Meet Franka Grubisic, who has one hell of a catalyst story, that brought out the entrepreneur within her.

In this extended episode we go back to the start of the global pandemic in March 2020. Where an Earthquake that magnified to 5.5. on the Richter scale, hit Zagreb in Croatia where Franka lives. 

Like many of us during the pandemic, Franka found comfort by exploring her creative side. You will hear how she started to follow her deepest desires and curiosity to reveal a great opportunity to her hidden entrepreneur. Learn how she made the switch from being a management consultant to become an entrepreneur leading other female creatives. 

In this episode, we discover more about her brilliant public funded new business concept Oaza. (Pronounced Oasis in English). A Croatian entrepreneurship incubator designed to rise up female creatives. Plus we unpack the catalysts and strategies to find the energy, team, and funds to build Franka’s idea into a business; in less than 3 days.
