Hafiz, and Gilbert today for a conversation about the power of bringing people together.
