Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha: Entrepreneurship and Self-Improvement Podcast

Long before Yung Pueblo wrote about self-healing, he was trapped in a cycle of anxiety, scarcity mindset, and using substances to numb his emotions. Everything changed when a  10-day silent Vipassana meditation retreat helped him face the feelings he had spent years avoiding. That inner work eventually strengthened his marriage, sparked his creativity, and shaped the personal growth message he shares today. In this episode, Yung Pueblo shares how unresolved emotions affect relationships, decisions, and leadership, and how entrepreneurs can manage stress and ego rather than let them take control.

After facing major setbacks including being fired from radio and having an MTV project canceled,  she shut down her website to earn her MBA and built a corporate career.

Relationships expert Adam Lane Smith has spent more than 15 years studying how insecure attachment quietly sabotages the way people communicate, handle conflict, and connect with others—both at home and in business. These fear-based patterns can strain relationships, weaken leadership, and even drive people to seek emotional connection from AI instead of the people in their lives. In this episode, Adam breaks down the major attachment styles and explains how they influence romantic relationships and entrepreneurial leadership. He also shares how to develop secure attachment and protect real human connection in the age of AI. In this episode, Hala and Adam will discuss:  (00:00) Introduction (00:00) Secure, Anxious, and Avoidant Attachment Styles (07:19) How Childhood Shapes Your Attachment Style (13:21) How to Identify Your Attachment Style (21:35) How Attachment Shapes Business Leadership (34:44) Avoidant Attachment and High Achievement (35:55) Building Trust Through Secure Leadership (44:18) Love, Codependency, and Healthy Interdependence (50:00) Relationship Advice: Fact or Cap (56:59) Dating Apps, Attraction, and Compatibility (59:51) How Secure Couples Repair Conflict (1:08:39) Can AI Replace Human Connection?  Adam Lane Smith is an attachment specialist, author, podcast host, and TEDx speaker who translates attachment theory into practical tools for building stronger relationships. A former licensed marriage and family therapist, he has spent more than a decade studying and working with attachment and relationship dynamics. He hosts the I Wish You Knew podcast, and his work focuses on helping people create more secure, trusting relationships at home, at work, and in their communities.  Sponsored By: Indeed - Get a $75 sponsored job credit to boost your job's visibility at Indeed.com/profiting Shopify - Start your $1/month trial at Shopify.com/profiting.

As a financial educator, Morgan Housel explains why investing success depends on more than choosing the right stocks. Fear can cause investors to sell at the worst possible time, while overconfidence can lead entrepreneurs to risk everything on a single bet. The author of The Psychology of Money argues that lasting wealth comes from having enough margin for things to go wrong without losing it all. In this episode, Morgan shares how entrepreneurs can stay invested through uncertainty, balance ambition with financial security, and use money as a tool for greater freedom and independence.  In this episode, Hala and Morgan will discuss: (00:00) Introduction (01:58) Financial Systems That Outlast Your Resolutions (04:36) Balancing Saving, Spending, and Building Wealth (10:10) Investing Wisely in the Stock Market and Your Business (16:33) Financial Biases Every Entrepreneur Should Know (23:15) How Nostalgia Distorts Financial Reality (31:28) Wealth Inequality in the Social Media Era (35:28) Turning Anxiety About the Future Into Action (41:13) Why Every Generation Repeats Financial Mistakes (49:22) Lessons From Elon Musk’s Biggest Risks (53:48) Universal Laws Behind Financial Decisions  Morgan Housel is an author, investor, and partner at Collaborative Fund whose writing explores money and human behavior. He is best known for the international bestseller The Psychology of Money, which has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. His books have been translated into more than 60 languages.

She was raising two children toward adoption when a contested court battle took them from her overnight, and years later a dangerous pregnancy complication took her newborn son.

After hitting 300 pounds in college, he battled chronic fatigue, brain fog, arthritis, and pain, often forcing himself through work when he could barely think.

Scott Hickle built Throne Science around a startup idea most investors thought was too unconventional: a device that transforms your toilet into a health tracker, monitoring your health as effortlessly as a smartwatch. After nearly 100 investor rejections, he and his team kept refining the product, driven by a mission to detect early signs of diseases like colorectal cancer before symptoms appear. That persistence helped them raise $4 million in seed funding. In this episode, Scott shares how entrepreneurs can validate unconventional products, raise capital despite rejection, and build demand in a market consumers don't yet understand. In this episode, Hala and Scott will discuss:  (00:00) Introduction (01:27) How Throne’s Smart Toilet Device Works (07:56) Throne’s Mission to Detect Cancer Early (17:22) Launching Throne in a New Product Category (23:55) Pivoting Away From a Failed Nurse-Staffing Startup (32:27) How Scott Raised Millions After Pivoting (42:35) Marketing a Product Customers Don’t Understand Yet (49:46) Lessons From Scott’s Costliest Business Mistakes (1:00:03) Throne Science’s SWOT Analysis (1:08:37) Smart Toilet Costs, Pricing, and Margins (1:13:14) Building a Mission-Driven Hardware Startup  Scott Hickle is the co-founder and CEO of Throne Science, a health technology company building a device that attaches to a toilet and tracks gut health, hydration, bathroom habits, and prostate health. Before Throne, Scott and his co-founder, Tim, built a nurse-staffing marketplace called Pineway before pivoting into consumer health hardware. Throne’s long-term mission is to develop technology that can help detect early signs of colon cancer, bladder cancer, and other cancers of the lower gastrointestinal and urinary tracts.  Sponsored By: Indeed - Get a $75 sponsored job credit to boost your job's visibility at Indeed.com/profiting Shopify - Start your $1/month trial at Shopify.com/profiting.

Scott Hickle built Throne Science around a startup idea most investors thought was too unconventional: a device that transforms your toilet into a health tracker, monitoring your health as effortlessly as a smartwatch. After nearly 100 investor rejections, he and his team kept refining the product, driven by a mission to detect early signs of diseases like colorectal cancer before symptoms appear. That persistence helped them raise $4 million in seed funding. In this episode, Scott shares how entrepreneurs can validate unconventional products, raise capital despite rejection, and build demand in a market consumers don't yet understand. In this episode, Hala and Scott will discuss:  (00:00) Introduction (01:27) How Throne’s Smart Toilet Device Works (07:56) Throne’s Mission to Detect Cancer Early (17:22) Launching Throne in a New Product Category (23:55) Pivoting Away From a Failed Nurse-Staffing Startup (32:27) How Scott Raised Millions After Pivoting (42:35) Marketing a Product Customers Don’t Understand Yet (49:46) Lessons From Scott’s Costliest Business Mistakes (1:00:03) Throne Science’s SWOT Analysis (1:08:37) Smart Toilet Costs, Pricing, and Margins (1:13:14) Building a Mission-Driven Hardware Startup  Scott Hickle is the co-founder and CEO of Throne Science, a health technology company building a device that attaches to a toilet and tracks gut health, hydration, bathroom habits, and prostate health. Before Throne, Scott and his co-founder, Tim, built a nurse-staffing marketplace called Pineway before pivoting into consumer health hardware. Throne’s long-term mission is to develop technology that can help detect early signs of colon cancer, bladder cancer, and other cancers of the lower gastrointestinal and urinary tracts.  Sponsored By: Indeed - Get a $75 sponsored job credit to boost your job's visibility at Indeed.com/profiting Shopify - Start your $1/month trial at Shopify.com/profiting.
