As entertaining as her antics on the world's tallest building have been, it's worth noting that Smith-Ludvik has overcome many personal struggles to get to where she is today as a professional skydiver and stuntwoman who holds a world record for being the youngest person ever to skydive in all 50 of the United States.

As someone who is now considered to be a social media influencer and motivational speaker, Smith-Ludvik will speak with Entrepreneur Middle East Managing Editor Tamara Pupic on Against All Odds to explain the perseverance, determination, and drive needed to overcome one's fears and thus eventually realize success, using her own life experiences as an example.

Smith-Ludvik draws on her unique life story to inspire others with her message of hope, positivity, and courage. To reserve your spot for the Entrepreneur Middle East Live's Against All Odds webinar with Nicole Smith-Ludvik, at 7pm (UAE) on Thursday, February 10, 2022, please click here.
