Hot Smart Rich with Maggie Sellers Reum

Confidence coach & behavioral researcher, Dr. Shadé Zahrai, reveals 4 mindset shifts to stop self-doubt, build confidence, and own any room!

Why do some women walk in and get taken seriously instantly, while others overthink every move, over-apologise, and shrink themselves at work? 

Maggie and Dr. Shadé unpack the hidden habits holding ambitious women back, the psychology behind “Lucky Girl Syndrome,” and why high-achieving women still struggle with self-worth. From speaking with authority to asking for more at work, this conversation is a masterclass in becoming the woman who stops second-guessing herself and starts being seen, heard, and respected!

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!

Vivian Tu (@YourRichBFF) sits down with Maggie for some unfiltered girl talk about the Wall Street lessons that led her to walk away from a $625K job and build a $7M media empire - and to talk about her new New York Times bestselling book, Well Endowed!

She breaks down her proprietary 5-step STRIP method for ambitious women who want to build wealth, create generational security, and rethink what it really means to be “filthy rich.” From the dating questions you should ask to get “financially naked” with a partner, to knowing when to stay in your job and when to make your next move, Vivian shares a practical blueprint for taking control of your money and building a life on your own terms.

Krissy Cela (Founder of Oner Active & EvolveYou) opens up about scaling a $190M business — and why she refuses to build her brand around men.

From being homeless to building one of the fastest-growing female-founded brands in athleisure, Krissy explains the “immigrant mentality” that still keeps her in fight-or-flight mode, why she hired her mentor as CEO, and the 6-step rebrand that transformed her from fitness creator into a high-performance founder.

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.

Chriselle Lim (Founder of PHLUR & "Rich Mom" on TikTok) opens up about the raw reality of her divorce, the alimony story nobody believed, and the financial lessons she wishes she knew before getting married.

From building a 250,000-person waitlist for Missing Person to navigating a messy public split, Chriselle shares how she turned heartbreak into business momentum. She explains why prenups are about protection (not distrust), how women can take control of their finances, and what no one tells you about the legal realities of marriage and money.
