They Quit Their Corporate Jobs, Sold Everything & Traveled the World…Featuring Jessica Zouaoui
Description
What happens when you leave everything familiar behind to chase an idea you believe in?
Jessica and Damien found out.
They quit their corporate careers, sold what they owned, packed two backpacks, and traveled the world looking for a business concept they could bring back to the U.S.
Then, in Poland, they discovered something unexpected: a beer spa.
What started as a crazy idea became Oakwell Beer Spa—and building it required far more than a unique concept.
They faced rejection from banks, limited capital, unfamiliar territory, and countless challenges. But instead of quitting, they got creative, rolled up their sleeves, and kept moving forward.
Five years later, they have two locations, a team of around 30 people, and a franchise model ready to grow.
The lesson?
Entrepreneurship isn't about having a smooth road. It's about having enough conviction to keep going when the road gets difficult.
Sometimes you just have to push from 9 to 10.
