She is the CEO of Digital and Savvy, a strategic communications consulting firm with offices in the States and Dubai. Maha is the author of 7 Rules of Self-Reliance: How to Stay Low, Keep Moving, Invest in Yourself and Own Your Future*. One of the definitions of the word currency in Merriam-Webster's dictionary is, “General use, acceptance, or prevalence.” All of us want to be both accepted and prevalent in the work we get to do. In this conversation, Maha and I discuss how your reputation is perhaps the most important currency of all. Key Points Personal brand isn't about self promotion, it's about leadership. Rather than promoting yourself, promote the ideas that you stand for. Reputation is currency. It's the only thing you truly own and its value comes from how other people perceive it. Sometimes it's the right move to take a job to earn. It's also important to take jobs to learn. Knowing what you stand for is key, but this doesn't come overnight. We all make missteps. What's often more remembered is how you respond. Apologize and have empathy when things go wrong.

The Daughters of Izdihar (Harper Voyager, 2023), like last year's A Master of Djinn, is set in a world similar to Egypt, during the time of the suffragette movement. American-Egyptian author Hadeer Elsbai has chosen to focus even more on social justice issues, through her two main characters, rich spoiled girl Nehal, and struggling bookworm Giorgina. Both have magical powers, as well as an interest in women's rights, but while Giorgina's poverty and traditional father make her susceptible to intimidation, Nehal has grown up feeling entitled and being allowed to express her opinions. However, when Nehal is forced into marriage, and bristles at needing her husband's permission to enroll in a school to train magicians, she starts to realize that even wealth and status can't make up for the subservient status of women. Nehal and Giorgina become unlikely allies, brought together both through their politics and their proximity to Nico, Giorgina's husband. Hadeer studied history at Hunter College and later earned her Master's degree in library science from Queens College. Aside from writing, Hadeer enjoys cats, iced drinks, live theater, and studying the 19th century. She is also a gigantic A Song of Ice and Fire nerd, having read George R.R. Martin's books before the show. The series remains a constant inspiration. You can follow Gabrielle on Twitter to get updates about new podcasts and more @GabrielleAuthor.

Book Vs Movie Podcast “Call Me by Your Name” (Replay) The 2007 Andre Aciman novel Vs the 2017 Luca Guadagnino Film   The Margos are feeling 80s and dreamy with this episode talking about Call Me by Your Name.

Elio is open about his bisexuality and is immediately attracted to Oliver--to the point he can’t seem to focus on anything but their common Jewish ancestry and Oliver’s possible interest in him.
