In this episode, Mahmoud shares how he went from nearly homeless in Italy to building a six-figure agency through digital marketing.With no money and only six months to figure things out, he turned to SEO, built niche websites, and slowly generated enough income to survive. One of those websites eventually sold for $20,000, which became a turning point that gave him the confidence to scale further. He reinvested, kept building, and eventually launched Content Wish, an agency that started not from a big plan, but from client demand.He opens up about the struggles of hiring and managing people, the power of spotting value where others don’t, and how automation helped him scale without burning out. Mahmoud also shares why your energy matters more than the perfect strategy, and how a little coaching could’ve saved him years of trial and error.If you’re figuring out how to grow something real, whether you’re starting out or already in the game, Mahmoud’s story is one of those conversations that sticks with you.Let’s get into it!Episode Topics:00:00 – 00:50: Introduction 00:51 – 01:20: Origin story 01:21 – 01:54: Turning to SEO and niche websites to survive 01:55 – 02:08: Mahmoud’s first big win 02:09 – 02:38: Reinvesting profits and scaling 02:39 – 02:57: Launching ContentWish from unexpected demand 02:58 – 03:09: Integrating AI into content services 03:10 – 03:29: Biggest challenge 03:30 – 03:49: Why ContentWish was never part of the plan 03:50 – 04:10: Starting a content service without being a writer 04:11 – 04:38: Scaling quality control with editors and consultants 04:39 – 05:13: Recognizing opportunity by focusing on value 05:14 – 05:48: Identify your opportunity 05:49 – 06:39: The role of passion and energy in choosing your path 06:40 – 07:12: Advice for aspiring CMOs 07:13 – 07:47: How to approach automation 07:48 – 08:24: Measure your results with clear KPIs 08:25 – 08:53: Tools Mahmoud recommends for AI and workflow automation 08:54 – 08:58: Closing and where to connect with Mahmoud🔗 CONNECT WITH👥  https://www.linkedin.com/in/mahmoud-fathy-elsaid/💻 https://www.facebook.com/mahmoud.fathy.elsaidASK Anything on The Aspiring CMO show and get your questions asnwered right on the show!https://forms.gle/jswoQq8dy8u2oisT6
