CEO of Trivium, HRDWRK, and CogNuro, Mina Elias @egyptian_prescription_elias, shares his journey on how he went from feeling like a prisoner in the corporate world to becoming a seven-figure Amazon Seller. Originally from Egypt, Mina talks to me about his move to the USA to finish school, how he started his successful supplement company, and how he now helps other brands scale profitably on Amazon.
