Episode 6 was a marathon of inspiration—90 minutes of raw stories about failure, trauma, and the grit required to build something lasting. We heard from three trailblazing women: Elselund, Annabella, and Mavis.

The Power of the Pivot

Elselund Ewudzie-Sampson, founder of Big Samps Market, dropped a truth bomb: she failed three times before building the grocery delivery powerhouse she runs today. Her secret? Radical listening. By taking even the most painful feedback seriously, she revolutionized her business model and now supports local farmers across Ghana.

Annabella Aso Darryl-Mensah of ABM Art Integrate shared a deeply personal perspective on how trauma responses can affect our business decisions. By learning to handle disappointment with new mental tools, she’s built a successful interior design and creative coaching firm while raising a family.

We also touched on the logistical side of business with Mavis of Balance Body & Mind, who explained how she’s structured her personal training business to handle international pricing and cross-border service delivery.
