    Photographer to the Stars - Lorenzo Ajius

    Mastering the Camera 📸  There are some conversations that feel less like interviews and more like creative alignment. My first guest after the rebrand of Style Moguls is internationally acclaimed portrait photographer Lorenzo Agius the man behind some of the most iconic cultural images of our generation. From the legendary Trainspotting portraits to photographing figures such as Madonna, Kate Winslet, Brad Pitt, Lionel Richie, Valentino and cultural icons across film, fashion and music, Lorenzo’s work has shaped the visual memory of an era. What fascinated me most was not celebrity but it was humanity. In this episode, we explored: • confidence on camera • the psychology of portraiture • presence versus style • creativity and trust • how great photographers make people feel seen • his first paid client, Lionel Richie • stories behind Jack Nicholson, Valentino and iconic shoots One of the most beautiful things about podcasting is that sometimes social media connects you to people your soul already recognises. Earlier this year, I was in Dubai and a conversation began through admiration of someone’s work and today that conversation becomes Episode 101. I go where conversations take me and this conversation reminded me that behind every iconic image is trust, curiosity and human connection. Big Love & Blessings, Maryum xx You can contact Lorenzo Ajius on his website :- www.lorenzoajius.com

    I HIT A CENTURY | 100 Episodes of Style Moguls Podcast

    I HIT A CENTURY | 100 Episodes of Style Moguls Podcast. What does it really take to reach 100 episodes?I hit a century and if you understand cricket you will know it is never just about the number. It is about discipline resilience and belief especially when things do not go your way. There was a moment where I almost lost my podcast completely. The platform went bankrupt and years of work did not carry over. People told me to move on but I knew what I wanted and that mattered more than anything else. Reaching one hundred episodes is not just about consistency it is about showing up fully even when it is not easy.Podcasting for me has never just been about content. It is about connection collaboration and community.My 100th episode brought all of that together with my first live audience my first live stream and two incredible guests on one stage.A special thank you to Denise Horne and John Lee for being part of this milestone. To everyone who has supported this journey thank you your support means everything. Here's to the next 100 ! Big Love & Blessings Maryum x

    Start Your Podcast - Do This First

    Personal Branding & Podcasting in 2026 with Maryam Sharif The first episode of the Just Inspire Podcast, host Justin interviews Maryam Sharif, a former BBC showbiz reporter turned personal branding expert and Style Moguls founder, about being intentional with visibility in 2026 through personal branding and podcasting. Maryum Sharif defines personal branding as self-defining the human behind the business beliefs, values, narrative, and authenticity especially important amid AI. She emphasises three non-negotiables: show up digitally and physically, know your purpose and point of view, and own your platforms with a clear message for a specific audience. She advises beginners to stop overthinking, start creating, experiment (especially in the first 10 podcast episodes), improve in small increments, and build trust through research, active listening, and natural conversation. Her key life advice is self-belief, turning fear into excitement, and finding supportive communities to help you be seen. Big Love & Blessings Maryum xx
