Why He Walked Away from Facebook to Start Over | Sief Khafagi

In this episode of No Rescue, host Lame Kinikini sits with Seif, the son of Egyptian immigrants whose life was shaped by dual realities: cultural duty and American individualism. From ICU Fridays delivering Dr Pepper to his hospitalized parents, to watching his father lose recognition of his own son to Alzheimer’s, Seif learned resilience before he ever learned business. Despite cultural expectations to become a doctor or lawyer, Seif built his own world: Facebook career, entrepreneurial path, and a modern family that broke generational rules. This is a story of identity, duty, rebellion, love, and the privilege of choosing your hard.
