Send us Fan MailThe Arab and Muslim business community in Metro Detroit is one of the most powerful in the country — but does it get the recognition it deserves?In this episode of the MotivateMe313 Podcast, OZ Media sits down with Bilal Hammoud and Saif Alsenad — representatives of the American Arab Chamber of Commerce — for one of the most important business and community conversations we've had at this table. Two leaders. One mission. No filter.We go straight to the source on the questions the Arab and Muslim community has been asking: What does the Chamber actually do behind the scenes?

What the Chamber actually does day-to-day that most people don't see — what real impact looks like behind the scenes The resources, programs, and opportunities the Chamber is providing that Arab and Muslim entrepreneurs might not even know exist The KEY organizations, institutions, and communities the Chamber has built relationships with — and why those specific bridges mattered How the American Arab Chamber builds bridges with African American, Latino, and other minority business communities in one of the most diverse cities in the country When Islamophobia, foreign policy, and local conflict hit — how does the Chamber show up? Do they take positions or stay neutral? The 5–10 year vision for the American Arab Chamber of Commerce — what does full success look like?

The Superpower of Bringing People Together With Amy Wiggins | Lakeland Chamber of Commerce As the President + CEO of the Lakeland Chamber of Commerce, Amy is dedicated to creating a climate where business can prosper. She and her team do this by advocating for pro-business policies and initiatives, connecting businesses to resources, and strengthening relationships.

On today's episode we discuss: • Why great customer experience is built on relationships and making people feel seen and heard • How chambers of commerce create value by connecting businesses, resources, leaders, and community partners • Why "nonprofit" is a tax status, not a business model, and how great teams still require investment, trust, and buy-in • The importance of collaboration, belonging, and gathering in building stronger businesses and stronger communities • How talent development, career pathways, education, infrastructure, and public policy all help create long-term business growth This makes the case for how important local chambers of commerce are to communities and the impact they have on businesses of all sizes - and that is great customer service!
