From Corporate Banking to Entrepreneurship with Nadia Al-Mahdi

What does it really take to build a brand from scratch? In this episode of Money Made Simple, I sit down with Nadia Al-Mahdi, a former banker turned entrepreneur, to talk about her inspiring journey of leaving the corporate world and building her own candle and lifestyle business from the ground up. Nadia shares the reality of starting alone - from finding customers and building trust, to creating a loyal community around her products. We also explore how her background in banking shaped the way she approaches business strategy, structure, and long-term growth. Beyond entrepreneurship, this conversation dives into personal growth, resilience, and the mindset required to keep moving forward while building something meaningful. This episode is for anyone thinking about starting a business, pivoting careers, or simply looking for honest insights about growth, life, and entrepreneurship.
