Omar Zenhom is a teacher at heart. I never really understood that until we had this interview. Omar has a daily business podcast. It's one of the top business podcasts. It's called the $100 MBA.

It 's great. I've listened to it several times. I was always just so amazed at just the lift of having a daily podcast and doing it for years and years. He's been podcasting longer than I have.

I've been podcasting for seven or eight years, and I just can't imagine podcasting every single day. But once we dug into some of Omar's story, we got into his background as a teacher, the work of preparing lessons every day for teaching, and how that trained him. It got him into the space where he could, without as much of a heavy lift, make podcasts every day. His experience put all of his work into context for me.

I had a great conversation with Omar. We talked about everything from his childhood, growing up as a child of immigrants to the many entrepreneur pursuits that he has had along the way. It's just a really fun conversation. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did. Let's get into it.
