A Podcast where Business and Technology Leaders share their journeys to success.
My name is Youssef, I’m just an engineer with a passion for human beings and what they’re capable of achieving. That’s exactly why I decided to start The Titans Podcast, to explore the minds of some of the most fascinating leaders in Business and Technology.
In this podcast, I’ll be sitting down with visionary entrepreneurs, tech pioneers, venture capitalists, AI experts, and leaders from various industries, all of whom share one thing in common: they’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
I truly believe that business and technology go hand in hand, constantly fueling and advancing each other. That’s why I wanted to bring together these powerful fields, to not only share knowledge but also open doors to new opportunities for my audience.
Whether you’re a future founder, a tech enthusiast, or someone eager to learn, The Titans Podcast is for you.
