• Hayley Paige: What I Wish I Knew Before My Name Became The Brand (it almost cost me everything) 27.05.2026 1ώ 25λ

  Wedding dress designer Hayley Paige sits down with Maggie Sellers Reum to talk about contributing to a $220M bridal brand, that challenged her identity, and her fight to win back the right to use her own name! Before Hayley became one of bridal fashion’s most recognisable names, she was a young designer signing what looked like her dream contract. Years later, that same opportunity turned into a legal battle that left her unable to use her own name commercially, forced her to hand over her social media passwords, and stripped her of the identity she had spent years building. Hayley opens up about the contract mistake she wishes more women understood, why she paid $263,000 to buy back her name and IP, and how money gave her the freedom to escape one of the hardest chapters of her life!  They also get into modern wedding trends, Gen Z brides, Vogue weddings, coloured dresses, Taylor Swift’s dream dress, and the Bad Bunny Super Bowl bride moment.

  AI is rewriting entrepreneurship - and Cat Goetze quietly used it to build a $750K business in just 6 months. Maggie and Cat Goetze (AI expert and Physical Phone founder) unpack what really happened when she used AI to create and scale her business - including the exact prompts she used and the specific AI models she still relies on. They dive into fake influencers, AI flooding social media, and whether 2026 could be a breaking point for creators.

• The #1 Dating Rule That Will Change Your Life (and save months of heartbreak with Sabrina Zohar) 12.02.2026 1ώ 14λ

  Sabrina Zohar breaks down what’s really driving modern dating, from the pressure for instant certainty to anxious attachment, avoidance, and burnout. She explores how trauma shapes attraction, why great chemistry (or sex on the first date) doesn’t equal compatibility, and how modern dating dynamics can dysregulate the nervous system. Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, and her own journey from heartbreak to building a multi-million-dollar business featured on Shark Tank, Sabrina shares practical tools for setting boundaries, trusting yourself, and dating with intention - without losing your ambition.

  Valeria Lipovetsky signed a prenup at 21 and navigated an 18-year age-gap marriage. She reveals how she turned her real-life story into content, building a media empire reaching over 150M people each month. Maggie and Valeria explore how early conversations around marriage, money, and independence shaped the way Valeria built her career - and ultimately led to the creation of Creator Method, her framework for helping creators turn content into sustainable businesses. Valeria breaks down what successful creators do differently to last long-term: using vulnerability with intention, navigating public judgement, and growing with the support of their community. She also reflects on how failure, missteps, and knowing when to pivot played a key role in everything she’s built.

• Selling My $22M Company Didn’t Fix My Life…It Exposed Everything Wrong With It 14.01.2026 1ώ 16λ

  Jaclyn Johnson built her company, Create & Cultivate, from nothing - and later sold it for a $22 million exit!  But life changed completely when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2025. The success she worked for left her burned out, depressed, and forced to start over. What followed was a total reset. Divorce. Moving cities alone. Hiring a dating coach. Rebuilding her identity at 40… Today, Jaclyn has successfully bought her original business back, has launched 2 more and continues her work as a longtime angel investor, having backed and championed female founders throughout her career. She reveals how she spots winning startups, why staying bootstrapped was her biggest business mistake, and how money changed the way people treated her. Jaclyn Discusses:  Your Body Keeps the Receipts: How her breast cancer diagnosis made her realise health is her real wealth and what she wishes she’d understood earlier. Reinventing Yourself: How she rebuilt her identity at 40 and how you can do the same when the life you’ve built no longer fits.
