    The Redundancy That Changed Everything | Marisa Hyland

    In this episode, Marisa Hyland shares the journey that took her from redundancy to building her own marketing agency in Ibiza. Driven from a young age, losing her job became the unexpected turning point that pushed her to step away from the 9–5 and create something of her own. Marisa opens up about the realities behind the journey, the challenges of starting a business from scratch, what it truly takes to run an international agency, and the personal experience of building a life and career away from home. _______________________________________________________________________ Follow Marisa Hyland: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/marisa-hyland-355209175/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/marisa.jae Salt Agency Instagram - www.instagram.com/saltagency Follow Dylan Russell: LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/in/dylan-russell-b33512163/  Instagram - @_dylan_russell _______________________________________________________________________ Chapters: 00:00:00 Trailer 00: 01:32 Introduction & Background 00:10:56 University & The Marketing Module She Failed 00:19:50 Moving to Ibiza & Starting in Hospitality 00:20:59 Transition to Marketing & Office Life 00:26:20 Getting Made Redundant 00:30:26 The Decision on the Plane to Australia 00:36:00 Starting the Agency - The Process 00:40:57 Anxiety & Support Network 00:44:59 Fear of Failure & Working 90 Hour Weeks 00:48:36 Proudest Moments & Self-Growth 00:51:43 Learning Business Skills & Doing Your Own Books 00:53:32 Living Between Spain & UK - Location Freedom 00:59:42 The Future of Marketing & AI 01:04:16 Being a Female Founder 01:09:42 Long Distance Relationship & Building Together 01:14:28 Advice to 18-Year-Old Self 01:15:28 Outgrowing People, Jobs & Environments Trailer music by Anton Levin (Trailer Quartet) I will see you next week, Dylan Hosted on Acast.
