In this episode, Marisa Hyland shares the journey that took her from redundancy to building her own marketing agency in Ibiza. Driven from a young age, losing her job became the unexpected turning point that pushed her to step away from the 9–5 and create something of her own.

Marisa opens up about the realities behind the journey, the challenges of starting a business from scratch, what it truly takes to run an international agency, and the personal experience of building a life and career away from home.
