Description

In this episode of Beyond the Business Card, host Justin McGuire, entrepreneur, founder of MCG Talent, and creator of 7-Figure Recruitment, sits down with powerhouse entrepreneur Sophie Ghavidel, the founder of one of the region’s most successful independent communications agencies, Toh PR. 

 

Sophie opens up about her journey — from a childhood of competitive scholarship exams (and fishy breakfasts!) to setting up shop in Dubai during the financial crisis with nothing but instinct and grit. 

 

💡 In This Episode, You’ll Discover:  

  • How she landed her first major client (Zuma) with no team. 
  • The challenges and hustle behind building a business in a volatile market. 


  • The emotional and personal sacrifices behind the success. 


  • How she orchestrated a successful exit post Toh PR’s acquisition by PRCO. 


  • Her view on real estate, reinvention, and what’s next. 

 

It’s honest, raw, and full of gems for anyone in business, PR, or simply navigating their own career path.
