In this episode of Beyond the Business Card, host Justin McGuire, entrepreneur, founder of MCG Talent, and creator of 7-Figure Recruitment, sits down with Amara Javed, founder and managing director of Seamlify – one of Dubai’s fastest-rising boutique social media agencies. Amara opens up about her journey, from growing up between the U.S. and Pakistan, navigating life post-9/11, to building her agency from scratch during COVID, with no funding and zero clients. 💡 In This Episode, You’ll Discover: • How she boldly landed her first major client through a cold DM. • The grind of bootstrapping a social media agency in a post-pandemic world. • The lessons she learned from toxic work environments, and how she built the opposite. • What it’s really like managing cash flow, salaries, and growth in a boutique business. • Her vision for Seamlify’s future and why she’s still in it every single day.
