🏒 My Decade-Long Journey in the Corporate World

I worked for 10 years in various industries, including marketplaces,startups,and SaaS

I did it all, from marketing to customer service

But deep down, I always struggled to fit into a strict framework and conform to the hierarchy

During these 10 years, I've always had side projects while constantly tinkering on the side, from drop shipping to e-commerce

Despite the setbacks, my passion for entrepreneurship and controlling my future has never wavered

For me, being alone has never been a problem

I've always loved being in control and taking charge of my destiny

But if you're ready to do that, then leap.
