Welcome dear friend, to the ‘Dare to dream big’ podcast. My name is Anastasia Dimitriadou and in these sessions I invite you to join me and my amazingly creative guests for some raw, unedited conversations about what it really takes—behind the scenes—to make your dreams come true.

Today you are listening to a special episode, because it’s a live session from my podcast release party a few months ago.

I was very lucky that my guest was Aya Fabricius.

Aya is, as you will hear a bubbly, positive, outgoing and adventurous creative soul who has co-founded Spotly, a platform to book short-term showroom space, she is head of communication at a company called Proptech that works in real estate and she does so much more of course.

In this conversation you will hear what drives Aya, the potential she sees in pop-ups and what they can bring to small businesses.

We talk about how important failing is and if failure was something that was welcomed when Aya was growing up. And she shares with us one of her biggest failures when she was an intern in NYC, how she dealt with it and how she goes about projects that are not working out.

Aya shares with us how she sees the connection between cultural entrepreneurs and capitalism and what needs to change from her point of view.

We also talk about fears such as imposter syndrom, about work life balance, about feeling at home, about the down sides of being driven and about slowing down.

And at last we talk about people, about how to go about collaborations, what she beliefs about people to be true and about taking responsibility for our feelings.

I’m feeling so happy when listening back to this conversation because it reminds me how blessed I am in this life. This day was so special to me and this podcast is special to me, so thank you for listening. Aya said something in the end which is what makes this life so interesting to me. She said, it’s just people.
