Welcome back to the show, my fellow extraordinary Americans. For today’s guest, we have Alexandr Korshylov.

Alexandr is the founder and CEO of DreamX,  a Ukrainian UX UI design and development company. Alexandr’s story is one of resilience and determination. He founded DreamX in his early twenties with just a hundred dollars in savings. Before starting the company, he went through 100 interviews in three months to understand the IT industry and its dynamics, only to face rejection nearly every time. 

But his persistence paid off. In 2022, amidst the immense challenges of a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Alexandr started DreamX as a two-person team. 

Today, it’s a company with over 20 professionals. His journey demonstrates how grit, vision, and an entrepreneurial mindset can turn dreams into reality, even in adversity. He’s extraordinary, and I’m glad and honored to have him on the show. Alexandr, are you there?

Alexandr

Thank you so much for this introduction. I’m happy to be here and to discuss something with you.

Cosmos

Alexandr, I’m grateful to have you on this podcast as well. Can you tell me and the audience more about yourself, your background, your story, and how you started?

Alexandr

Okay. My background: I try to be super short. So, my background started when I was in childhood. I always wanted to be independent, always wanted to be independent. 

So, when I grew up, I understood I wanted to earn money by hand. By my head, not my hand. Then, I understood that I needed to do something like digital and what could be international. I wanted to be an IT guy, but I’m not technical. I didn’t finish university. I thought that was just a waste of time. That’s why I have been studying English since my childhood.

So then, I understood that I wanted to be an at. I spent so many times; I had many interviews in different positions, like an AH, project manager, HR manager, salesperson, business analytics, etc. No, all, no technical location.

So, I spent a lot of time joining it to have this interview and one day, I applied to be a salesperson, and the company offered me a job offer. I joined it. So, I changed to a couple of companies. In one company, I grew up to be the head of sales. I was responsible for all sales processes at the outsourced IT company in Israel and Ukraine, as well as the company based in Israel and Ukraine. I was like the head of sales. I was responsible for income money in this company. 

Then, I understood that being responsible for the sales process is boring. I wanted to. I understood I wanted to be responsible for all departments, such as HR, project management, etc. And I understood that I wanted to create my own company. That’s a little bit more about my introduction.

Cosmos

So Alexandr, just to continue on this question, what was it? Did your vision evolve, or was there some catalyst moment where you decided you would be in the IT industry out of all the different industries?

Alexandr

I think it was like m. Great question. I always wanted to do something digital for the future. So that’s why I didn’t think that was the one time that something changed in my mind. It was like the slow journey to now and I. I think my journey is nonstop. It’s continuing with my company.

Cosmos

So, Alexandr, one question I have to ask you is that I know you’ve been through so many interviews right before you started your company, and you faced rejection repeatedly, but you just kept moving forward. So, what is the motivational factor that keeps you going despite all this adversity?

Alexandr

I understood that I had passion. I had passion. I had To join in as it was. It doesn’t matter what was, what was salary, what about the size of the company, etc. I just wanted to be in this area to taste it. I would say I wanted to taste it. That’s why I had so much passion. My philosophy is that rejection is good. I understood that this rejection was my journey. This is not something that ends. 

So, I was motivated. I had so much passion and understood that this rejection was my journey in this philosophy. A rejection of so many interviews gave me so many different insights because, with this experience of the interview, I got an amazing interview in my company. 

After all, I understand because I was on different sides of the coin when interviewing people. And now I’m appreciative of the time, or I don’t know companies which didn’t give me any. They didn’t give me an offer.

Cosmos

So, what you said is very interesting about facing rejection because many entrepreneurs have that mindset where they gain experience from it and keep moving forward. Like many people, when they take rejection, they take it very badly. They think it’s the world’s end, but it’s only like one. One step in the store, in the Journey to like success. It’s like a stepping stone, and it’s all about mindset regarding handling failure.

Alexandr

Absolutely. Mindset. I’m a little bit crazy. Look, my philosophy is that some smart people see troubles, and a little bit of crazy people see opportunities. In my opinion, ah. Entrepreneurs need to follow this philosophy. When the smart person feels this is the end of the world. I see. Okay. This is one step toward moving forward in the right direction. So, I thought about this. Of course, I had a lot of bad emotions. But as I said, this teaches me so much now.

Cosmos

Alexandr, for the audience’s sake, can you elaborate on how when somebody sees a setback, as you said, the smart person sees the setback? You see opportunity in the setback and everything. How do you process the same thing? It’s because we’re looking at it through two different lenses.

Alexandr

I will tell you funny stories. A couple of months ago, it happened. So I spoke with the financials guys in my company who are responsible for financial analytics and gave me, and they gave me some suggestions about the financials, etc. In my company, they told me, Alex, to please pay attention to this because we could have a crisis and need to do something. I thought I was ready because crises give us new ideas and thoughts. And I am waiting for this. 

So I wasn’t upset; I was motivated because, wow. The time when we can show a real face, I would say. So that’s my mindset, you know, where I see opportunities in the crisis because I understand we need to do something if we have a crisis. We need to go in a different direction or focus or try something new, such as a sales channel. So that’s an example.

Cosmos

So, Alexandr, I know you started a company in 2022 amidst the beginning of the war in Ukraine, right with Russia. And it’s a very challenging time as a nation. So, how do you make a company work in an environment like this, where most people would just give up?

Alexandr

First of all, it is indeed very difficult to manage this company. Why? Sometimes, we have a schedule for electricity off and need to be ready. We need to be ready to sponsor co-working for my people, and we need to help them with batteries and energy to charge the Internet so they can work; we can sponsor their laptops, etc. 

When I started, the company was started. Absolutely. It was challenging. What I want to say is that we always. I plan to be very conservative during my entire journey at the company. I don’t do some crazy expenses, for example, for marketing or advertising or PR, etc. We are very conservative in our financial plans, so we want to have cash to be ready for anything.

So if something happens tomorrow, we will have a lot of money to pay. People stay here in the company, and people feel it. They will never go out when they feel this is crucial to the company’s stability. So, in my opinion, everything in My company builds on this stability. People feel it. I’m very conservative in my plans, and we are progressing to grow.

Cosmos

Alexandr, I admire this about you because you know it’s like Over here in America. It’s much easier to like because there’s more certainty. But making a business work in a time of uncertainty is one of the hardest things to do. 

So, facing many risks takes a certain level of thinking, mindset, and ability. So my question would be, how do you process risk mitigation when it comes to such an environment and also like building a company during a time of war?

Alexandr

I can joke that Ukrainian CEOs of companies are the best crisis managers in the world. That’s the joke. But I think that’s true how we manage. First of all, we do not sell our service in Ukraine. We sell outside. We have clients from all continents—Australia, Asia, the United States, and Europe. We work, so we are not putting all X in one bag. We are ready for a crisis because we work with the whole world, which helps us grow.

What I also want to join in this is about the risk. Oh, look, look. I had many questions for our clients: You are in Ukraine. You have so many challenges now—no electricity, rockets, etc. I said guys, yes, you have a risk. I understand it. 

But I’m ready to give you the best offers that I will pay for this risk. If you will try us and you like it. Let’s continue because I’m ready to be responsible for what we do with you. If we sign the contract, we will be ready to be responsible for this. Not just by words. 

We are ready to be responsible for this with money. If something happens, there is no need to pay. When our clients hear this, they are shocked. Okay, let’s try, and when they try us, they see that we are responsible for the work, quality, and deadlines, and we build this relationship on quality guarantees and take risks on our side.

Cosmos

Well, that’s amazing because, normally, the ability to manage risk and mitigate it is one of the main challenges of an entrepreneur, even in non-wartime. So, what you’re doing is amazing.

But my Alexandr, my next question would be, what lessons or revelations have you learned during your entrepreneurial journey or throughout your career that you would want the audience to know?

Alexandr

Regarding my main last, like what I got inside last year to invest in people. What does it mean to grow people in the company? Of course, I can hire any guy from the market. Still, if I hire a top-level sales manager, my sales process or my company’s sales process can be a little difficult for this person because I want to be more flexible in negotiating with clients. When I hire some top salespeople from the Ukraine market, we cannot be in the same way. I understand that I need to invest in the people in my company and grow together with them or grow them in my company. That’s, I think, the last point that I understood last year. For example, I have a very interesting M. example right now.

 So we hired a sales manager 330 days ago. In this year. In this year. So. We hired the junior sales manager and tried to give her our passion, energy, and sales philosophy. And she is so cheap because she’s a sales manager. Junior sales manager. But it’s important when, in three months, she can make deals much better than any senior sales manager. Why? Because she will be going in the same direction and following the same philosophy we put in her mind. So, I think all entrepreneurs need to do is grow people in the company, invest in them, and not fear they will leave. I’m not scared that someone leave for my company.

Cosmos

So, Alexandr, let’s say somebody wants to follow in your footsteps and become an entrepreneur in the IT industry. And they don’t know how to go about it. They’re too afraid of the risk, so they don’t have a guiding path. How should they become an entrepreneur in the IT industry or start their own company the way you did?

Alexandr

I have a good question. First of all, in my opinion, the CEO of an IT company should understand the different directions of different departments. I’m not a technical person. I’m not a designer. But I know how it works. This is important. I know that my company focuses on UX UI design. I’m not a designer. I am certainly a very bad designer. Bad designer. 

But I have a big design team and can interview the designer. I’m I know the process. I know what is bad and what is good. I know all the rules of design, etc. Also, I know very good HR. I know how to hire people. I know the project manager, and I know the sales process. I know, like a little bit of development. I’m not the. 

So, in my opinion, if someone wants to be the CEO or founder of an IT company, they need to understand all directions. It is not so good to speak professionally, but it is good to speak professionally at the same level.

Cosmos

I see. So yeah, I think that is part of entrepreneurship, in essence. You know, as you start getting bigger and bigger, but as a continuation of this, how do you go about what? How would you advise this person to go out scaling the business once they get beyond the 6 months to 1 mark area and have stabilized?

Alexandr

Their business, as you know business, grows on money. If my focus now is on my company, I think 70% of my focus of the week is sales and marketing: sale and marketing. I’m not focusing on delivery. Why? I focused on this two years ago and built the processes so my team could deliver great work independently. My focus now is on sales because just sales marketing, like more money, can grow the business. 

So, if someone wants to grow fast, you need to focus on how to earn more and faster. That’s my focus and my suggestion for the people who want to grow, make more money, make more sales, do more marketing, and do something like a very interesting idea on how to make it, for example, marketing. Sometimes, I came to my dermatologist and said I had a great idea. You need to listen to me.

Cosmos

That. I mean, that’s. That’s amazing. You make it sound very simple, but it’s a very high-pressure to do in a certain period. But the way you do it. 

You have the right mindset and combination of skills to allow that to happen.

So do you think from your perspective it’s about mindset or it’s also about? It’s also about skills, discipline, and everything contributing to success.

Alexandr

I would say that this is all things in one. I would say in one mind. In my head, I’m a very disciplined person. I have a room in my company which I follow first. This is important. I’m not the CEO, which, you know, all rules are for you. I have different rules. For me, I have the same rules. For example, I hate when people work overtime. I hate it. And I never push my people when they overtime.

So I don’t like it. I never write them a message. I never call them when they are overtime or so; I don’t like them when they are overtime. I never call them when they finish the working day. Sorry. So, that’s the rule. And I follow this rule. It doesn’t matter what position I have.

 And I want that all people will have this rule. For example, a marketing manager cannot write to the designer during non-working hours. Why? Because they have life. And everything is simple. But about the discipline, the motivation, the fact that I’m not worried about the money. I like to do something big. That’s my passion.

Of course, a business needs money. But my passion is not money. My passion is seeing great, big results. That’s what I like. That’s why I don’t know. I think I answer no.

Cosmos

Ultimately, it’s coming down to what we are passionate about, right? Entrepreneurs often face many hardships, and when people start a business, many just quit within the first couple of years or months. The people continued because they had something going on beyond the money. 

Because, you know, many people make it seem like it’s about money, but it’s more than money. It has to be. The primary motivation has to be something more than that.

Alexandr

 I like the big processes. I like the big result. For example, in 2019, I ran a Marathon of 42 kilometers. You cannot imagine how much time you need to prepare. You need to spend half a year, maybe more than to be ready for one long run. I have a tattoo here, as you see. This is about the marathon, 42 kilometers. 

So, that distance, like this marathon journey, showed me that if you want something and are very disciplined, you will get it. You will achieve this goal if you spend the time, have passion and motivation, and do the right things like training. Then you will get it. Because if you do not train, you will never finish a marathon. Never finish a marathon. This is unreal, in my opinion, because your body will tell you no. 

So the same is my opinion. In business, you have a big goal, and you need to have this journey move step by step in the right direction, moving, moving, moving. And one day, you will achieve what you want. I want to have a bigger company; I want to have bigger revenue. I want my people to like the company more. I want my company to support more people. We have now decided that we will not be responsible for people in our company this year. 

Also, outside, we have decided on my company that we will be responsible for different dog shelters in Ukraine and sponsor them by foot. Why? Because we want to share. We are not worried about the money. We earn money. We are profitable. And I think we need to give charity a small piece of this profit. And nobody pushed me. I told my team I wanted our company to be responsible for social activity. And this is you. Ah, you can check. You can read on our website, DreamX,  that we have our reports of dog shelter sponsorship on the page.

Cosmos

That’s amazing. For the sake of the audience, Alexandr and I want to emphasize how much discipline and determination play a role in success. You mentioned about the marathon, right? It’s like how you do one thing is how you do everything. 

And yeah, how you’re applying your mindset towards running that 42 km is also the same mindset you apply towards business. And many people look at successful business people and entrepreneurs, and they’re like, these people got lucky. And no, they had; they put in the work like there are no shortcuts.

Alexandr

Absolutely. Look, my opinion for the entrepreneur is focusing on the right things. Focusing is important because sometimes, when you have so many people and processes in the company, if you are not focusing on the right things, you will not grow, and you will lose. 

Why? Because the first person in the company doesn’t matter is 30 people or 10,000 people. If the first person in this company does not focus on the right things, all the people will feel it. 

So very important, for entrepreneurs, it doesn’t matter which area business area focusing on the right things. To have this focus, sometimes you can have a house, but you need to know how to work with this house, go through all other things, and focus just in the right direction. I’m focusing on my company in the right direction. I have an assistant in my company, and she has a task for me. Like I have an executive assistant. She helped me with my working day and her main task to have my focus on the right things. She pushed me daily to focus on the right things and reminded me what I needed to do a day at a day in a day.

Cosmos

And one question I wanted to ask because, you know, entrepreneurs often have problems with people. Management and human resources matter. Right. Because they’re like employees, some people are people, and sometimes they might be difficult to work with. So, do you have a set process for dealing with difficult employees or people who are not doing their jobs and all that stuff?

Alexandr

First, we must identify in the interview if the person is toxic. We are not working with toxic people because they are toxic to all people, and they will be unmotivated. You must identify it. In our company, we integrated the soft skills interview a half year ago. What does it mean? We will ask you different questions to help you feel who you are. For example, what would you do if something happened with your PC and you had a quick task to finish? And believe me, different people answer differently. Someone can say I will do it tomorrow, try to fix it now or go to my friend’s PC to do something. So very interesting. 

So, to hire the right people, independent professionals who know what to do, give them this right task. But if the person needs. You need to double-check the person that’s the bad, bad, wrong, wrong direction. Because it is much better to do it by myself than double-check someone; you cannot do different things if you. If you need to double-check everything,

So, hiring and identifying the right people during the interview is right. Make different steps of the interview. This is also a great point: you should identify and hire the right people because not hiring the right people will punch very well. Very, very strong, I would say.

Cosmos

No. Yeah. Like I’m asking this question because it’s one of the things that, like many new entrepreneurs and people starting businesses like them, they find along the way that once their business stabilizes and they’re looking to expand, they have to hire new people. But different people are like some people and are easier to work with. Some people are just difficult to work with. 

So, I’m asking whether there’s a standardized process for motivating employees and managing people because it’s one of the most interesting parts.

Alexandr

I also will answer this question. First of all, respect them. Respect them. I got so much feedback from my company. I’m working on this because I feel respected for going to someone. I need the help of someone; for example, marketing goes to the designer, and they have great conversations; nobody is toxic, and they want to help each other and respect each other. 

Because why? Because I respect all people. That’s. I What does that’s. I told you about the overtime. I don’t like it. I never write messages during working time. Why? Because I respect and want all like this to be from me, from my philosophy. I have a company in my philosophy that respects each other, and people will be motivated. Then, of course, pay a good salary. 

Because people work for money, not for the idea. Maybe the idea is not the first. Maybe it is an idea, but not the first, in my opinion. First, this is the money, respect, and the idea. And that’s, that’s what. I think three points are important for the people—money, respect, and ideas of the company.

Cosmos

No, I mean that’s That’s, that’s so true what you’re saying. Ultimately, like many problems, it is because of disrespect where it is not warranted. If you have a valley where you respect your fellow person, it goes a long way if you’re polite and respectful. It solves half the world’s problems. Often, there’s a superiority complex, an inferiority complex. And that plays a role in a lot of issues. 

So I hear what you’re saying.

Alexandr

Yeah. I can tell you where I understood this when I was on the hundred interviews. I sometimes felt that the people on different sides of the company did not respect me. 

So they’re like, okay, you want one of a hundred. You are one of the ones in my company. We want to speak with the person, and we will check your CV in detail when I interview the people in the third stage. On the third, like yes, third stage, third interview. I always read the CV. I make notes. I want to ask you, for example, if you have in your CV that you Finish it. Psychology University. I will ask you. Oh, you finished Psychologist University. Wow. It’s cool. Like the people understand that.  I checked.

Cosmos

Nice. Yeah. I can’t emphasize enough to the audience that you must respect your fellow man because I think many of the world’s issues come from disrespect.

But, to the next question, Alexandr, from your perspective, what do you think was a challenging experience you faced during your time, and how did you go about creating DreamX and overcoming that challenge?

Alexandr

I have a question before. To answer my question, have you ever had the Ukrainian people CEOs on this podcast?

Cosmos

I’ve had Ukrainian immigrants in America, but I’ve never actually interviewed a Ukrainian.

Alexandr

No. The biggest challenge now in my company is that we’re based in Kyiv, Ukraine, and we currently have a war status in Ukraine. My gender, my gender male, cannot go abroad. You know that all business cooperative areas negotiate by tape. Like eye to eye to eye, face to face. I have the challenge of negotiating with you via Zoom and big deals. No, nobody wants to have big deals through Zoom. Everyone wants to see each other to see your eye. 

So that’s one of the biggest challenges I face, and I cannot go abroad easily right now in my country. I need to send a sales manager girl or have a Zoom call with you. That’s also the challenge right now in my company. What challenges do we have in the local market? We are not selling on the local market. Why? But we can do much better than in Australia because we know everything. We know the culture well here in Ukraine because I’m Ukrainian and know Ukrainian much better than Australians. That means the market is not ready for the economy in a bad situation. People think about the military and the war, not the business or startups. 

Because my company has probably more than 60%, this is an early-stage startup pre-seed round, and they always get investment and want to use it very efficiently. Nobody will invest in the startup in the work country. So that’s why we are not selling here. This is also bad because we want to sell, but we understand this is not the right time for a sale process, so we are focusing here. 

And we cannot go abroad. I cannot go abroad. I have an invitation from the whole world, but I cannot go easily. And this is the challenge.

Cosmos

I mean, yeah, that is A pretty intense challenge. It’s something that, like here in America, we’re not like we don’t have to; it doesn’t even cross our mind. 

So, it’s very interesting to understand how different it is from your perspective. And it, it goes. It takes home the point of the necessity of freedom in our lives and how valuable it is. Because most people, at least in America, take freedom for granted. But freedom is something that you have to always fight for because there are others. Because it’s something that’s not freely given. It’s something that’s earned over some time.

Alexandr

If you want, I can give you one example. Very, very funny. I have one client in London, and these people, clients of London, are super busy with one company. They do a fintech company like a big fintech company. And I always speak with this company’s top level because we design for them. And I had so many situations when I was trying to have a call with them for two weeks. Two weeks because they are always busy. They always reschedule, reschedule, reschedule. And when I have a call, I ask them if I will come to London.

 Can I come to your office to have a conversation with you? They said tomorrow you can come anytime. I think you got my point. I couldn’t have a call with them for two weeks. I spent two weeks on a call with the person, and he said to come to the office tomorrow if I wanted to.

Cosmos

Wow.

Alexandr

That’s the challenge. That means, like I think you feel, I have so many situations like that. Someone did not answer me for a couple of days and said if you want to come to the office, we can meet anytime. Wow.

Cosmos

No, I mean many things we just take for granted. Sometimes, when it’s gone, we realize how important it is and what freedom is like. One of the reasons I started exploring America was because I felt like many people were not financially free. They have to have an entrepreneurial mindset and take life like they are making excuses in their lives or why they can, why their life is the same. And the ultimate realization is you’re the captain of your destiny. No matter your environment, you can always find a way, and you’re one of those examples, you know, you’re positional that way.

Alexandr

Thank you. Thank you. In my opinion, an entrepreneur, first of all, needs to have a Mindset that never gives up. Look, I never give up. I’m, I’m not giving up. I’m still trying to negotiate with someone in Zoom.

I didn’t tell myself that you cannot go to the office. I need to stop the company. No, I said, okay, let’s find a different way. And that’s why I said that right now. Ukrainian CEOs are the world’s best crisis managers because they know how to find different directions and ways to achieve what they want.

Cosmos

I mean, no, I mean, that’s incredible. I mean, it’s one of those things, right? It ultimately comes down to how you see the world. You can look at a hard rock and obstacles and say, “Okay, I can’t get over it. You can find a way to do this or see it as an opportunity. And it’s that mindset that makes the difference between failure and success.

Alexandr

Yeah. My company, DreamX, is about following your dream. It’s a great name, in my opinion. I call this company this name because I understand I want to move according to my dream. My dream is like to be independent.

First of all, I am very independent. I want to be free in the world, do something international, support people, and do some social activity. This motivates me so much. When I do social activities in our company, we spend money not on things like watches or shoes. We can do more, for example, by donating 500 kilograms or more food to dog shelters. And the owner of this dog shelter called me and said thank you so much. Thank you so much. It’s much better than that and gives you more positivity and motivation to do something more.

Cosmos

No, totally.

And Alexandr, can you tell me an audience a little bit more about DreamX and the premise of how you started so that the audience can get to know more about your company?

Alexandr

About my company? Yeah, we focus on the IT area; we have different stages. Then, when you do like IT products, you have different stages that you need to go through, like the project requirements. The design stage development stage includes backend, front end QA marketing, etc. Testing.

 My company focuses on the one stage, the UX UI, and a little front-end development because we understand that we want to be top in the one local market. We don’t want to do all things because we want to be responsible for what we do. That’s why we decided to be in the UXUI design Because I don’t have experience in UX UI design. I know now how to do it. 

But this came from the history of the dream. When I bought a subscription or freelance platform, I randomly started cooperating with the designer company for a hundred dollars and tried to sell my friend’s service. I had a very good friend who did a logotype illustration, etc. I came to her with a proposition: let’s make a business I will sell you will do, and let’s have a process of income. 

So, we agreed and earned some thousand dollars together in the first month. I was shocked, and she was also shocked. So, I was sailing. She was like a performance person. Then I understood that the illustration graphic design Is good, but I saw more perspective in web design UXUI design and step-by-step by-step. Step by step, grow up to now.

Cosmos

Wow, that’s amazing, Alexandr. Despite the odds, how you started it and where it is now is interesting. So, I’m very impressed by that.

Alexandr

Now, we want to do more than a million dollars in revenue this year, and we will do it. And this is the goal. All my team knew that this was the goal we would achieve because I would be the first person to achieve this goal with them.

 And we started like from 100 bucks. Yes, because in this area, What you need to have is the most important thing. In the company. This is not something like a PC or a laptop. This is your mind in 80. Everything builds on the mindset, on the minds of the people. So equity is the people.

Cosmos

No, I mean, it’s amazing. And I want the audience to know that there are no excuses. They’re like, if you can do it, Alexandr, then anybody can do it. You know what it’s all about. It’s all about the mindset. It’s all about seeing opportunities, even in obstacles. And that’s the mentality that leads to success.

Alexandr

So I had so many super quick to tell you the story. I had many situations when we had troubles; for example, we were banned. For example, we got a ban on our accounts or a bad review of our service. Sometimes, it happens, and I have had so many funny situations. When I saw the eyes of my people, they were stressed. 

They were shocked. I said guys, we Will have shock later. Let’s now fix it. Let’s find a way to fix it, and then you will be shocked. Okay. Okay, so I was the first person who pushed it to fix some of our problems with the bans of accounts or to find ways to have a not-the-bad review, a good review of the service. So yes, never give up.

Cosmos

I mean, that’s the motto, right? Never give up, even in the face of adversity.

And Alexandr, are there any other projects you’re working on right now that you’d want the audience to see?

Alexandr

Whoa. Believe me, we are working on so many different projects. We are currently working on 20 projects a day.

Cosmos

Wow.

This is from the web application to the doctor who fights cancer up to the AI tool that generates the text for, for example, the book. There are so many different projects. For example, we finished the project a couple of weeks ago. We created the big web application Big SaaS, which helped to fight fake clicks on the website. You have so many graphic charts when you just put a link. 

So, we are working in a lot of different business areas. I like it because I’m in touch with the digital world daily. I know what the future will be like. And when I heard some requirements of the new projects, I said wow, I want to; I wanted my company to work on this.

Cosmos

That is amazing, Alexandr. And Alexandr, how can my audience connect with you and learn more about you, your work, your company, and everything you do?

Alexandr

I’m super open, believe me. I hate it when someone wants to give me money through a consultation. My consultation cost one espresso.

Cosmos

Nice.

Alexandr

I’m not worried about the money. I want to share my experience. Why? If, for example, I had heard about that experience three or four years ago, I could have written to the person who could give me some suggestions without any money. I was shocked and will write about it, so now I am trying to have this philosophy to help people. As I was younger, I would say how to connect me on LinkedIn. 

I’m super open to LinkedIn. If you could put the link to LinkedIn in this podcast, I would greatly appreciate it. Also, check our website if someone wants to see more about our service because our website domain is dreamxweb.com or just DreamX, in Google. That’s it. Anyone can write to me directly or to the company to request cooperation. We are very flexible, and our website is 130 pages long. You can read a lot about our service, our business area, where we work, our core industry, etc.

Cosmos

That is amazing, Alexandr. I’m so grateful you took the time to come to this podcast and share your experience because your story is very inspirational, and if you can make a business work even in Ukraine, that would be great. 

And any of us should be able to do it as well. And because it’s all about mindset, we should never have a never-give-it-up attitude. So, I appreciate that you came to this podcast.

Alexandr

Thank you for the invitation. I hope it was a great conversation. And maybe that’s help for someone to push, push, push.

Cosmos

Yeah, of course. And I want to conclude this episode by letting my fellow extraordinary Americans know that, hey, look, there’s an extraordinary within every one of us. We must awaken it and unleash it. Until next time. Bye for now.
