Alex Hirschi built Supercar Blondie from a radio hosting job in Dubai to a global media brand, launched SBX Cars auction platform, and this conversation reveals why she left security in 2017 when colleagues said "see you in two months," how Facebook's golden era paid $1M monthly before collapsing 10x, and why diversifying across platforms became a survival strategy.

Learn why she loves Dubai's rapid change instead of romanticising the past, how SBX Cars fills the gap between collectors flying to physical auctions and wanting curated high-end listings without $30K cars next to $3M ones, and why the platform ships supercars globally from Dubai to Hong Kong. This covers why YouTube builds brand loyalty better despite inconsistent revenue, how AI scammers use her face with different voices to target lonely people, and why documenting everything makes life feel less genuine.
