#breakingpodcast


Growing up in Canada, we often like to think of our society as a tolerant and inclusive one, but the reality is that discrimination still affects countless individuals every day. 


In this episode, we talk to Lena Gurguis, the co-founder of multiple companies including: 

Flex Space, NV Property Management, and Stilettos & Hammers.


We talk about:


👉 Life in Iran and why her family had to escape.


👉 Growing up in the ghetto and learning to be aware of her surroundings.


👉 Developing street smarts and how it affects the way she does business.


👉 How her parents created a stable environment amidst instability.


And much more.
