But here’s the other side of the story 👇 We just won TWO awards: 🏆 The Perfect Score Award at INDIE PaC - based purely on ORBIT data measuring audience influence!! 🏆 The Noura Erakat Award for Palestinian Excellence in Audio Storytelling at NYC Podcast Awards Still processing this. Because this didn’t start polished… It started with: – Carrying equipment on the train – Recording in closets (and yes… even a bathroom once) – Working until 2am, weekends included– Showing up every week no matter what And most importantly… People believed before there was anything to show. 20 volunteers worked for FREE for 2 years. That’s how this was built. So if you’re in the messy phase right now… Keep going. To every creator, entrepreneur or podcaster reading this: You don't need permission. You just need a mission to help others, people who believe in you, and the will to keep going, even when you don't know if anyone is listening… They're listening. 🎙️ Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey 🙏🏼 Appreciate every single one of you in this community ...

Hey YAP Fam! I’m curious… what’s one skill you’re focusing on improving next week? Whether it’s something big like mastering AI or perfecting your time management, I want to hear about it! For me, I’m 100% focused on AI and setting up my "second brain." I'm organizing my task system where my inbox and Slack are monitored for tasks twice a day, so I stay on top of things. Plus, I can give AI voice directions to draft responses to emails, and I just tweak the drafts in my inbox. It’s massively improved my productivity. As a busy CEO, training a new Chief of Staff has been a challenge, but this AI setup has honestly been a lifesaver! Let’s all share our goals and hold each other accountable 💪 Drop yours below! 👇

If you’re building a business, brand, or audience… this is a conversation you need to hear. One of the biggest traps in entrepreneurship is thinking: “I’ll be happy when I hit the next milestone.” More revenue. More downloads. More recognition. In my conversation with Arthur Brooks, a happiness researcher and professor at Harvard Business School, we talked about something that hit hard: At the peak of his career, after massive success, he still felt anxious and unfulfilled. From the outside, everything looked impressive. Inside? Something was off. That’s when he realized success and happiness aren’t the same thing. In this YAP Classic, we break down: • The three “macronutrients” of happiness • Why social comparison is especially dangerous for creators • The four pillars of a fulfilling life • How to regulate emotions while building at a high level • Why temporary unhappiness can actually fuel long-term growth Arthur later co-authored Build the Life You Want with Oprah Winfrey, but what makes this episode powerful isn’t the credentials. It’s the reminder that you can scale your income without sacrificing your inner life. If you’re serious about building long-term… this conversation will help you make sure you’re not sacrificing fulfillment in the process. 🎥 Watch the full episode on YouTube 🎧 Listen on Apple Podcast 🎧 Stream on Spotify As a creator or entrepreneur, do you feel like your happiness is tied to your metrics?
