Yap with Hala Taha dissects all things entrepreneurship

🎧 Aspiring entrepreneur? Running a decade-old business that’s hit a plateau? Struggling to scale your startup? Whatever stage you’re at, the questions on your mind are likely to have answers on Young and Profiting (Yap) with Hala Taha. Now in its eighth year, the long-running podcast offers a deep well of practical insight and motivation for both early-career and long-serving entrepreneurs.

What to expect: Yap’s episodes center on gains and how to always work towards growing yours. In one- to two-hour interviews, Palestinian-American entrepreneur Hala Taha sits down with founders, executives, influencers, and industry leaders who have been in the game long enough to give grounded career advice, wellness and mindset guidance, and the most significant lessons they’ve learned along the way. CEOs and celebrities like Mel Robbins, Matthew McConaughey, Alex and Leila Hormozi — alongside many more — are among the roster of successful entrepreneurs that Yap features.

The lucrative business of books: In one recent episode, Taha speaks to SelfPublishing.com founder Chandler Bolt about his decade-long bootstrapped business that demystifies the idea that book royalties are the only way authors can make money. Bolt explains the services that his business offers — ranging from branding, marketing, writing coaching sessions, all the way to ghostwriting services — and how his USD 10 mn company has helped many authors increase revenue through branding, capture new clients and leads from publishing, and reframe their ideas around best-selling books.

What we liked: Taha is a lively host, chiming in with her own experience and insight during interviews. The episodes are packed, allowing for deep dives into how a guest’s business operates, personal career insights, breakdowns of the most real-life advice listeners can apply themselves, and enough time for some fun banter to keep things engaging. Our one drawback, however, was the constant five-minute ad breaks throughout that made for a somewhat restless listening experience for us.

Our verdict: While some guests and companies spotlighted on the show can feel generic, and conversations sometimes leaned heavily toward ROI-focused advice, other episodes proved more eye-opening and genuine. Regardless of the occasional hit-or-miss guests, Yap with Hala Taha remains a not-to-miss, valuable listen for anyone with entrepreneurial aspirations. If you can spare an hour, tune into an episode and you’ll find plenty of advice worth applying to your own journey.
