People want your ideas and your insights more than you think they do.

And so how can you take an article and give your hot take on it?

See something happening in the news related to the tech industry and say why this is important.

And people are going to be looking to hire you so they're going to want to know how do you think, what are your skills, and what insights can you share?

Start doing it.

Hey, everyone, I'm Gene Chatsky.

Welcome to Hermione.

We've got a special mailbag episode today that's all about change.

It's about navigating career pivots, stepping back into the workforce, figuring out how to keep moving forward,

even when the pack feels uncertain.

I am so thrilled to be joined once again by Maha Abu Elanane.

You have just heard her in our main episode this week where we talked about her incredible new book,

Seven Rules of Self-Reliance. Maha is a global communication

strategist, a branding expert, someone who really understands how to find your power, especially

in moments of transition. And she is here to help answer your real-life questions, practical,

honest advice about what to do next, how to do it with confidence.

So whether you are bouncing back from a layoff, making a shift after having kids,

or wondering how to find a gig job that you can do from home,

today's conversation is full of guidance and encouragement to help you take that next step.

Maha, so good to see you again.

You ready to dive into our first question?

I'm so excited.
