He’s one of America’s young elite—millions of dollars, real estate, Lamborghinis, patents, companies,
and charitable organizations—but no one knows him till now.

On the surface, Hisham Ahmad is just a young man from Dallas, Texas. He began his journey
mirroring the staunch work ethic of his Pakistani immigrant parents. Although pushed to achieve the
‘American Dream,’ Hisham dragged his heels until he found the true secret behind the American
Dream: having the courage to screw things up until you get them right, in life and entrepreneurship.

His whirlwind success came with a price. Like most teenagers, Hisham suffered from loneliness,
boredom, frustration, and often head-spinning agony over what it takes to be a triumph in the
modern world. He crawled on his knees through a business and entrepreneurial education before
most, and put up with the nosebleeds, social anxiety, and heartbreak (mostly from girls) along the way.

It’s time for one of America’s most successful, hidden, and endearing coming-of-age stories to be
revealed through the story of Hisham Ahmad.
