The Story of "Barber Mo" | The Reactive Entrepreneur Podcast with

In this powerful episode, I had the honor of sitting down with Sonny to share my personal and professional journey—how I built SKILLS by Barber Mo, a premium men's grooming business in the heart of Dubai.

This is not merely a story about grooming and style—it is a true testament to perseverance, resilience, and ambition. From beginning my journey as a young boy cutting hair at the age of 9, to enduring 14-hour workdays, every single day, I eventually built a brand that has become a recognized benchmark for excellence in men’s grooming across the region.

We also dive deep into the mindset shift it takes to rise above criticism, rejection, and self-doubt—and how I turned “I can’t” into “I WILL.”

In this episode, I share:

Why I started cutting hair as a kid in Syria

The hustle and grind behind launching SKILLS by Mo in Dubai

How I navigated through obstacles to turn a market weakness into my strength

The importance of passion, mindset, and finding your purpose

And yes—I reveal how I got the chance to cut and style the hair of Will Smith, Diego Maradona, and more!

This is for anyone chasing a dream, building a business, or simply looking for that push to level up. Stick around till the end—you won't want to miss how everything unfolded.

Thanks for tuning in. I promise this one’s worth your time.
