Ahmad “AL” Fares did not just build a company. He built a mission born out of necessity, pain and a belief that connectivity is the gateway to human possibility.
In this powerful conversation, AL sits down with Patrick and shares how growing up in the slums of Beirut during civil war, surviving with limited access to the internet and later traveling to more than 100 countries shaped his vision for Calitech, the one click programmable eSIM platform now powering global travel giants.
This episode is a wake up call for every founder in the messy middle. For every entrepreneur who doubts themselves. For every creator who is building something meaningful and fighting internal and external voices telling them to quit. AL shows how purpose becomes armor. How connection creates opportunity. How frustration can become the spark for global impact.
Inside the episode:
- How struggle in Beirut became the fuel that shaped his mission
- Why suffering through roaming pain worldwide led to a new category
- How to protect your mindset when family and friends doubt you
- Why co-founders are not just hires but marriages
- Why entrepreneurs need to embrace failure as data and fuel
- The future of connectivity across satellite, cellular and the cloud
Listen to this episode if you want to build something bigger than revenue. Bigger than a trend. Bigger than one market. This is for those who choose to build with purpose.
If this episode moved you or gave you a different lens on adversity and growth, I want to invite you to go deeper.
I wrote Step Back and Leap for people exactly like us. People building through chaos. People trying to find meaning inside uncertainty. People choosing purpose over comfort. You can get it here:

Because sometimes the most powerful leaps forward start with stepping back, grounding yourself, and reconnecting to why you are here in the first place.
