The Formula Rhode & Skims Use To Win (and how you can do it too!) Shopify President Mar 25, 2026

Show notes

Why is Hailey Bieber’s Rhode a $1B empire while other celebrity brands feel like "cash grabs"?

Shopify President, Harley Finkelstein, breaks down the elite playbook behind Rhode, Skims, Kylie Cosmetics, Gymshark, and Chamberlain Coffee. From the “9 Person Rule” (why your friends are keeping you broke) to the “3,872 Books” email hack that caught Gary Vee’s attention, Harley explains how the world's most successful founders actually think!

No more waiting for a sign, a mentor, or 'perfect' timing. The cost of entry is $39 and a 'stupid' idea that you’re finally brave enough to start. The golden age of entrepreneurship is here - don't let it happen without you!

Along the way, she shares hard lessons about leadership, relationships, and why sometimes being called a “b*tch” is the price of protecting your vision and building something truly for women, by women.

The #1 Dating Rule That Will Change Your Life (and save months of heartbreak with Sabrina Zohar) Feb 12, 2026

Show notes

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: They Called Me A 'Trophy Wife' (Here Is How I Proved Them Wrong!) Feb 04, 2026

Show notes

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.
