The Fixer: A Journalist's Accidental Journey through the Middle East by Amjad Tadros Amjadtadros.com https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G4RFWG9Z Dive into the heart of the Middle East with The Fixer, Amjad M. Tadros's gripping memoir of life as a CBS News “fixer.” A Jordanian son of Palestinian refugees, Tadros survived a U.S. missile strike in Baghdad, only to be visited by Saddam Hussein in his hospital bed. From tracking 9/11 hijackers' origins to witnessing the Arab Spring's broken dreams, he navigated wars, dictators, and hope with a front-row seat to history. Straddling Arab and Western worlds, Tadros faced accusations of betrayal from both sides—labeled a spy by some Arabs, a defender of tyrants by Westerners. With humor, courage, and unflinching honesty, he unveils the truth behind the headlines, offering a rare glimpse into a region of chaos and resilience. Perfect for readers of The Forever War and Guests of the Ayatollah, The Fixer is a vibrant tale of identity, survival, and the search for truth in the Middle East—a place Tadros calls home. About the author Amjad M. Tadros is an award-winning investigative journalist and media entrepreneur with more than three decades of leadership in journalism, digital media, and communications. As CBS News’ Middle East producer from 1990 to 2023, he managed regional coverage of transformative events, including Iraq’s wars, the September 11 hijackers’ backstories, the Arab Spring, and Syria’s chemical attacks on civilians. His commitment to truth earned him four Emmy Awards, including for stories about Syria’s chemical gas attacks (2016) and White Helmets (2017), a 2008 Peabody Award, and two Alfred I. duPont Awards from Columbia Journalism School. In 2013, Tadros co-founded Syria Direct, an independent media organization empowering young Syrians to deliver impartial news about their country’s conflict. Publishing in Arabic and English, it reaches audiences in Syria, the Syrian diaspora, diplomats, and scholars. It serves as a resource for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees’ Commission of Inquiry on Syria. Syria Direct earned the 2017 McNulty Prize, the 2019 Migration Media Award, and the 2020 Free Press Unlimited Syria Co-Production Fund prize for its impactful journalism. Now retired from CBS News, Tadros focuses on strategic media initiatives and governance while managing his family’s Medjool date farm, exporting premium dates globally. He holds an honors degree in mechanical engineering from Imperial College London and a diploma in public narrative from the Harvard Kennedy School.

Today on The Cameron Journal Podcast, we are joined by Amjad Tadros who has spent a life in journalism helping western media outlets report from the volatile regions of the Middle East. He has been shot, injured and more during his 30 years in journalism. Living in Jordan, missiles from Iran were dropped as we spoke and sirens can be heard faintly during the recording. We talk about journalism, the volatility in the Middle East and of course the war with Iran. His new book is called The Fixer, is out now!

Amjad Tadros was CBS News' Middle East producer from 1990 to 2023, during which he managed regional coverage of transformative events, including Iraq's wars, the September 11 hijackers' backstories, the Arab Spring, and Syria's chemical attacks on civilians. His commitment to truth earned him four Emmy Awards, including for stories about Syria's chemical gas attacks (2016) and White Helmets (2017), a 2008 Peabody Award, and two Alfred I duPont Awards from Columbia Journalism School. He is also the author of the recently published book The Fixer: A Journalist's Accidental Journey Through the Middle East. We talk about current events in the Middle East - including the war in Iran, the people and various cultures of the Middles East, how war can be prevented, Yemen, how the lies a spy told helped instigate the Iraq War, Islam, the actual meaning of "Jihad," why wars start, nuclear weapons, Qatar, the possibility of the war in Iran spreading, why war does not solve anything, the Epstein files, war journalism and what goes on behind the scenes, fake-news accusations and why they break his heart, meeting Osama Bin Laden's bodyguard, Bin Laden's objective, 9-11, what a "fixer" is in journalism, trustworthy news outlets, and more.

In this episode of Walk Talk Listen, Maurice Bloem speaks with peacebuilding and humanitarian leader Amjad Saleem, whose work spans interfaith engagement, conflict resolution, and development across global contexts.   Amjad shares how growing up across Nigeria, Ethiopia, and the UK shaped his identity as a “third culture kid,” giving him an early appreciation for diversity, faith, and belonging. His journey took a decisive turn after the 2004 tsunami, when a personal and professional shift led him from engineering into humanitarian work and peacebuilding.   Reflecting on his experiences in Sri Lanka, Amjad highlights a powerful lesson: rebuilding communities is not just about physical infrastructure, but about relationships, trust, and understanding. As he puts it, building the “hardware” is not enough if we neglect the “software” of human connection.   The conversation explores the role of faith in today's world, the growing crisis of trust, and the importance of creating spaces where people can truly encounter one another. Amjad also shares insights from working with young people, emphasizing their deep spiritual curiosity and their desire to express values through action.   This is a conversation about identity, purpose, and what it takes to build peace and hope in a divided world.   Listener Engagement: Discover the songs picked by Amjad and other guests on our #walktalklisten here.

It's an era of breakthroughs in Alzheimer's research, yet for many clinicians, it's also a time of profound uncertainty. We are currently navigating competing definitions of the disease, multiple new biomarkers coming on market seemingly every week, and the clinical rollout of new amyloid antibodies. How do we translate this rapid-fire science into daily practice? On this week's GeriPal podcast, we sit down with dementia experts Halima Amjad, Barak Gaster, and Heather Whitson. We dive deep into: The evolving definitions of Alzheimer's disease.  Does someone have Alzheimer's disease if you have only an abnormal biomarker as defined by the Alzheimer's Association, or is amyloid pathology necessary but not sufficient to define Alzheimer's as per the International Working Group (IWG) recommendations? Where do blood-based biomarkers for Alzheimer's fit into the diagnostic workup, and should they be used at all in primary care?  FYI - here is my take on that question in a recent JAMA IM article titled "The Limited Role of Alzheimer's Disease Blood-Based Biomarkers in Primary Care." What's the role of amyloid antibodies in the care of individuals with Alzheimer's disease, including who to use them on? We covered a lot and discussed some of these resources that you can do a deeper dive on: Blood-based biomarker resources JAMA article on Blood-Based Biomarkers for Alzheimer's Disease: Preventing Unintended Consequences  Alzheimer's Dementia article on Blood-based biomarkers for detecting Alzheimer's disease pathology in cognitively impaired individuals within specialized care settings: A systematic review and meta-analysis JAMA IM article on The Limited Role of Alzheimer Disease Blood-Based Biomarkers in Primary Care Appropriate use recommendations for amyloid antibodies Donanemab: Appropriate use recommendations  Lecanemab: Appropriate Use Recommendations Primary Care Resources Cognition in Primary Care program A JAGS article on "Large Health System Quality Improvement Intervention Providing Training and Tools to Improve Detection of Cognitive Impairment in Primary Care" Other resources AGS's new online curriculum for Alzheimer's Disease By Eric Widera  

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In today's episode, we dive deep into the powerful and provocative conversation between Tom Bilyeu and Amjad Massad, CEO and founder of Replit. Picking up in part two of their discussion, the two explore the societal—and even existential—impacts of technology, with a special focus on AI. The conversation ranges from reflections on Ted Kaczynski's (the Unabomber's) warnings about technology's effects on our sense of purpose and meaning, to the potential for AI to both empower individuals and centralize control in the hands of the elite. You'll hear Tom Bilyeu and Amjad Massad tackle tough questions: Does technology inevitably make us less happy? Can society self-correct when things go wrong, or are we at the mercy of powerful systems? They discuss everything from government regulation and the rise of social antibodies—like shifts in attitudes around smoking and junk food—to the risks of social unrest, information overload, and the war between centralization and decentralization in the digital age. Whether you're passionate about the promise of AI, worried about its pitfalls, or just fascinated by the big-picture consequences of our technological evolution, this episode will challenge your thinking and give you new insights.

On this episode of Possible, Reid Hoffman and Aria Finger sit down with Amjad Masad, founder and CEO of Replit, to explore how AI is fundamentally changing who gets to build software and what that means for work, creativity, and human agency. Masad traces his journey from growing up in Jordan teaching himself to code and connects it to his love of video games which helped inspire him to build a platform that turns natural language into working software. The conversation spans everything from why gaming mindsets make better builders, to how CEOs are rediscovering hands-on creation, to why “vibe coding” is the next form of literacy and why computational thinking is more important than syntax mastery. The conversation also digs into the future of AI agents, long-running autonomous workflows, and what it means to design environments for machines rather than humans. They also confront harder questions about jobs, fear, regulation, and society's responsibility during a cognitive industrial revolution. The episode ultimately reframes AI not as a replacement for human creativity, but as a force that can return people to a more entrepreneurial, expressive, and meaningful way of life.  For more info on the podcast and transcripts of all the episodes, visit https://www.possible.fm/podcast/ 01:45 – Introductions and Amjad's background 02:07 – Growing up in Jordan, video games, and learning to build 06:19 – How gaming culture shaped Replit's product philosophy 09:55 – Designing Replit around safety, reversibility, and exploration 13:24 – Defining vibe coding and where the term came from 15:55 – The new literacy: computational thinking and soft skills 22:09 – Getting past the blank page and learning by making 25:06 – Entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and who Replit empowers 30:48 – Designing environments for AI agents and durable businesses 35:55 – Open source, abstraction, and “cathedrals built from bazaars” 38:25 – The future of corporate work and creative ownership 48:29 – Fear, skepticism, and cultural responsibility around AI 54:13 – Jobs, disruption, and becoming AI-native in a changing economy 01:11:12 – Rapid Fire Questions

I recently had the privilege of hosting a powerful session with not just one, but two Aptitude Training Experts, (Mr. Amjad & Mr. Prakash)We often treat Aptitude as just another subject to "clear" for an exam. But in this discussion, we debunked that myth completely. The experts revealed that Aptitude isn't just about math or solving puzzles—it's about decision-making, problem-solving, and logical thinking in high-pressure situations.

Amjad Masad (@amasad), founder and CEO of Replit, and Yohei Nakajima (@yoheinakajima), Managing Partner at Untapped Capital, joined Village Global partner Ben Casnocha for a live masterclass with Village Global founders.Takeaways:AI agents are rapidly evolving, with coding and deep research agents showing the most traction today. But general-purpose assistants are still brittle — trip-planning and high-context tasks remain hard.Replit Agent shows how quickly full-stack applications can be built today, sometimes in under an hour — even by non-technical users. What matters most isn't a CS degree, it's traits like curiosity, grit, and systems thinking.Many AI startups are too quick to claim “moats” when most don't really have one. True defensibility requires deep domain insight, unique data, and the right founder traits.The rise of vertical AI agents is compelling — specialists outperform general agents for now. A real AGI will change everything, and it's so disruptive it's not even worth planning around.The best investors still look for timeless traits: hard-charging, resourceful founders, attacking stagnant industries. AI changes a lot — but not what makes a great early-stage team.Tools like Replit are making vibe coding (yes, even for non-coders) a superpower. From executive dashboards to lightweight Crunchbase clones, agents are already creating real enterprise value.Don't over-engineer AI use cases. Start with internal tools or things you've always wanted to build. The best projects often come from personal curiosity and side projects.Resources mentioned:Replit – The coding platform behind Replit Agent, enabling fast full-stack app creation with AIVCpedia by Yohei Nakajima – A startup intelligence platform vibe-coded with Replit AgentTweet: $150k → $400 NetSuite extension – Real-world example of arbitrage using ReplitTED Talk on Grit by Angela Duckworth – Referenced by Amjad as a key trait for AI builders“Perfectionism” blog post by Amjad Masad – Why it holds builders back and how to overcome itSeven Powers by Hamilton Helmer – The strategy book Amjad calls the best resource on real moatsNEO – A fully autonomous ML engineerLayers – An autonomous AI marketing agent that lives in your IDEBasis – A vertical AI agent for accounting firmsNDEA – A new lab (founded by François Chollet & Mike Knoop) exploring AGI with program synthesisThanks for listening — if you like what you hear, please review us on your favorite podcast platform.Check us out on the web at www.villageglobal.vc or get in touch with us on Twitter @villageglobal.Want to get updates from us?

In this episode of Hold Your Fire!, Richard is joined by Crisis Group's experts Mairav Zonszein, Amjad Iraqi, Max Rodenbeck and Rob Blecher to discuss Israel's new ground offensive in Gaza and its contentious efforts to take over control of aid distribution amid a deepening humanitarian crisis. Richard first speaks to Mairav, Amjad and Max about “Operation Gideon's Chariots”, Israel's military campaign that appears aimed at fragmenting Gaza territorially while linking military operations to the management of humanitarian aid. They examine how the war is affecting Israel's domestic politics and whether public sentiment is shifting. They also discuss how the war has affected Israel's international standing, with European leaders voicing growing criticism of Israel's conduct. Richard then turns to Rob to take a closer look at Israel's aid distribution plan and its reported aim to provide only minimal levels of food after months of blockade, despite most Palestinians in Gaza already facing severe hunger.For more, check out our recent statement “Saving Gaza from Starvation” our Analyst's Notebook entry “The Vanishing Line between Starvation and Famine in Gaza” and our Israel/Palestine page.

Amjad Masad set out more than a decade ago to pursue the dream of unleashing 1B software creators around the world. With millions of Replit users pre-ChatGPT, that vision was already becoming a reality. Turbocharged by LLMs, the vision of enabling anyone to code—from 12-year-olds in India to knowledge workers in the U.S.—seems less and less radical. In this episode, Amjad explains how an explosion in the developer population could change the economy, society and more. He also discusses his early days programming in Jordan, his unique management approach and what AI will mean for the global economy.

In this episode of Hold Your Fire!, Richard is joined by Crisis Group experts Max Rodenbeck, Mairav Zonszein, Amjad Iraqi and Michael Wahid Hanna to discuss the breakdown of the Gaza ceasefire, the likely effect on Palestinians in Gaza and the goals of both Israel's renewed military campaign and the U.S. strikes on the Houthis in Yemen. Richard first talks to Max, Mairav and Amjad about Israel's return to war, including its retreat from a three-phase ceasefire deal it struck with Hamas in January. They examine Israeli views of the war, including the growing public anger at the government's handling of the hostage crisis and the resumption of the war. They also explore Hamas's strength in Gaza, the humanitarian catastrophe in the enclave and the possible futures of governance in the strip. Richard then speaks to Michael, Crisis Group's U.S. Program Director, about the Trump administration's emerging Middle East policy, as the U.S. backs Israel's campaign in Gaza, strikes the Houthis in Yemen and steps up pressure on Iran, even as the president signals he wants to enter nuclear talks with Tehran.

In the first of three episodes on the crisis in the Middle East, Adam Shatz is joined by Mairav Zonszein and Amjad Iraqi to discuss the experiences of Israeli Jews and Palestinian citizens of Israel. While the Netanyahu government is opposed by many Israeli Jews, and increasing numbers have left the country, support for Israel's wars in Gaza and Lebanon remains high because few can imagine an alternative. For Palestinian citizens of Israel, who have long suffered restrictions on their democratic rights, the escalating crisis has intensified that discrimination, while stirring a deep sense of fear regarding their future. Mairav and Amjad talk to Adam about the tensions in Israeli society, not least between the government and military, and why Netanyahu has shown so little interest in the lives of the hostages still held by Hamas.Mairav Zonszein is a journalist and Senior Israel Analyst with Crisis Group.Amjad Iraqi is an editor at +972 Magazine and an associate fellow with Chatham House's MENA programme.Read Adam Shatz on the death of Nasrallah:https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v46/n20/adam-shatz/after-nasrallah Hosted on Acast.

Traditionally, security checks and testing are performed towards the end of the software development lifecycle. However, discovering vulnerabilities at that stage can be costly and time-consuming. This observation has led to the shift-left movement, which advocates for implementing security testing earlier in the software development process. HoundDog AI is a startup focused on software to The post Shift-Left Security and Code Scanning with Amjad Afanah and Sudipta Mukherjee appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Before there can be any kind of stable coexistence of people in Israel and Palestine, there will have to be a stable coexistence of narratives. And that's what we'll be attempting this week on the show: to look at both the present and the past through Israeli and Palestinian perspectives. The point is not to choose between them. The point is to really listen to them. Even — especially — when what's being said is hard for us to hear.Our first episode is with Amjad Iraqi, a senior editor at +972 magazine and a policy analyst at the Al-Shabaka think tank. We discuss the history of Gaza and its role within broader Palestinian politics, the way Hamas and the Israeli government under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reached a “violent equilibrium,” why Palestinians feel “duped” by the international community, what Hamas thought it could achieve with its attack, whether Israeli security and Palestinian liberty can coexist, Iraqi's skepticism over peace resolutions that rely on statehood and nationalism, how his own identity as a Palestinian citizen of Israel offers a glimpse at where coexistence can begin and much more.Mentioned:The Only Language They Understand by Nathan ThrallBook RecommendationsEast West Street by Philippe SandsOrientalism by Edward SaidThe Fire Next Time by James BaldwinThoughts?
