Hala Taha

We are running out of time.

So the one thing I want to ask you that kind of wraps this up nicely is your analogy for redwood trees.

I think this really summarizes everything very nicely.

I love that.

That is super beautiful.

So last couple of questions I ask on Young and Profiting podcast, what is one actionable thing we can do today to be more young and profiting tomorrow?

And what is your secret to profiting in life?

Amazing.

Well, thank you so much.

This is such a great conversation.

Appreciate your time.

I'm Palestinian and, you know, when I was 16 years old is when 9-11 happened.

Suddenly, it's like in one day, it's like I was an outsider.

I got rejected so much.

Like, imagine, like, literally everything I wanted to try in high school, I was denied.

Like, I wasn't Hala anymore.

That gave me, like, really thick skin where, like, I didn't care.

I tried for everything because I just figured rejection is just part of the process.

And I just got very used to it.

Then when I got to college, there was, like, Black students, Spanish students, and actually not many white students.
