As children, we’re used to our parents telling us we can’t do something — but what if it’s your government? Growing up in Communist East Germany, Dagmar was faced with the harsh likelihood she would never be a clothing designer. So she set off on a parallel path with one guiding thought — “at some point I can switch.” And she did just that! If you’ve ever felt something in your soul telling you to do a thing everyone tells you is impossible… you won’t want to miss this one!
Can’t-Miss Moments From This Episode:
- "This is great! Why isn't everybody doing this?!" What happened when Dagmar realized that the upside of being in business for yourself comes with a little downside too

- The two key components to entrepreneurship: what you do with these can make or break your business
