Turning Pain into Purpose: Struggle Is Your Success w/ Musap “Moose” Abdel

In this episode, host Munir Haque sits down with Musap “Moose” Abdel, a social-impact entrepreneur whose journey from systemic barriers to award-winning changemaker reframes what purposeful growth really looks like. Moose explains how he built QA Enterprises to guide companies on AI governance and literacy while running Struggle Is Your Success (SIYS), a nonprofit that turns lived experience into mentorship for underserved youth.

The conversation moves from crafting ethical AI strategies that respect data ownership to designing nonprofit boards that balance accountability with mission. Moose shares why journaling, disciplined calendars, and a values-driven advisory network keep both his for-profit and nonprofit ventures aligned. He also describes serving more than 500 young people and outlines plans to digitize programming and open an innovation hub that places community at the center of succession planning. Whether you’re leading a board, launching a social enterprise, or mentoring the next generation, Moose’s story proves that sustainable impact starts with humility, strategy, and relentless consistency.
