In this episode we speak to Adrian Aidid - digital marketing agency owner, ex corporate Wall Street sales slave and self confessed online education & book lover.
We dive into his background, from growing up in a struggling single family home, to finding financial success early on working in New York and then eventually making the leap into pursuing entrepreneurship through his agency, to scratch the itch he'd always felt.
He reveals exactly how he got started signing clients, why corporate life ultimately never satisfied him and how moving from Bristol to central London, and then Dubai (where he currently lives) was the best thing he's ever done for his personal life & business development. We also discuss the controversy surrounding the rise of Dubai's infrastructure, how his biggest client was the definition of 'right place right time', and how he sees the MENA region as the next big opportunity in the agency space.
In summary, Adrian has a unique and interesting perspective on life having dipped his toes into the big money Wall Street corporate world, before completely changing course and building his agency over the past few years. I'm sure the conversation had here will be valuable to many watching, and I hope you enjoy!
