SPIN IT: Business & Crisis Management with Stephynie Malik
About

This week on Spin It! Stephynie is speaking with Ahmad Imam, who is the definition of a jack of all trades, doing a lot of things really, really well. He’s an edutainer, content creator, speaker, social media consultant, and highly regarded social media personality.


Ahmad is a firm believer that kindness should be at the heart of all things, especially business. Ahmad was bullied throughout his childhood, and he used his experience as inspiration to build his brand on the foundation of kindness.


Today, Ahmad is sharing his expertise in personal development and entrepreneurship to his over million followers on LinkedIn using his LinkedIn Live TV shows: Level Up, Unleashed, and Rising LinkedIn Stars. 


We are so excited to talk with Ahmad about his journey, his challenges with childhood bullies and how he refused to let negativity get the best of him. Let’s dive in!
