Notes from the top

Notes from the Top is a business podcast hosted by Christine Assouad, entrepreneur, investor and Shark on Shark Tank Lebanon.

Candid conversations with founders, investors and business leaders from the Middle East and around the world. We explore the decisions behind building companies, leading teams, raising capital and navigating change—and the personal stories behind the milestones.

From entrepreneurship and venture capital to family business and leadership, each episode examines what worked, what went wrong, and what our guests would do differently.

Season One, The Shark Series, takes you beyond the pitches and deals to meet the people behind Shark Tank: their beginnings, turning points and hard-earned lessons.

For founders, business owners and curious minds who want to build, lead and think with greater clarity.
