Hani Mourra was born in Kuwait. When the Gulf War started in the 1990s, his family moved to Iraq, Jordan, the United States, and eventually Canada - where he now resides. Hani's first passion was video, which led him to launch Easy Online Video Tips to show people how video could boost the success of their business. From there, Hani created the Simple VideoPress plug-in to help automate uploading videos and integrating them into websites. One thing led to another, and Hani moved on from video to audio, revolutionizing the podcasting community by developing Simple Podcast Press - a plug-in that allows podcasters to automate the processes of building their email lists, growing their audience, and publishing their podcasts. The player you are seeing above is in fact a part of the Simple Podcast Press tool.
