Loves, this episode is pure fire! I’m sitting down with the one and only Maha Abouelenein, the force behind some of the world’s top brands and personal brands. Maha has been the secret sauce for big names like Gary Vee, Jim Kwik, Netflix in the Middle East, and even Google! Her new book, "Seven Rules of Self-Reliance," is the playbook you didn’t know you needed. We dive into how to create value in every situation, why being a long-term player is the key to success, and how self-reliance isn’t about doing it all yourself—it’s about knowing yourself, investing in yourself, and becoming indispensable to others. Get ready, because Maha drops so many gems, you’ll be taking notes for days!
