Hot Smart Rich with Maggie Sellers Reum

Is the “Founder Myth” lying to you? Is working from home actually hurting your career? Do tattoos matter in the corporate world? And what does it really take to make money in the creator economy?

Maggie Sellers Reum is back for episode two of her new Hot Smart Rich solo series, breaking down the career advice no one wants to tell you from why becoming a “corporate baddie” could be the smartest way to build high-value skills on someone else’s dime to whether working from home, tattoos, and workplace romances can actually keep you from getting promoted.

Maggie also dives into what’s really happening in the creator economy, how to succeed in corporate America, and the modern career playbook for making more money and building a career that lasts. Plus, she answers career and money questions directly from the HSR Angels and celebrates a major full-circle milestone: unboxing her first Goldman Sachs award.

Award-winning cosmetic doctor and founder Dr. Ewoma Ukeleghe reveals the truth about how much doctors really make, how she built her aesthetics empire, the skincare secrets that actually work on a budget, and the patients she refuses to treat. She joins Maggie Sellers Reum on this episode of Hot Smart Rich to break down money, beauty, Botox, and the aesthetics industry.

Dr. Ewoma gets real about walking away from traditional medicine when everyone around her thought she was crazy, building a career on her own terms, and why she believes inner healing is just as important as what we see in the mirror.

They get into Maggie’s questionable lip filler from a decade ago, the treatments Dr. Ewoma actually swears by, and her best skin secrets at every budget. She breaks down how to build a skincare routine that actually works, what’s worth splurging on (and what absolutely isn’t), the patients she refuses to treat, and why Botox might just be the ultimate gateway drug.

What happens when you go from cabin crew to scaling a multi-million business empire…only to lose the man who helped make it all happen?

Lorna Luxe, founder, creator, and fashion icon, joins Maggie Sellers Reum on Hot Smart Rich to break down the brutal reality of out-earning her 21-year age gap marriage, the undeniable force of “The Lorna Luxe Effect”, and scaling a multi-million dollar business while grieving her late husband, John.

Lorna pulls back the curtain on the unedited reality behind her rise: from leaving millions on the table by not monetizing her first 500K followers to turning her everyday hobbies into massive paychecks, and why she doesn't even like her Birkin anymore.
