Young and Profiting with Hala Taha
Business:Entrepreneurship
We’re told from a young age that we should follow our dreams and do what we love. However, too many people give up after their first roadblock or abandon their dreams altogether. When we leave our passions behind or stop trying, we are building an unfulfilling life for ourselves.
What does it look like to follow your dreams, even if those dreams keep changing?
Hala Taha is the perfect example of somebody who reached for the stars in everything she did, and sometimes fell right back where she started. Instead of giving up, she adjusted her path with the skills she acquired and built a new dream for herself.
Now, she’s her own boss with a thriving company and she hosts the #1 Education podcast across all platforms.
In this YAP Replay, the host of the Follow Your Dream podcast, Robert Miller, talks to Hala about how she rebuilt her life again and again. They discuss the rejections she has faced in her career and what led her to make specific career choices and pivots. They also talk about how Hala’s life is calming down after half a decade of hustling.
Topics Include:
- How it feels for Hala to be living her dreams
- Hala’s start at HOT97
- Why did Hala leave HOT97?
- The Sorority of Hip Hop
- Hala’s experience with MTV
- Working at Hewlett-Packard alongside getting her MBA
- How her tech skills accelerated her career
