Young and Profiting with Hala Taha

Dr. Edith Eger was tortured for years in Auschwitz. Maya Angelou was violently attacked by a grown man at age 8. Colin O'Brady was told he'd never walk normally again after being severely burned in a fire. These survivors made a choice not to let their pasts define their futures. In today's episode, we share their stories.

Featured in this episode are Dr. Edith Eger, a best-selling author, psychologist, and survivor of the Holocaust; Donald Miller, author, public speaker, and CEO of StoryBrand; Benjamin Hardy, organizational psychologist and the world’s leading expert on the psychology of entrepreneurial leadership and exponential growth; Amy Morin, psychotherapist, editor-in-chief at Verywell Mind, and host of the Verywell Mind Podcast; Colin O’Brady, a 10x world record holder who completed a solo trek across Antarctica; and Alex Banayan, the youngest bestselling business author in American history.
