The Resilient Entrepreneur with Michelle Mercier

What would you do if you showed up to board a flight and were unable to do so because your name was on Interpol’s Most Wanted list? That’s exactly what happened to today’s guest, Marek Zmysłowski.

Marek is a Polish-born entrepreneur and executive, focused on Online Business and Renewable Energy, passionate about Emerging Markets. He is also the author of the Best-Selling book – “Chasing Black Unicorns” – which tells the story of his time as a start up founder in Nigeria. Today’s interview covers the twists & turns that occurred when a business partner got Marek placed on Interpol’s Most Wanted list...freezing his bank accounts, blacklisting him within his industry and so much more. Instead of stepping into the victim role, he decided to fight the injustice and own his part in the wrongdoing. All of this resulted in charges being dropped, as well as a much-needed awakening for Marek.
