Summary

When the pandemic struck in 2020, Hala Taha’s role model, her father, died a tragic death from COVID-19. He was still a well-respected doctor and was in the middle of writing a book when he died. His death reminded Hala that life is too short to act small, so she launched YAP Media, a multimillion-dollar media agency that serves some of the biggest names in the business and entrepreneurship space. In this episode of YAPClassic, you’ll hear Hala’s first public speaking engagement at the 2022 MIT Gathering of Titans Conference, where she discusses her come-up story, her struggles with oppression and rejection, and why you should believe that life is limitless. In this episode, Hala will discuss: - How Hala’s father pulled his family out of poverty - When Hala realized she was different - How learning about the Law of Attraction changed Hala’s life - Why Hala was blackballed from the radio industry - When Hala gave up the belief that life is limitless - Becoming an intrapreneur within an organization - How the death of Hala’s father pushed her in a new direction - The right way to deal with gatekeepers - The importance of finding your talent stack - Why you should embrace the idea of death - Will social media fizzle out? - How to help underrepresented and oppressed communities - And other topics… Hala Taha is the founder and CEO of YAP Media, a top-rated media agency serving clients in the business and self-improvement industries. She’s also the host of Young and Profiting Podcast, the number one business and education podcast across all apps. Prior to finding success in the podcast industry, she started the Young Employee Network at Hewlett-Packard and founded the popular entertainment blog, The Sorority of Hip-Hop.
