Someone who works hard, very hard. And in silence. Away from traditional media spotlights. Ali Azzaoui is the CEO of CoZone, leading coworking space of the future in Morocco. He spends his days dealing with real customer pain points. Not theories. Not slides. Reality. His goal is simple: build a better coworking experience in Morocco. Safer. More professional. More comfortable. Closer to what people actually need to do their best work. We talked about growth mindset, not the LinkedIn version, the real one. The kind you build when you run marathons. When discipline shows up every single day, even when motivation doesn’t. We also went deep into something crazy: a 24-hour non-stop run. Why someone would do that? And how that mindset translates directly into running a startup. Ali also shares what he brought back from Silicon Valley. What coworking really looks like inside places like Nvidia or Wikipedia. And why Morocco can, and should, aim higher. Finally, someone explains clearly: incubation vs acceleration vs mentorship. No confusion. Topics everyone hears about, but almost no one dares to question. We also talked money. Ambitions. Prices. Numbers. Things most Moroccan entrepreneurs avoid talking about. If you care about the future of coworking, or building a business with ethics, ambition and clarity in 2026, this episode is for you. Watch it.
