🎙️🌟 The J2 Hub Podcast: From California to Dubai: Real Talk on Culture Shock, Real Estate & the Truth About Life in the UAE

In this honest and eye-opening 1hr episode, I’m joined by the phenomenal Laurena, our superstar team member from Southern California, alongside Behniya, for a candid conversation about making it in Dubai’s booming property market! 🏙️

Ever wondered what it’s REALLY like to move to Dubai, start a new career as a broker, and navigate all the cultural shifts and business challenges along the way? Lorena drops the truth bombs about facing her fears, adapting to the culture, and what surprised her most after moving from the US. Spoiler: Google got it all WRONG! 😅
