    Maryna's Journey

    In this episode, we speak to Maryna, a Ukrainian woman whose life was indelibly changed on February 24, 2022, when Russian forces invaded her hometown of Kharviv, in the east of the country. Though she happened to be outside of the country on holiday when the war initially broke out, she’s since become one of the 8M+ Ukrainians who are displaced around the world.  Far from her previous life as a professor of pharmacy at the National University of Kharkiv, she traveled through Hungary before finding refuge in Poland’s capital of Warsaw in the early days of the conflict. Today, she works in hospitality at Tent member company, Marriott. She speaks to Tent about the challenges she has faced, her job at Marriott, and hopes for the future. Hosted by Tony DiFlorio. Produced by Jake Musiker.

    La meta de Eduardo

    En este episodio hablamos con Eduardo; un estudiante universitario en Venezuela cuando en el país estalló el descontento social. La grave crisis económica, la escasez de alimentos y medicamentos, el crimen desenfrenado y un gobierno opresor han llevado a más de cinco millones de venezolanos a huir del país. En 2017, la crisis obligó a Eduardo a abandonar su hogar y comenzar una nueva vida en Bogotá, Colombia. Teleperformance, una empresa global enfocada en brindar atención al cliente y soporte técnico a algunas de las marcas más grandes del mundo, contrató a Eduardo poco después de su llegada. Cuatro años después, Eduardo ha asumido un rol de liderazgo y continúa trabajando duro por alcanzar sus sueños, motivado por su familia. Presentado por Daniela Guzmán. Producido por Margaux Maxwell.

Teleperformance, a global business focused on providing customer care and technical support to some of the world’s largest brands, hired Eduardo shortly after his arrival. Four years later, Eduardo has taken on a leadership role and continues to work hard in pursuit his dreams, spurred by his family. Hosted by Daniela Guzman. Produced by Margaux Maxwell.
