Listen "112. Find Your Sunlight: Grit, Growth, and Sellable Streams with Mawi Asgedom"
Episode Synopsis
From a hut in a refugee camp to Harvard, bestselling author and social entrepreneur Mawi Asgedom shares how scarcity forged creativity, grit, and a new relationship with wealth. He walks us through his “sunlight” framework—relationships, creativity, experiences, and self-care—as the human energy source behind bold action. Mawi reveals the scrappy campaign that landed him on Oprah (and tripled his advance), the shift from one-to-one speaking to community-wide literacy initiatives, and the strategy that scaled his impact: ed-tech courses with per-student revenue and a professional team. We unpack moving from trading time for money to building sellable income streams and, later, becoming a senior-secured lender. At the core: money is just one slice of true wealth. If you need a push to reframe your model and hit your turbo button—this is it.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyLearn more at mawi.comFollow Mawi on LinkedInRead Of Beetles and Angels by Mawi AsgedomRead How $50 a Month Became $58,705 (And Why I Almost Blew It All on a Champagne-Colored Dodge Stratus)Become a real estate agent HEREHomeTeam Inspection Service is changing the way agents and clients experience home inspections.
