This week on Thirty, Flirty, and Panicking, host Kelsey Murphy sits down with Maha Abouelenein — CEO of Digital & Savvy, AP Global Board Member, and author of 7 Rules of Self-Reliance — for a go-to guide to building a personal brand and simple day-to-day steps that pay off long-term. A powerhouse strategist who’s led comms for Google and Netflix in the Middle East, Maha has helped global leaders, CEOs, high-profile clients, and brands build trust and tell their stories.
This episode is a practical Self-Reliance Toolkit: how to own your story, build a reputation that compounds, and stop waiting for permission. Kelsey and Maha dig into mastering focus, turning challenges into strengths, creating value that deposits into others’ “trust banks,” and why personal brand = reputation for everyone. You’ll leave with moves to upgrade your IRL relationships, build a brand that feels authentic to you, and play the long game with clarity and confidence.
