Growing up in Mongolia without parents, Aisha Makara found independence early, taking herself on solo adventures while other children clung to familiarity. At just eight years old, she taught herself English—setting the stage for a life of exploration, entrepreneurship, and creativity.
Now, she’s travelled to over 60 countries, built a boutique property portfolio in Portugal, and even sent her artwork to space with SpaceX and Qosmosys. But beyond the achievements, Aisha’s story is about resilience, risk-taking, and seizing opportunities—even when the odds are stacked against you.
In this episode, she shares her journey, the power of saying yes, and why the biggest regrets often come from what we don’t do. This conversation will inspire you to take that leap—because if everyone is hesitating, who’s the competition?
