JOSEF AZAM BIOGRAPHY

Josef Azam is a leadership coach, motivational speaker, successful entrepreneur who is passionate about giving back and a digital marketing guru who has assisted customers in generating 1.5 billion dollars in sales. He guides and encourages the next generation with the expertise he has gathered by building a distinctive approach to business management and breaking down industry obstacles.

Josef has been on a mission to improve and inspire the lives of people who come from similar hardships around the world.

Josef Azam is currently the President of a non-profit organization located on the West Island of Montreal, whose mission is to support lower-income families that have recently immigrated to Canada. He is also a board member of another non-profit community-driven organization that helps Quebecers find employment opportunities and develop their skills as entrepreneurs.

Occasionally, Josef gives entrepreneurship and leadership workshops at John Abbott College. He also dedicates a lot of his time to hosting free conferences and seminars for various organizations, children, students and entrepreneurs. He uses much of his personal experiences and struggles through school and business as a source of inspiration.

In the past year and a half, Josef Azam has given over 50 leadership and keynote speeches to organizations across North America and Europe. He has spoken to over 5000 underserved youth in communities and organizations such as the Boys and Girls Club, YMCA, JA centers, and school boards. As of November 2022, Josef will be speaking in prisons and juvenile detention centers in California and Georgia.

As a young child, he gravitated to combat sports like boxing, MMA fighting, and wrestling because he felt that if he became a strong fighter, people would look up to him as a tough guy and forget that he was a poor kid. In his early 20s, his goal was to be a professional MMA fighter and he started his first business, a martial arts school called Black Hawk MMA. In 2004, Josef Azam was offered a professional MMA contract from the famous Quebec TKO promotion, but he turned it down to focus his attention on business because the income would not allow him to support his parents.

As Josef started to achieve financial success, his physical health took the backburner. He gained over 50 lbs. and started becoming very insecure with his appearance. After his first child was born, he made a commitment to live an extremely healthy and disciplined life in order to set a good example for himself. Josef Azam now trains regularly with his oldest son. His transformation pictures went viral on a couple of fitness blogs in 2016.

Josef graduated from Concordia University with a BA in Sociology in 2007. His main goal was to study at the John Molson School of Business, but he was not accepted in the marketing program because of his low grades. At 24 years old and with very little experience, Josef Azam founded a web and digital marketing agency in Montreal.

He first learnt online marketing through the “Digital Marketing for Dummies” book. Josef is notorious for learning everything on his own and doing whatever it takes to make things work.
