We often establish in this episode that Bassem Youssef needs no introduction, at least in the Arab World and North Africa - but to those who aren't as familiar, he was once considered the Jon Stewart of Egypt. Now, he lives in California in a constant state of reinvention, from stand-up comedy to advocacy of healthy living. We chat with Bassem Youssef about the multiplicities of being an ambitious human in today's world, and of course - about his favorite Egyptian food.
