The Secret of how to get your Dream Job - with David Rock, VaynerMedia
Today I am really excited to share my conversation with a very special guest. He is the embodiment of hard work, resilience, and relentlessness. He is the very proof that in this world, having those traits always wins, no matter what. That winning means, enjoying the process without caring about other people’s opinions. That no matter how your odds are from the day you were born, whether it is like in his case with a physical disability that required over 13 surgeries or within extremely humble means, you can always live your dream. Yes, this is a real-life story and not a cliche or fairytale.  His name is David Rock, and he is the Executive Creative Director of Vayner Media, which is one of the most successful contemporary media and branding companies whose CEO and Chairman is nonother than Mr. Gary Vaynerchuk. In this very up close and personal interview, David (to many known as “Drock”), shares his inside story of what it took him to land a job with Gary Vee after having worked as a freelance videographer, to now being his right-hand and Director of Creative at Vayner Media. But this is not where it stops for him. As he tells us himself, he is a dreamer at heart. Currently, he has his hands in much bigger projects and claims that at age 31, his work has not even begun yet. So listen in and for those of you who are in the creative department and want to learn about best practices in social media and branding, make sure you listen till the very end.Tweet me @realdrhamrah

How Passion and Determination Superseeds All Odds - Dr. Rania Habib

How Passion and Determination Superseeds All Odds - Dr. Rania Habib
Today I want to welcome my next guest, who like many of my previous guests is an inspiration and role model to many people. As if growing up as a minority and daughter to Egyptian parents in Texas and Minnesota wasn’t hard enough, she chose a career path dominated by men and also known to be owned by the “old boys club” in the United States. Choosing to become a doctor and on top of it, a surgeon comes with a lot of sacrifices and traditionally our society has been discouraging women to enter the field. Kind of an outdated vision if you ask me, but so it was for Dr. Rania Habib, who is currently an instructor at the University of Pennsylvania, School of Dental Medicine, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. To many known as a male-dominated field (for context, only about 8% of all OMS’s are female), she did not shy away from the challenge and followed her passion and since never looked back. Her passion for treating children in need, lead her to pursue additional training in Pediatric Craniofacial Surgery, and today she teaches young students at the University and inspires many more through her social media channels on Instagram and TikTok, just like she was inspired by her own parents and many of her mentors. She is a great example of how well parenting and mentorship cultivates your passion, motivates you to reach for the sky and ultimately leads to success. In a society where we are so quick to blame lack of opportunity, bad influence from the outside, or demonize social media, we have forgotten to hold ourselves accountable for our own actions, successes, and failures. While most people get caught up in pontificating and thinking about what they want to do or better even, think about thinking, until they find 10 reasons why they won’t be able to succeed, the Ranias out there just go out there and do it. They don’t look for excuses and instead look for solutions to their problems keeping only one goal in mind, follow your passion, no matter what the odds say. I always tell people, if you know only one person that has done it, that means you can do it too. Period!So listen in and hopefully her story will inspire you as it has inspired me.Tweet me @realdrhamrah
"Fall Down Once, Get Up Twice!" with Entrepreneur Hamid Hamrah

"Fall Down Once, Get Up Twice!" with Entrepreneur Hamid Hamrah
I am very honored and proud to announce today’s guest who not by accident holds the same last name as myself. He happens to be my dear cousin and someone I admire for not only what he achieved in the past 20 years, but more importantly, how he has achieved it. Whenever we look at successful people, we tend to see and judge them by what they have achieved and who they have become. What no one ever talks about is, how they achieved their success. The struggles and adversities they had to overcome. The painful sacrifices they had to make. Sometimes, you can’t make a rational decision and have to follow your intuition and simply trust the process and have faith in your abilities. Hamid is the perfect example of how his passion and perseverance to achieve his long-term goals, also called “grit”, led him to his success today at the very young age of 45 years. The best part is that this is just the beginning of his career.In this podcast interview with me, he gives us an up-close and personal view into his life leading to his success today. Many times facing almost impossible hurdles and hitting brick walls right after a successful run, losing it all, and starting up from scratch. It’s not how you fall, it’s about how you get up and make a comeback! To me, that’s simply “grit”. It’s not having a plan B and not taking failure as an option. What is most inspiring to me is that he did all of it his way. When he went to college his parents expected him to become a doctor, a stereotype exception and almost demand of parents of certain cultures. Anything less, would not be acceptable or “good enough”. Despite all the pressure of his parent's expectations, Hamid chose to follow his own passion, which was finance and business. Knowing that he was now on his own, while in college, he started his entrepreneurial journey by selling vacuum cleaners door to door and soon enough realized that he is a natural salesman and was making thousands of dollars a month in only a very short period of time. To him, it was this very experience that gave him the self-confidence to continue his personal path to success. Today, Hamid Hamrah is the Senior Vice President of the Midwest Region with New American Funding which is one of the largest privately-owned direct mortgage lending companies in the nation.As the Senior VP of 21 offices, Hamid's region has out originated several other mortgage companies in MO, IL, KS, IA, IN, AR, NE, OH, and OK. From starting out closing around a 40million dollars of business when he started, last year he surpassed 1.6 billion dollars in only his 3rd ear with the company. After starting his first branch with only 2 people, Hamid now has a staff of over 180 employees. Like all of his success wasn’t already enough, and when many others would now relax and rest on their laurels, last year his entrepreneurial aspirations and a strong sense of business opportunity led him to venture out and starting up his cannabis business named “Root66” in St. Lois, MO area and is now opening up his third store in Missouri already. So for all of you who think success comes easy and has to do with luck, please listen to his story, and maybe you will have a better appreciation of what it takes to rise to the top. What I can tell you though is, it sure doesn’t happen overnight! Tweet me @realdrhamrah

For Darren, the definition of success is the ability to become the best version of himself, referring to the “Mamba Mentality” of late basketball legend, Kobe Bryant. As a former College Basketball player, Darren’s competitive drive and relentlessness are only a few of his positive attributes and reasons for his success.
