Midwest House Summit speaker Umama Kibria was featured in Inc. Magazine yesterday and then doubled down on the prestige by doing an interview for our Substack this morning.
Check the link the in bio to hear all about the Play community she’s built in Chicago, how she got here (40 strangers from the internet in Atlanta, 400 gyms, a pandemic gut-punch, and a comeback) and what she’s planning for December:
“Get ready to play. This is an interactive content lab where you’ll learn the skill of creating content and telling your story, and then you’ll put it into action right then and there. No theory, no talking at you. Get ready to whip out your phone. In the first exercise, you’ll record a video to your future self about your why. We’ll get down to why you’re telling your story, what story you’re telling, and how to tell it.
It’s a super tactical, interactive workshop. You’ll work on yourself, and you’ll also work in small groups with people who share your goals and ambitions. What we’ve learned through Play is that the best way to connect with other people, and with yourself, is to learn a new skill: be a little vulnerable, ask questions, fail, experiment. We’re bringing that spirit of experimentation. You’re going to make some very bad videos, and you might leave with one winner. But the biggest win is that you’ll walk out with a tactical strategy you can actually deploy. “
We’re ridiculously excited about his one.
