From Amazon to CEO and now My Dubai Bestie - Shweta Johri Scott

In this special episode, I have a chat with one of my Dubai best friends! Shweta is incredible! She studied at Yale, worked at Amazon and is now running her own company of the comfiest beddings in the Middle East: themidori.co/
We talk about the transition from corporate world to entrepreneurship, finding the right partner in business and in life and also how relationships evolve over time! We also share some stories about being women seen as "strong" professionally, and how we dealt with them and how we COULD have dealt with them!
