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.

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.

This conversation isn’t just about making money; it’s about what comes after success.

In this powerful episode of Self Made Show, we sit down with Tomo Marjanovic to break one of the biggest lies in modern health.

If your hormones are off, nothing works.

Mental health, energy, focus, fat loss, motivation, sleep — they all start with hormones. And yet most people are treating symptoms instead of fixing the root cause.

Tomo explains why optimizing your lifestyle comes before supplements, treatments, or medication, and why mental health and hormonal health are inseparable. We dive into why generic medicine is failing people, how the system is designed to create patients instead of healthy humans, and why your health should be treated like a custom suit, not a one-size-fits-all prescription.

If you feel worse now than you did years ago… If you’re doing “everything right” but still feel off… If you want control over your health instead of outsourcing it…

This episode will change how you think about your body.

⚠️ Warning: This conversation challenges the medical system, comfort thinking, and lazy health advice.
