Build the Table: Stop Waiting for a Seat That Was Never Built for You

A fax machine saleswoman with $5,000 and a pair of scissors. A washerwoman earning $1.50 a day with a homemade formula and a dream. Neither was invited to any table in their industry. Neither had investors, connections, or permission. So they built their own.In this episode, Princess Otigbu unpacks the stories of Sara Blakely (founder of Spanx) and Madam C.J. Walker (America’s first female self-made millionaire) — two women separated by a century who share one thing in common: they stopped waiting for a seat and built tables that millions of people are still sitting at today.You’ll also get The Builder’s Blueprint , a practical four-step framework for identifying the gap no one is filling and building something that didn’t exist before. If you’ve been waiting for permission, an invitation, or the right moment — this episode is your redirect.
