Check out Bisher Abu Taleb, co-founder of Jordanian online Arabic music school i3zif, discuss the successes and challenges facing his startup in this video submission for Wamda's Mix N' Mentor Competition.

The competition focuses on implementing mentors' advice given during Mix N' Mentor, and the lessons entrepreneurs can draw from taking action and tackling their startup challenges heads-on. Mix N' Mentor participants are invited to submit an initial video detailing their startup's main challenge, what they learned during Mix N' Mentor and how they will implement it as well as what metrics they'll monitor to benchmark their progress (more info here). Finalists from each city will compete in the finale to win an all-expenses-paid trip to Silicon Valley, where they will get a week's coworking space, and the chance to meet Googlers right on the Google campus.
