You'll also hear about her initial steps in starting her business, the dilemma she faced in marketing, and how she received grants for small businesses. Additionally, she talks about the importance of trademarks for your business and provides tips for starting your own.

Furthermore, Maria answers the question, "Is language a barrier in doing business?" and shares some kid-friendly places in Denmark. Join us as we listen to Maria's awe-inspiring journey of entrepreneurship in a foreign land, where she sought advice, secured funding, and summoned the courage to pursue her dreams.
