From the Canadian Armed Forces to building a brand in Dubai - this is Maureen Hall’s story. In this powerful and uplifting episode, Maureen reflects on her early days in the UAE, starting a business from scratch by herself, no guidebook - just grit, vision, and relentless drive. She shares what it truly means to build a brand over two decades: from choosing fabrics and sourcing suppliers herself, to eventually hiring her first part-time employee, and then growing into a full-time team. We talk about the emotional side of entrepreneurship - the doubt, the persistence, the learning curve — and her advice to anyone navigating a new business. Beyond business, Maureen opens up about how she manages stress, and her grounded approach to life. She shares timeless wisdom on staying the course, pivoting when needed, and defining success on your own terms. This episode is a must-watch for anyone building something of their own, and looking for perspective, clarity, and courage.
