Muhammad Farouk and his two sons
Farouk, son of businessman Mohamed Farouk Abdel Moneim, revealed the personal and professional experiences he went through working within the family company.
Farouk added, in an interview with media personality Lamis Al-Hadidi on the “Billion Journey” program, on Al-Nahar channel, that the disagreements between him and his father are a natural part of the administrative process.
He continued: “If there is a decision that I want to take in the same way and he sees the opposite, he can also let me take this decision so that I can learn from it, so give me this space even if there is a loss.”
Farouk pointed out that this freedom to make decisions, even if they are risky, gives him greater motivation to study matters more deeply and take calculated steps.
He continued: “This is one of the things that makes me most excited about this decision. I am studying it more,” stressing that the continuous guidance and support from his father gives him great confidence, but at the same time he is keen to develop his personal skills and take responsibility himself.
Regarding the lessons he learned from his father’s financial experiences, especially the experience of losing 60% of his money, Farouk Jr. said that large loss situations are considered a real test of the ability to be patient and endure.
He added: “When my father tells me about the experience of losing approximately 60% of his money, I cannot sleep… I am trying to strengthen my heart for this stage.”
He stressed that learning from real experiences, even if they are difficult, contributes to refining his professional personality and makes him a leader capable of facing challenges with confidence.
Daughter of Muhammad Farouk: The ability to learn from mistakes is the most important thing I learned from my father and grandfather
Dina, the daughter of businessman Mohamed Farouk Abdel Moneim, said that the most important thing she learned from her father Farouk and her grandfather Ibrahim Saada is the ability to learn from mistakes and the importance of achieving a balance between work and life.
Dina added: “You work, but in the end you can return to the family. The most important thing for us is to have lunch together, even if it is once a week. We meet every day in the middle of the day and see each other.”
She explained that dealing with mistakes helped her grow personally and professionally, noting that these experiences made her realize the value of family time amidst being busy with work.
Dina touched on her role in the new “One Life” project, which specializes in healthy foods and healthy snacks, and said: “The whole idea started with blueberries, because they contain many antioxidants.”
She pointed out that the goal is to provide healthy meals, while maintaining high nutritional value.
Dina concluded her speech by clarifying that her participation in the project represents an extension of her family experience, as she learned from every member of the family, stressing the importance of combining learning from family experience and personal creativity in business development.
