Dima Sobovoy told his future wife on their first date he wanted to be a missionary, not stay in America.
As heard by us
A grounded rise-from-welfare story that ties belief and business together.
Dima Sobovoy's path moves from welfare help and uncertainty into a missionary drive and business building, and the episode stays grounded in ordinary work and money. What sticks is the way it links faith, discipline, and practical lessons about making a brand easy to find.
Why you'd press play
A welfare-to-business story about faith, branding, and blunt lessons on owning your path.
