Dragons’ Den Entrepreneur & Nuba Tisane Co-Founder [with her mom Amal!] Gina El Kattan talks about moving from Egypt to Oakville, jumping right into Business studies at University of Toronto, the lockdown power of the Clubhouse social networking app, FINALLY listening to her Dad’s plea to audition for Dragons’ Den, what REALLY happens during DD taping [no do-overs!], working on her MBA at Duke University, sneaking into Coach K’s final basketball game at Cameron Indoor Stadium, the challenge of self-applying winged eyeliner, the gratification of her DD episode airing nationally AND first Loblaws order coming in on the SAME day, why she broke her decade-long streak of attending TIFF, and her THREE pieces of advice for aspiring entrepreneurs!
