In this inspiring episode of The Phoenix Prosperity Podcast, Tim Fergestad sits down with Nadia Conn, founder of West to East Business Solutions, a fractional CFO firm serving small and mid-sized businesses. Nadia shares her powerful journey from escaping civil war in Tajikistan to building a successful finance company in the U.S.—all while navigating language barriers, cultural shifts, and corporate burnout.
With decades of corporate finance experience, Nadia opens up about her decision to leave the security of the banking world to launch her own business. She explains how West to East helps companies by offering high-level financial guidance at a fraction of the cost, giving small businesses access to a full team of experts for the price of one.
Nadia’s story is one of perseverance, reinvention, and an unshakable commitment to helping others succeed. Whether you're a business owner, an immigrant entrepreneur, or simply someone who loves stories of grit and growth, this episode will stay with you.
