Episode Description
In the third episode of The Sonder Podcast, we welcome Hasan Kubba, an award-winning author, business coach, and keynote speaker. His debut book, The Unfair Advantage, became an instant bestseller, with its refreshing concept going viral and inspiring millions.
Hasan reflects on his journey as an “unnatural entrepreneur,” transitioning from building an online business that allowed him to work as little as one hour a week to becoming a business coach for aspiring authors and content creators. He addresses the biggest misconceptions about being an author and explores the similarities between writing a book and seeking VC investment.
Drawing on the thesis of his book, he explains that hard work alone is not enough and unpacks how to identify and leverage your own "unfair advantage" using the MILES framework (Money, Intelligence, Location, Education, Status). He reveals how what may initially appear as a disadvantage can, in fact, become a distinctive advantage.
Hasan also discusses the difference between being "money rich" and "time rich," helping you determine which one aligns best with your personal goals. This episode offers practical advice and candid reflections for anyone looking to design their own path to success in their professional or creative journeys.
