In this episode of Growing Pictou County, One Story at a Time, we are joined by Moataz Ibrahim—a mechanical engineer and the founder of Clear Path Engineering. After relocating to Pictou County for an engineering role, Moataz found not only a welcoming community but also a strong network of support that helped him turn a side hustle into a growing business.

Through Clear Path Engineering, Moataz helps creators, startups, and dreamers turn their physical product ideas intoreality—right here in Pictou County. He shares how local programs like the Pictou County Partnership’s Side Hustle Program and resources at Ignite Atlantic played a key role in getting his business off the ground.

Moataz also opens up about overcoming self-doubt, embracing innovation (including the use of AI), and why Pictou County proved to be the perfect place to start something new. Whether you’re full of ideas or just looking for inspiration, this episode is full of encouragement and insight.
