[26.9] FounderFuel Dinner Series — From Audience to Empire w/ Anwar Jibawi (NY)

​Once again, Aureum is bringing together a carefully curated room of Founders, C-suite Executives, and Investors — this time in New York City, joined by one of the most recognizable figures in the global creator economy.

​From Audience to Empire w/ Anwar Jibawi

​Anwar Jibawi built a 66M+ following from the ground up. Then he did what most creators don't — he built a company behind it. Jibawi Productions, a full-scale production studio where he writes, directs, and produces all of his content. Anwar's Kitchen, a Los Angeles restaurant he co-founded with his mother, rooted in their Palestinian heritage. And now, a deliberate pivot toward podcasting and scripted entertainment.

​This is not a content talk. Nor a social media masterclass. It is a rare opportunity to hear directly from someone who successfully transformed audience into enterprise — and to explore why the fundamentals of building remain remarkably similar, regardless of the industry you are building in.

​We look forward to sharing this evening with you.
