E56: From $500 and a suitcase to COO

from The Unstoppable 5%

Marlené Brewis (Marms Hope) landed in Dubai with $500, a suitcase, and no job. She was sleeping on a friend's sofa with no idea what came next. This is the first time Marms has shared her full story publicly. We talk about growing up as the unwanted child, the husband who isolated her, the moment she said yes to the divorce, working 22-hour days while the company crumbled, being nearly homeless, and what it takes to keep choosing yourself when life keeps testing you. If you've ever felt like the outsider or you're standing on the edge of your next big leap, this one's for you.
