Unlock Your Potential with Jeff Lerner

In this episode of Unlock Your Potential, I sit down with Suneera Madhani, a trailblazing entrepreneur who turned a simple idea into a billion-dollar company.

As the daughter of immigrants, Suneera shares her journey of overcoming rejection, dealing with comparison culture, and navigating misogyny in business—all while building an empire from the ground up.

She reveals the Freedom Formula, the most valuable currency for entrepreneurs, and explains how to design a business that gives you true freedom. Plus, we dive into what happens after selling a billion-dollar company, the inspiration behind her new venture Worth AI, and why she created CEO School to empower the next generation of leaders.
