Agnes Szabo, a Hungarian entrepreneur and author, shared her life journey on her first-ever podcast appearance. The conversation covered her upbringing under Hungarian socialism, her transition to entrepreneurship at age 35, surviving the 2008–2009 economic crisis, and her upcoming book publications. Agnes emphasized self-trust, resilience, and systemic thinking as her core life principles.

Background: Born and raised in Hungary under socialism; witnessed the political shift to capitalism at age 22

Entrepreneurship: Started first business (apartment construction) at 35; built 100 flats over ~7 years; currently operates private kindergartens and nurseries in Hungary

Major challenge: 2008–2009 economic crisis nearly collapsed her construction business; survived through self-reliance alone

Philosophy: Emphasizes letting go of hardship to protect one's soul, trusting oneself, and thinking in systems

Books: Two books authored — Life Code (publishing October 27) and Life Command (publishing February 26 the following year), both available on Amazon

Future plans: Building a new business called the Nearby System — three European high-tech technology clinics in Florida; projected 4–5 year project

Life Code was written 16 years ago during the economic crisis as a personal coping tool, then rediscovered and published

Life Command was written in November of the prior year, building on 16 years of reflection

A third book, Life Inspiration, is already conceptualized to complement the planned Florida business venture

Agnes distinguishes between believing and hoping — she states she believes in her success, not merely hopes for it

Core message to listeners: trust yourself, find your foundational problem, and know it is never too late
