In this episode, Matteo Pittaluga sits down with Simona to talk about the real reason behind one of the biggest decisions of his life: leaving Italy and starting over in Dubai.

This is not about glamour or hype. It’s about opportunity, mindset, and choosing an environment that pushes you to grow.

We talk about what wasn’t working back home, what Dubai offers that most people don’t talk about, and how changing your surroundings can completely change your trajectory.

From personal growth to business freedom, this conversation breaks down why so many entrepreneurs are choosing Dubai and what that decision actually looks like behind the scenes. If you’ve ever felt stuck, limited, or questioned whether your environment is holding you back, this episode will resonate deeply.
