Ideate. Create. Develop. These are the three magic words that have guided this week's Libnanie guest to soaring heights. Maria Sobh is the co-founder, COO and Chief Design & Creation Officer of The Concept, a UAE start-up company that focuses on creating sustainable and innovative solutions in aviation, hospitality, and the medical industry, to list a few. What started out as a university project among friends, The Concept has now entered into a partnership agreement with Etihad Airways to create lightweight in-flight economy food trays. The 25-year-old entrepreneur discusses her recent achievement of being featured in the Forbes Middle East 30 Under 30 list, the inception of the start-up company, the development of the NEOS Fly+ food trays for Etihad Airways, the impact of technology to create innovative and sustainable solutions, and her thoughts for a more sustainable Lebanon as the UN's emergency fuel plan comes to an end.

With 1 in 4 people living with at least one mental health issue in Lebanon, it is important that the conversation around mental health never ends. And our special guest on this week's episode of "Libnanie with Elie" continues the dialogue of this silent epidemic through his whimsical and wonderful Squid Game-esque illustrations.  Rafik El Hariri, an artist, a university instructor, and a professional night owl, discusses his recent achievement of being featured in the Forbes Middle East 30 Under 30 list, his macabre artworks and their connection to mental health, the power of art during a time of despair, and the impact of social media. Rafik also recently published a new picture book for adults titled "I Found A Heart" where he explores the topics of mental health, love, and self-discovery.

Lebanese poet Kahlil Gibran once said, “You give but little, when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself, that you truly give”. And our special guest on this week’s brand new episode of “Libnanie with Elie” embodies this very quality. Rebecca Melham, food and travel blogger of Hearty Food Voyage, joins us all the way from Bordeaux, France to discuss her recent 5-day trip to Lebanon, eating “ashta” ice cream for the very first time, reconnecting with her father’s roots, the cultural difference between Lebanese and Australian people, the mature conversation of children in Lebanon, and grassroots strategies that Lebanese citizens can implement towards a better Lebanon. In the spirit of giving, the Master of International Law graduate has also produced a YouTube video of her recent trip to Lebanon; raw footage that captures the beauty and charm that we call home.
