Unfiltered by Blask and Soho House
An intimate exploration of the personal journey, with curated guests connecting the professional and personal aspects of life, inspirations, and key moments that define growth, decision-making and transformation.
The Unfiltered event series hosted Fady Atallah from Moment Factory, on April 17th at our Montréal office.
This first edition of Blask × Soho House took place last evening with Fady Atallah. A real, unfiltered story of Fady's journey. He talked about his life, his career, and his decisions, about coincidences, critical thinking and conscious choices. We also discussed the concept of destiny or 'maktoub' (مكتوب) as they say, all through the prism of his experiences from Lebanon during the civil war to Montreal to maths, political science, the internet, film, Bluesponge, culture, content, media, cities, Daily tous les jours, family, Mouna, Little Bits, Moment Factory and the constant search for meaning.
What place should we occupy in the world? What role can or should we play? The individual vs. the collective. Why do we decide in favour of certain things and say no to others? And how do all these fragments — these little pieces — come together to shape our lives and mould who we are and what we do?
