Episode #41: Mohammad Anwar - Softway & Culture+

Mohammad is the President and CEO of Softway and Culture+, and WSJ Best Selling Author of 'Love as a Business Strategy: Resilience, Belonging and Success.' He started Softway as a technology services company with his family at the age of 20 while pursuing his B.S. in Computer Science with a minor in Mathematics at the University of Houston.

He is celebrated for creating and sustaining a humanity-centered culture at Softway based on the philosophy that love is a business strategy. However, there was a time when the company culture at Softway was so toxic that it almost caused the enterprise to fold, but he took full responsibility for the problems at Softway and knew that, as the leader, he needed to change for the company to survive. After deep introspection, he eventually turned the company around. From this experience, he co-authored a WSJ bestselling book, Love as a Business Strategy.
