About this episode

This sixth episode of our series features Yann Mrazek. Yann has excelled in both sport and business: a four-time Swiss Basketball League champion, he is now one of the most valued and respected business lawyers in Dubai. From professional athlete to fearless entrepreneur, Yann has always pushed his limits, embracing discomfort as a driver of success. Growing up in a legendary sporting family, he recounts key moments from his 11 years as a pro player, while simultaneously building his entrepreneurial career.

In this episode, Yann explains how his athlete’s mindset helped him start his own business. He also shares insights on decision-making, finding the right people, and embracing the highs and lows. We discuss his love for independent watchmaking, which he sees as a form of pure art, emphasizing that the story behind the object is so important.
