#048 - Ruairí Tubrid – From Primary School Teacher to Building a Startup in Dubai

In this episode of Life Is a Game, I sit down with Ruairí Tubrid, co-founder and COO of HealthStay.io.

Ruairí’s journey is anything but typical. 

After training as a primary school teacher in Ireland, he made a shift into the world of startups and entrepreneurship. 

Now based in Dubai, he’s building a healthtech company focused on improving how hospitals manage international patients and medical tourism.

We talk about the mindset behind making big life changes, what it’s really like to build a startup in Dubai, and the lessons learned from stepping into a completely different career path.

We chat on all things taking risks, failures, adaptability, and what it takes to keep moving forward when you decide to go big
