Maggie Sellers Reum: I Was Silenced Overnight, So I Built An Empire

Maggie Sellers Reum was the number one BDR at Salesforce when her boss pulled her into a room and told her she was "smarter than she looks," and that she'd need to change the sound of her own voice to get ahead. That moment set her on her mission. Jun sits down with Maggie - founder of Hot Smart Rich, investor, startup advisor, and creator - to talk about turning rejection into fuel, why she teaches women to never settle, and why she refuses to niche down with her content. She also gets tactical about what makes a business sellable and why ownership beats the brand-deal hamster wheel. Jun and Maggie then get into hiring, delegating, and how they both use AI every single day to optimize their workflows. This conversation is for builders, creators, and anyone who’s curious about turning their content into equity.
