How to Create Door-Stopper Opportunities - Moment #1 Ft. Nickie Shobeiry

Power of Why with Naomi Haile

In this clip of The Power of Why, Nickie Shobeiry and I discuss the power of creating ‘door stopper’ moments—projects that open doors and create opportunities. Nickie shares how producing a short film allowed her to connect with agents, public figures, and the Iranian community in a whole new way, leading to speaking gigs on Farsi-language radio, roles at major Iranian festivals, and more. She describes this film as a way of saying, ‘I’m here; this is my voice. Let’s work together.’ It’s a powerful reminder to rally around your community, create your own opportunities, and leverage your work to build lasting connections.
