In this episode, I talk with one of the Middle East's most inspiring entrepreneurs and talent managers -- Omar Hmaidat. Omar manages the largest creators in MENA and has created one of the the fastest growing talent agency in the world.

- What is talent management and what should you expect; - Why creative content is important in anything you do;

- How to be flexible in an ever changing industry;

- How authenticity always wins;
