Hala Taha

Host of Young and Profiting, CEO of YAP Media

Hala Taha is the host of the #1 Education podcast, Young and Profiting. Hala has interviewed some of the brightest minds in the world such as Matthew McConaughey, Alex Hormozi, Deepak Chopra, and Grant Cardone. She’s known for her energetic stage presence and ability to captivate audiences of all sizes. In 2025, she was named one of Real Leaders’ Top 50 Keynote Speakers, a recognition of her global impact in business and leadership.

Hala started her career in radio production while in college at HOT97 on “The Angie Martinez Show.” Later, she launched an entertainment news blog site, “The Sorority of Hip Hop,” where she led an all-female team of 50 bloggers. Together they ran the popular site, interviewed celebrities, produced radio shows, hosted parties/concerts, and nearly snagged a reality TV show on MTV! 

When the blog site boom slowed down, Hala took a temporary exit from the entertainment industry to get an MBA. She has 7 years of corporate marketing experience at HP and Disney Streaming Services. She started Young and Profiting Podcast and YAP Media as a side hustle, and now has several high profile clients and over 40 employees. Hala is an expert on networking, personal branding, Linkedin marketing, side hustles, entrepreneurship and podcasting.

Hala is a Rock Star. I asked Hala to speak at our GOT conference which has seen some of the biggest and best public speakers in the world. Needless to say that this is an audience who is not easily impressed. She captivated our audience with her storytelling, vulnerability, humor, and lessons learned. She is a presence on the stage. I highly recommend you bring Hala in to speak for your next event.

“At the White Label World Expo held in NYC we had the pleasure of having Hala Taha speak on our Entrepreneurial Mindset Keynote stage. From the time Hala started her seminar she grabbed the audience’s attention very quickly. The seats were overflowing to the point we had a standing audience around her entire stage. Hala had very high energy and remained true and authentic with the audience. It was very clear to us and our attendees that Hala has true background and knowledge in her field, she is the real deal. As part of putting on the expo it is our job to ensure our audience is reached through every seminar that takes place and we can say after speaking with individuals that sat in on her session that they were beyond pleased and thrilled about having her speak. Our visitors take this learning experience pretty seriously and we were overwhelmed with the amazing feedback we received on Hala’s seminar. We definitely hope to work with Hala again in the future for shows to come and would more than 100% recommend her as an amazing addition to any show!”

“We were lucky enough to have Hala join our panel on community building for podcasters at Podcast Movement Dallas, and her insights, energy, and charisma helped to create the exact audience environment we were hoping for - her engaging speaking style clearly left an impression on everyone who attended, and we hope to work with her and the YAP team in this capacity again soon!”
