I’m Saeid Manhooei, host of The Manhooei Method, where we keep it brutally real about what moves your career forward. Each week I share unfiltered stories from my journey and the frameworks that saved me. No hustle theater. No 5 a.m. lectures. Just the playbook for getting things done through humans in an automated world.
