Welcome to The Creative Hustle, where I explore the world of creative entrepreneurship with a special focus on the UAE and GCC region. This podcast was born from the vibrant, thriving creative scene in the region, and the pressing need to talk about the unique challenges and opportunities shaping this space. Now more than ever, as the creative economy is gaining momentum, it’s time to spark conversations about what it really takes to thrive in this dynamic field.
Together, we’ll delve into issues like balancing creativity with financial stability, navigating uncertainty and fostering sustainability, while drawing from my personal experiences in launching ventures, hustling projects, and attempting to balance everything else in between! Whether you’re a seasoned creative or just starting out, join me in uncovering the human stories and transformative ideas behind creative entrepreneurship.
