Starting a business in a new country can be both exciting and challenging. Alongside the usual demands of entrepreneurship, many immigrants must also navigate unfamiliar systems, cultural differences, and face the task of building confidence and connections from scratch.

Drawing on real experience and practical insight, Darya’s book offers clear, actionable guidance for overcoming obstacles, building resilience and turning ambition into sustainable success. Packed with practical strategies, it is a valuable resource for aspiring founders, business owners, and anyone interested in entrepreneurship, growth and personal .

This special author talk will explore the inspiration behind the book, the lessons Darya has learned through her own journey, and the key ideas that can help others thrive in business while adapting to life in a new country.
