Ethiopia 🇪🇹

In this episode, you’ll meet Beza from Ethiopia.

Beza worked in the non-profit sector for most of her career, in her home country and abroad, but four years ago she stepped into the private sector. The conversation took various turns — we started talking about the green economy, then discussed why it is important to support women to grow and ended with a personal perspective.

Beza talked about one specific segment of her fight with society expectations, which we are sure, many of you listening will also recognise. At least we did.

Season 2, Episode 2:
Sonja Dakic
Serbia 🇷🇸

Sonja is a serial entrepreneur, and for her, running a business and having kids are very similar. And that is exactly what makes her story even more interesting, from the way she talks about the problem-solving and social focus of women entrepreneurs to her story about exiting her first business.

When she talked about her exit, Zoja and Maca didn’t have anything else to add, that was exactly the same way the process went on for them — so hopefully this will be useful for the ones who are going through a similar process.

Enjoy and keep rocking!
