Wearing Different Hats, in Different Spaces: Dr. Amany Sabbagh Sets the Example for a Positive Work Balance

Everything Dr. Amany Sabbagh does, she does with compassion, balance, and intention. As one of the top aesthetic physicians in Lebanon, with almost a decade of experience, Dr. Sabbagh is very well researched in her field, and careful about the information she shares and the products she uses. Nine years ago, Dr. Sabbagh began her training with Dr. Nada Soueidan, a leading pioneer in cosmetic dermatology. She has since become an attending aesthetic physician and active partner at Dr. Soueidan’s clinic NuYu MediSpa in Beirut. In her day-to-day life, she operates as an expert in two spheres: inside the clinic and outside the clinic, primarily on social media. In these two spaces she performs different, but equally critical services for her clients and followers.

In the clinic, Dr. Sabbagh is responsible for making sure that her clients receive high-quality, personalized care when they are in her hands. The entire process of treatment at NuYu revolves around the client’s unique needs, health concerns, or goals. Dr. Sabbagh is the first to speak with the clients and carefully get to know their specific case. When she isn’t helping her clients achieve their goals herself, she delegates to the highly skilled team of specialists at the clinic. She is also a manager, in the sense that she must ensure that she sends the clients to the right specialist in the areas of aesthetic medicine, nutrition, and dermatology, among others. In this way, she is able to be active in ensuring a high-quality experience for her clients, from the moment they walk through the door.

Outside of the office, Dr. Sabbagh is also striving for a high-quality experience-on social media. She has amassed over 15,000 followers on Instagram and Facebook. As they say, with great power comes great responsibility. Her thousands of followers rely on her informative and uplifting posts. Just like her position at NuYu, she wears multiple hats in order to be the best source for her followers. As a physician, she is committed to providing the most up-to-date, science-based information, and, as a person, she understands the importance of self-care and the power of seeing positive messages on social media. From beauty and nutrition tips, to the latest in cosmetic products, Dr. Sabbagh ensures that all the posts she creates and puts into the world are well-informed and compassionate.

One of her recent initiatives is hosting conversations with other beauty experts, dermatologists, and plastic surgeons in Lebanon. These weekly discussions are a means to expand the knowledge base available online and provide different perspectives on issues in the field. Most importantly, these conversations are educational and provide Dr. Sabbagh’s followers, and anyone else who tunes in, the opportunity to learn from highly qualified experts in a variety of related disciplines. So far, Dr. Sabbagh and her guests have covered anti-aging, surgeries, beauty tips, and other procedures. Much like she does at NuYu, Dr. Sabbagh delegates her social media presence to other experts when it’s beneficial to her trusted followers.

Like all physicians, Dr. Sabbagh balances her practice and her life between human connection and scientific procedures. In all aspects of her career, she promotes reliable sources of knowledge, scientific research, and expertise. However, she is also a champion of positive energy and building up self-confidence. Her infectious smile and patient voice make her approachable on both an Instagram feed and in an intimate office setting. In these ways, Dr. Sabbagh has established herself as a leading name in her field, and not only a source of knowledge, but also a positive influence for those who work with her or follow her online.

Why Derik Fay Is Becoming a Case Study in Long-Haul Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship today is often framed in extremes — overnight exits or public flameouts. But a small cohort of operators is being studied for something far less viral: consistency. Among them, Derik Fay has quietly surfaced as a long-term figure whose name appears frequently across sectors, interviews, and editorial mentions — yet whose personal visibility remains relatively limited.

Fay’s career spans more than 20 years and includes work in private investment, business operations, and emerging entertainment ventures. Though many of his companies are not household names, the volume and duration of his activity have made him a subject of interest among business media outlets and founders who study entrepreneurial longevity over fame.

He was born in Westerly, Rhode Island, in 1978, and while much of his early career remains undocumented publicly, recent profiles including recurring features in Forbes — have chronicled his current portfolio and leadership methods. These accounts often emphasize his pattern of working behind the scenes, embedding within businesses rather than leading from a distance. His style is often described by peers as “operational first, media last.”

Fay has also become recognizable for his consistency in leadership approach: focus on internal systems, low public profile, and long-term strategy over short-term visibility. At 46 years old, his posture in business remains one of longevity rather than disruption  a contrast to many of the more heavily publicized entrepreneurs of the post-2010 era.

While Fay has never publicly confirmed his net worth, independent analysis based on documented real estate holdings, corporate exits, and investment activity suggests a conservative floor of $100 million, with several credible indicators placing the figure at well over $250 million. The exact number may remain private  but the scale is increasingly difficult to overlook.

He is also involved in creative sectors, including film and media, and maintains a presence on social platforms, though not at the scale or tone of many personal-brand-driven CEOs. He lives with his long-term partner, Shandra Phillips, and is the father of two daughters — both occasionally referenced in interviews, though rarely centered.

While not an outspoken figure, Fay’s work continues to gain media attention. The reason may lie in the contrast he presents: in a climate of rapid rises and equally rapid burnout, his profile reflects something less dramatic but increasingly valuable — steadiness.

There are no viral speeches. No Twitter threads drawing blueprints. Just a track record that’s building its own momentum over time.

Whether that style becomes the norm for the next wave of founders is unknown. But it does offer something more enduring than buzz: a model of entrepreneurship where attention isn’t the currency — results are.
