Law of Attraction Meets Hard Work

Grief changed how Hala Taha approached entrepreneurship. After losing her father to COVID-19, she realized playing small wasn’t honoring his legacy. From that moment on, she stopped treating her business like a side hustle and fully committed to her vision. After hitting six figures month after month, she left her corporate role at Disney and launched YAP Media full-time. In this special 7 Years of YAP series, Hala joins Jack Wagoner on The Grateful Podcast to share how she found clarity during one of the hardest years of her life. She also breaks down how she built a top entrepreneurship podcast while developing a powerful personal brand in today’s era of creator entrepreneurship.
