Sophie Biggerstaff

Ever desired more than just surface level business relationships?

In this episode of The Remote CEO Life Podcast, I’m joined by Melek Mourad, founder of Harmony Lab, to explore what it truly means to build authentic business relationships - especially as a digital nomad.

We talk about:

  • How to stay true to yourself in new and unfamiliar environments
  • The emotional challenges of entrepreneurship and remote life
  • Why community and deep connections are key to long-term business fulfillment
  • Navigating burnout, loneliness, and the importance of self-awareness
  • The inner work required to create lasting, meaningful relationships in life and business

Melek shares her journey as a digital nomad and emphasizes the need for self-awareness and the process of peeling back layers to reveal one's true self. We also address the importance of managing burnout and loneliness in a nomadic lifestyle.

If you're craving more genuine connection in your business or life, this episode will remind you that authenticity is your greatest asset.
