We’ve reached Episode 5 of Meet The Founders, and the insights just keep getting deeper. This week, we were joined by Rosalyn (Africa Dyslexia Organisation) and Pearl (Juweel Fashion) for a deep dive into the practicalities of passion projects.

We touched on the “unsexy” side of business: staffing challenges, managing complex sales processes, and the constant dance of communicating a mission to stakeholders who might not see the vision immediately.
