Inès Gafsi quit every corporate job she had.

Then built three companies empowering 20,000+ women across Asia Pacific.

From Tunisia to France to London to Hong Kong → she's lived the international life most people only dream about.

And now she's sharing exactly how she did it.

In this episode, Inès gets raw about:

→ Why she kept quitting jobs (hint: stubborn belief she could do better and innovate more)

→ The moment she realized marketing luxury brands wasn't her passion

→ How two young women with zero business background built FEW (Female Entrepreneurs Worldwide) from one event to 20,000 members

→ Her mom's influence as a solo parent working night shifts to build a better life

→ Strategic fundraising vs. bootstrapping (and why she'd do it again)

→ Network building secrets that got her access to top doctors, investors, and experts worldwide

→ The messy truth about combining motherhood with entrepreneurship

→ Why girls aged 14-16 in lower socioeconomic areas need visible role models (Inspiring Girls)

→ The conversation no one's having: women going through IVF alone at work, pretending everything's fine

The quote that hit different:

"If we don't reach for the stars, we'll never really know what happened. We need to dream big from the get-go."

This episode is for you if:

✅ You feel stuck in corporate and wonder if there's more

✅ You're building something but doubt yourself constantly

✅ You want to understand strategic network building (not transactional BS)

✅ You're curious about raising funds vs. bootstrapping

✅ You're balancing ambition with motherhood (or thinking about it)

✅ You believe women deserve better access, exposure, and role models

Key takeaway:

Stop waiting for the "right time" to build what you want.

Inès didn't have the background, the connections, or the business degree.

She had passion, persistence, and a stubborn belief she could create the room she wanted to be in.

And she did.

Listen now to hear how she turned uncertainty into Asia's largest female founder network.
