Steven Bartlett Just Backed This Female Founder Maggie Sellers with a 7-Figure Strategic Investment

Video Description

We’re taught to follow the rules - the “safe path,” the “reasonable job,” the relationship that looks good on paper - but the real magic happens when you choose YOURSELF and decide to build the life YOU actually want. In this episode, I sit down with Maggie Sellers, host and founder of Hot Smart Rich, investor, creator, and unapologetic architect of her own life, to talk about walking away from the wrong engagement, betting on herself, becoming an owner (not just an employee), and building a movement that empowers women to take up space, build wealth, and own their story. We get into: ✨ The origin of Hot Smart Rich + how Maggie turned her lived experience into a globally recognized movement ✨ Leaving an engagement, losing stability, and rebuilding from absolute zero (and why it became her greatest confidence story) ✨ How to know when a relationship is “hard” in the wrong way, and when it’s simply growth ✨ Secure vs. anxious vs. avoidant attachment styles and why the right partner changes everything ✨ The power of self-belief: calling off an engagement, moving countries, and putting $150K on the line to bet on herself ✨ Creator equity, angel investing, and the new era of women building generational wealth ✨ Your greatest career advantage ✨ The burnout of traditional brand deals, and why creators need ownership ✨ Cost-per-wear vs. true ROI, and the mindset shifts that actually build wealth ✨ What healthy love feels like ✨ The moment Maggie finally felt “I am her” Connect with Maggie Sellers & Hot Smart Rich 📸 Maggie on IG: https://www.instagram.com/maggiesellersreum/ 🌐 Hot Smart Rich Website: https://hotsmartrich.com/ 📸 Hot Smart Rich on IG: https://www.instagram.com/hotsmartrich/ About Maggie Sellers Maggie Sellers is the host and founder of Hot Smart Rich, a fast-growing media and education brand dedicated to helping women build wealth, self-trust, and power.
