    EO Series #18 - When Art Meets Business: Building a Furniture Empire in Dubai - Tini Meyer

    Ever wondered how to seamlessly blend art and business? Tini Meyer's journey from artist to top contract furniture supplier in Dubai is a masterclass in creativity and entrepreneurship. 🎨 My guest for this conversation is Tini Meyer, who has found a way to mix art and business so aesthetically. What I learned from her during this conversation is how to set a good foundation first before trying to grow the business. She emphasized the need to "nail it before you scale it" and shared her approach to making strategic pivots and taking calculated risks. In 2009, Tini moved to Abu Dhabi to establish an artist studio residency center. In 2012, she co-founded interior360 as a boutique home furnishing store, which then pivoted to contract furniture. She started her business by importing designer furniture and home objects. But with the one-off nature of the products and the customization requests from clients, she realized that her business model might not be sustainable. Instead of giving up and packing her bags, she pivoted the business to focus on supplying furniture to hotels and restaurants in 2015. 🏨 Now, interior360 has become one of the largest contract furniture suppliers in Dubai, having delivered over 900 restaurant and hotel projects throughout the GCC. Over the years, Tini has expanded her business to include in-house manufacturing and has recently gone vertical, now supplying cleaning materials made by a company that's been around for 100 years. 🛋️✨ In this episode, Tini and I discussed: 00:00 Introduction ▶️ 05:25 How she juggles business responsibilities while raising a family 👩‍👧‍👦 31:49 The early mistakes she made and the lessons learned 📘 27:09 Strategies for building a strong workplace culture 🏢 34:29 Recognizing and seizing opportunities in diverse industries 🌐 1:07:52 Why there's no room for complacency in her team 🚫 1:21:29 The art of blending creativity with business acumen, and much more! 🎨💼 I've been so lucky to have found such humble superstars that should be heard about more, and Tini is definitely on that list! As always, there was no pretense, no academic business jargon, just pure passion for the way she molds her business and keeps it going and growing. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did. Without much further ado, here’s Tini Meyer, on the EO Series of the My First Business Podcast. 🎙️ -- This episode is brought to you by ⁠Entrepreneur’s Organization – Dubai.⁠ The organization also offers a mentorship program that pairs members with experienced business leaders who can provide guidance and support as they grow their businesses.

    EO Series #15 - Taxation, Thought Capitalism and Consciousness - Divakar Vijayasarathy

    “Your own self-belief is your investment.” What I loved about Divakar the most is that I can safely say, he is on another level. His feet are firmly planted on the ground, yet his brain processes things from the view of a satellite orbiting the earth. In 2007, Divakar was an esteemed banker and had one of the best jobs in India - but he felt his curiosity draining every single day. He felt like the walls of knowledge were closing on him. He couldn’t stand having his thoughts constrained by artificial barriers. The banker turned ex-banker, and founded DVS Advisory group, which designs tax structures for entrepreneurs, SMEs & funded startups to enter India, expand globally from India or exit India, with zero penalties & 100% clarity. Divakar uses his business as his laboratory: he uses it to ideate, experiment, and build new products, services and models. You’ve probably seen him around - he’s a Forbes Advisor, has over 500 media publications and quotes and is also author of 15+ books on Direct & International Taxation. In this captivating conversation, Divakar and I dive deep into the concept of thought capitalism – a revolutionary approach to understanding and navigating the complexities of the modern economic landscape. We also explored other topics like: 00:00 ▶️ Introduction 06:14 🤔 Two kinds of capitalism: thought capitalism and currency based capitalism 12:43 ✨ Difference between perceived and actual reality 16:20 🧾 How to predict a country’s tax laws by just observing their traffic jams 32:29 🇮🇳 Why everyone should pay attention in India 1:00:02 👛 Enlarging your psychological wallet 1:03:22⚡ How energy is currency 1:05:25 ✍️ The compounding effect of intention 1:08:50 💭 Why poverty is possibly just a state of mind 1:21:24👫🏽 Working with your spouse 1:33:13 1️⃣ Keeping the main thing, the main thing and much, much more! I can safely say, this was a life altering podcast for me. I had goosebumps throughout the conversation, and a few awakening moments as I listened to it again, and I think it will happen to you as well. From discussing India's rise as a global economic powerhouse to exploring the opportunities and challenges facing entrepreneurs in the country, this episode is packed with invaluable wisdom and perspective. 🚀🌍 -- This episode is brought to you by ⁠Entrepreneur’s Organization – Dubai.⁠ The organization also offers a mentorship program that pairs members with experienced business leaders who can provide guidance and support as they grow their businesses.
