In this video, entrepreneur and best selling author Hasan Kubba shares how an unconventional, non-linear path — from dropping out of biomedical science to building a passive-income SEO business — led him to co-author a bestselling book on success that challenges hustle culture. He breaks down the MILES framework for identifying your unfair advantages, explains why disadvantages are often double-edged swords, and offers a grounded, honest take on what it actually takes to get a traditional publishing deal without a platform.🔗 CONNECT WITH HASAN KUBBA🌐 Website: https://www.hasankubba.com📚 The Unfair Advantage: https://www.theunfairacademy.com💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/startuphasan🐦 X/Twitter: https://x.com/StartupHasanTIMESTAMPS00:00 🌟 Meet Hasan Kubba00:18 💡 The Core Idea: It's Not Just Hard Work00:54 👋 Welcome to At Work With01:19 🧒 Growing Up Shy — Hasan's Formative Years02:12 🌍 From Iraq to the UK — Cultural Expectations of Success03:28 🎓 Economics Degree — And Why Banking Wasn't the Answer05:08 😰 The Fear, Perfectionism & Procrastination Nobody Talks About07:46 💼 Getting Jobs in Sales to Light the Fire08:30 🌴 Making It Work — Passive Income and Traveling Southeast Asia10:33 📖 How the Book Idea Was Born — Meeting Co-author Ash Ali12:07 🤔 Why "Just Work Hard" Is Dangerous Advice14:18 🏆 Introducing the MILES Framework15:01 💰 M — Money (Resources at Your Disposal)15:21 🧠 I — Intelligence and Insight16:27 📍 L — Location and Luck16:49 🎓 E — Education and Expertise17:56 👑 S — Status (The Most Powerful of All)19:05 🔄 How Disadvantages Can Become Advantages20:40 🪞 Self-Awareness Is Step One22:09 💪 Double Down on Your Strengths, Not Your Weaknesses22:16 📚 Getting a Book Deal Without a Following24:37 💡 The "Idea Worth Spreading" Test for Your Book27:08 🗺️ The Map Is Not the Territory31:20 🎬 Fight Club, Office Space, and Defining Success on Your Own Terms33:23 🧔 Hasan's Dad, the Pub, and Structural Barriers to Promotion37:09 🤖 Adaptability Is the Key Skill in the Age of AI38:21 ⚡ Rapid Fire Round41:38 👨👧👦 What Hasan Will Tell His Kids About Success#atworkwith #podcast #business #entrepreneurship #unfairadvantage #advantage #success
