Can you run a successful product business alongside your day job?
That’s exactly what engineer Maysun Hassanaly has done, developing and producing high quality and sustainable yoga gear at Ladina Yoga.
Maysu’s products are designed in collaboration with African artists, and also manufactured in Africa. Maysun shares how she came to start her business and why she operates her business the way she does. We discuss the challenges of launching and running a business alongside a high-tempo day job.
If you are juggling a day job whilst also trying to build your own business, this is a brilliant episode as Maysun shares how the skills she has learned in one role transfer to the other, and that it is possible to do the two roles simultaneously.
