Episode 7: Immigrant Entrepreneur Story

You might wonder why am I talking about the immigrant entrepreneur.  Wasn't this podcast supposed to be about female entrepreneurs?

I have been an immigrant most of my professional life. This lived experience heavily affected my career, my business, and my life choices. I can't talk about being an entrepreneur without talking about what it means to be an immigrant woman too.

As it happens, my experience is from Finland and the story is mine. But, who knows, it might have happened somewhere else too. Or it might happen completely differently for someone else.

In this episode, I talk about:

• how my immigrant identity affected my business
• personal experience dealing with immigration-based bias
• challenges of being a foreign entrepreneur in Finland
• how does it compare to be an immigrant entrepreneur in Finland vs Croatia

There are many immigrant stories out there, some more positive and sadly, some more negative than mine. I'm openly sharing my own, not to judge the country or get sympathy. We can't fix what we ignore and raising awareness of the issues immigrants sometimes face, is a step forward to fixing them, together.
