From Syrian refugee to 7 figure entrepreneur with Magic Dates Founder Diana Jarrar (Part 1)

Welcome back to the show, it’s Doone here - your host and hype girl.

If you’re new here - I am so happy to have you joining us - in these incredibly inspiring episodes we meet successful founders - who happen to be women - to deep dive into their story of building a business. We love to dig into things like money and marketing and the challenges we face in the hopes that by sharing the blueprint it’ll help others in the journey. In today’s episode we’re learning from Diana Jarrar, founder of Magic Dates.

Diana is a former Syrian and Palistinian refugee who immigrated to North America to find a new path for herself, and launched her business in 2018. Magic Dates celebrates the cultural heritage and rich history of the Middle East, while reclaiming the date as a symbol of cultural connection.

Rooted in Middle Eastern culture and tradition, Magic Dates offers indulgent and nourishing snack bites made with real dates and nutrient-dense, whole ingredients and no added sugars or sugar alcohols. Magic Dates is the perfect bridge between healthy and indulgent, with delectable flavors and good-for-you ingredients including naturally derived polyphenols.

And we’re covering so many good things:
 

Proving out your product and idea with real customer feedback

The importance of bringing Middle Eastern culture to the western world

A crazzyyy mistake that cost her $50k

Getting rejected from Sharktank 4 times and

The importance of relationships in business
