My guest Hasan Kubba, is a dear friend of mine who I met in London through a mutual friend and fellow podcaster Ali Abdaal. In our first meeting, I learned all about his fascinating work. We talked about his best-selling book ‘The Unfair Advantage’  which I would describe as an approach to acknowledging the unique advantages we each have, and providing a tool kit to using them in our favour. Hasan Kubba has gone from starting his business from his bedroom to becoming a best-selling author. His co-authored book won the UK's Business Book of the Year Award in 2021. Hasan has a decade of experience in personal branding, thought leadership and communication, and has been invited to the stage of a big firm to share his knowledge and expertise. He is also the co-founder of The Unfair Academy, through which he has worked with some of the biggest online influencers and businesses, providing coaching and strategy that's helped them reach millions in profit.
