Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha

After her parents' divorce, Leila Hormozi’s mother spiraled into alcoholism, forcing Leila to grow up fast. Later, when she moved into her father’s more stable home, she became an angry, rebellious teenager without direction. She partied excessively and was arrested six times in 18 months. But a heart-to-heart with her dad sparked a self-development journey that transformed her into the successful entrepreneur she has become. In today’s episode, Leila shares what she has learned about creating lasting behavioral change and becoming the person you aspire to be.
