Muhammad Lila

Muhammad Lila is the founder of Goodable, one of the world’s fastest-growing news wellness platforms. Goodable delivers health and happiness on demand, with a mission to transform every screen in the world into a tool that improves your mental health.

His journey to building technology that helps millions began with a simple ‘what if?’ realization: “What if instead of covering all the bad things happening in the world—we journalists shared only the good news instead?”

Originally from Toronto, Lila spent over a decade as an international correspondent with CNN and ABC News, covering conflicts in Afghanistan, Syria, and other challenging locations around the world. But something shifted during his time reporting from war zones. He began experimenting with sharing stories of hope and resilience—and the response was extraordinary. His social media reach exploded from 200,000 to 3.9 million followers per month, proving what he suspected: people were hungry for positive content. That insight led to Goodable, a platform that has reached 100 million peak daily impressions and whose proprietary AI technology has been proven through clinical trials to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression by as much as 64%.

Drawing from his front-line journalism experience and his success Lila brings a unique perspective on authentic leadership, innovation under pressure, and the power of shifting narratives to create positive change. His story demonstrates how recognizing what the world truly needs can lead to building solutions that scale to help millions.
