Ever wondered what someone does when they wake up one day and decide to build a tennis court?
Today, we bring you the story of an exceptionally positive and inspiring individual: Ieva, a wanna-be librarian turned cheerleader turned product manager turned founder. Throughout her dynamic career journey, with numerous 'turns', two constants have remained — her unwavering love for sports and a disarmingly strong belief in herself.
Ieva is the co-founder of The Beyond.Berlin, a community-based platform with a mission to democratize tennis. In this episode, she opens up about her path to founding the The Beyond, the role of Tech in her journey (and why it didn't drive her), and how her younger self continues to be a wellspring of inspiration.
If you want to book a fun tennis class in Berlin without waiting for 56 years for a spot at a tennis court (and that will heal any tennis-related childhood traumas), check out The Beyond.Berlin and follow them in Instagram @thebeyond.berlin.
