And about why the paths you choose are never walked alone.

#81 Tine Starič: From Slovenia to Lithuania for Four Years and the People Who Shape Your Journey

Author: Ekonomska fakulteta

After completing his studies at the School of Economics and Business in Ljubljana, he took the opportunity to work abroad and moved to Lithuania, where he lived and worked for four years. As he puts it, the biggest shifts often begin where certainty fades and all that remains is the decision to move forward.

In this conversation, we return to the beginning of his journey, from his studies and first steps into the business world to the decision to go abroad. The central part of the episode focuses on his experience of living and working in Lithuania: how the idea came about, the path to the opportunity, the challenges he faced when relocating and adapting to a new environment, and what the experience gave him both professionally and personally.

Towards the end, we also touch on the importance of mentorship, attitudes towards failure, inner motivation, and the question of what helps a person stay true to themselves and their decisions, even during more demanding periods. The episode offers an honest insight into a career journey, personal growth, and a reflection on what we can take from the steps that challenge us the most.
