#55: Omer Hazer – How He Retired His Mum Before 30, Getting Deported and Lessons for Entrepreneurs
Description
In this episode, we dive deep into Omers remarkable story, starting with how he moved to New Zealand alone as a teenager from Turkey, built a thriving business, and then faced a shocking deportation that sparked national media attention.
We unpack the fight to bring him back, the intervention from Winston Peters, and what it was like to have his future decided by a government ruling. Omer opens up about his childhood in Turkey, the stark differences between life there and in NZ, and the devastating loss of his father, who left behind not just emotional scars but also hidden debts that bankrupted his family.
Despite this, Omer went on to make millions in crypto, retire his mother, travel the world with his best mates, and build a life most could only dream of.
We also explore what entrepreneurs in NZ need to truly succeed, the roadblocks to scaling a business, and how Omer’s latest venture, Atlas Studios, is making waves in the eCommerce space.
Really enjoyed this, Omer's brilliance will shine on this! New episodes every Wednesday morning, big thanks to our sponsors, Moana Road and Kaboose Media!
