ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Happy Mindful Monday!
In this week's episode, our host Allie Brooke sits down with Hana Malhas.
Hana is a professional singer-songwriter and a startup CFO. The combination sounds unusual until you hear her talk about why one made her better at the other.
She has released multiple albums, performed across several countries, and founded BalaFeesh, a live music platform based in Jordan, showcasing independent Arab artists. She also holds an MBA from the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business and a track record of leading finance for startups in creative and media industries.
Hana understands intellectual property the way most CFOs never will, not as a line item, but as someone who has lived inside the process of making it. She watched the music industry get turned upside down by streaming, and recognizes the same inflection point happening now in publishing.
That's why she co-founded Sinai.ai, to bring AI into the world of books in a way that respects authors, protects rights-holders, and creates sustainable new revenue for the publishing industry. But at its core, she built it for the reader who used to get lost in books the way you get lost in a great song, and wants that feeling back. Because as reading evolves, she believes we shouldn't have to choose between what's new and what matters: the craft, the legacy, and the human intimacy of books.
