[17:10] – How do you overcome phases of imposter syndrome?

- No, business success does not necessarily equate to personal success.
- While my entrepreneurial journey has seen its share of highs and lows, personal fulfilment extends beyond professional achievements.

- Fall in love with the problem you’re solving.
- Embrace resilience, listen to your intuition, and prioritise self-awareness.
- Success is not defined by external validation but by the impact you create and the fulfilment you derive from your work.
- Trust in your journey, stay true to your values, and remember that every setback is an opportunity for growth.
