101: Risk, Resilience, and Reinvention with Samah El Hakim

Maurice sits down with longtime friend and Beirut native, Samah El Hakim, Co-founder of Kook Creative Studio.

Samah is the embodiment of the Try Life On philosophy—a bold risk-taker who follows his heart with deep empathy. As a visionary entrepreneur, he has launched multiple companies while helping brands forge unique identities through graphic design and innovative creative thinking.

Dubbed a "Conscious Creator" of life and experience by Maurice, Samah’s journey has taken him from Lebanon to Canada with his wife, only to return to Lebanon in search of deeper meaning and impact. But just as his family resettled, Israel’s war on Lebanon began, bringing unforeseen challenges that forced him to adapt and pivot.

A testament to human resilience, creativity, and courage to navigate life's uncertainties; A Try Life On story.
