I've Never Talked About My Own Failures. Until Now.
from Fayl Tales · host Loveth Ochayi
Ok so this one is different. No guest. Just me.I've interviewed so many founders about their failures and mistakes but I realised I've literally never talked about my own. A few friends and guests have called me out on it too so here we are.I also recap the first ever Fayl Tales Live event at Canva in Sydney, which sold out in four days (still a bit shocked about that). I talk about what worked, what I'd change, and what's coming next with Melbourne.And then I get into my own failure. A sports recovery product I spent months developing with a chemist who just... ghosted me. No contract. No IP protection. Just blind faith that it would work out. Spoiler: it didn't.I cover:How the Sydney event at Canva sold out in 4 days and what the format looked likeWhy I designed the event to feel like friends chatting, not a panelWhat's different about the Melbourne event at Stone and ChalkHow the podcast has pivoted from failed startups only to founders actively buildingWhy self-funding this has been the best investment I've ever madeMy sports recovery product that died because I trusted without a contractThe lessons I should have learned way earlier about IP protectionThis is me being vulnerable for once. More of this to come.Follow us on all platforms!Instagram ~ @fayltalesTiktok ~ @fayltales LinkedIn ~ @fayltales
