Join me in this podcast as I talk to my friend and one of my hairstylists, Carla Ortiz, as we talk about how she became a business owner and entrepreneur. She's a single mom of three amazing kids, and we talked about how she made the decision in her mid twenties to become a cosmetologist and hair stylist. Carla heard people tell her she shouldn't go for it, but she defied all odds, and became a successful hair stylist. If you're following your passion, that's all that should matter. 

I'm excited about this episode because Carla gives us all some amazing golden nuggets and invaluable information that you need to hear if you want to own your own business, or follow your passions. This is what we talk about when we look at amplifying our potential! If you want to follow Carla and see her work, please go to https://www.instagram.com/hairtalk22/

If you're in the San Fernando Valley (Sylmar/Porter Ranch), and want to get your hair done or need any advice, you can message her on IG (linked above). Carla's located in The Beauty Lab.

Hey everyone, welcome back to my next episode with my long time friend, award winning journalist, Tania Rashid. 

Tania and I talk about many different areas in this episode and I ask her what was the biggest lesson she learned through her travels to Bangladesh and other countries where she was reporting on human rights violations that had been occurring, and she said, "human resilience." You have to hear the rest of the episode where we talk about what this means and why human resilience. 

We also talk about being Muslim and being Brown - how does this affect the way we live in society, especially with our own people who expect us to live according to their norms. 

P.S. Please don't mind our voices kinda going in and out at times....although my Internet was strong, there were still some issues with Internet connectivity. 

If you want to know more about Tania Rashid and the stories she's uncovered, and the documentaries she's done, please reach out to her at https://www.taniarashid.com. You can also find her on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/taniarashid/

Hey everyone! Welcome back to the second episode of my podcast. I'm honored to introduce you to my friend, Gracie Ruth Melendez to the show. Today, we're talking about using LinkedIn to build relationships. This is important because we use social media quite a bit, and depending on what we need to get done, we must connect with others online. I met many of my good friends online, and then we built a relationship and quickly took that offline to meet up for coffee, lunches, dinners, and do business masterminds. During the pandemic especially, we were using LinkedIn and other social media quite a bit to connect with one another, setting virtual coffee dates on Zoom, and more. Once we were able to finally start meeting in person again, that's what we did. I met some amazing people in this manner! 

So join me and Gracie as we discuss how we can build relationships on LinkedIn (things I'm still learning as well) and how to engage on posts, when to send messages, and when to post our posts to get the most engagement. Gracie is a LinkedIn coach and shows clients how to use LinkedIn to find clients and make sales through relationship building.

Hey everyone, thanks so much for tuning in to the first episode of my brand new podcast, called Amplify Your Potential with me, your host, Dr. Aasiyah Ghazi. Welcome to the show! I'm going to have some amazing guests and I can't wait to bring conversations that are though provoking, and full of golden nuggets. 

I created this podcast because I want to learn from others who want to magnify their capabilities as leaders and humans. Improving ourselves, being a better version of ourselves, working on ourselves, overcoming impostor syndrome and gaining more confidence in ourselves is the tip of the iceberg. I'm looking to dive deeper with my guests, to understand the impact of the choices we make, how to build better relationships with others, open up to the opportunities that surround us, and become one within our highest selves. All of this leads to the development of our leadership identities, so this podcast was created for these reasons. For me to learn from you, and for us to learn from each other as we grow into version 2.0 of ourselves, 1% at a time.
