Mustafa

Mustafa Allawi has a simple belief. That nothing has shaped human belief more than stories.

It is the question he keeps returning to. How might we leverage our stories?

That question led him to found Hazen, a global production company for drivers of culture.

Hazen has amassed an international audience of 12+ million viewers online. Mustafa has worked with director James Cameron, comedian Bassem Youssef, founders Tony Robbins and Steve Bartlett, and served as a 2nd Unit Director on SBS's documentary series The Idea of Australia. Yet as he sees it, the best stories are always still to come.

The belief runs deeper than the work. Ever since leaving his home country of Iraq as a boy, Mustafa has carried one question with him. Why not? Why can't he build a global company and drive real impact?

He brings that same conviction to everyone Hazen partners and collaborates with. He believes we all have that fire within. We just need to listen to the stories we tell ourselves.
