Entrepreneurship Unfiltered

Nobody warns you that hiring mistakes feel personal. They don't just cost you money, they shake your confidence and make you question your judgment as a leader.In this episode Ibiyemi gets honest about the hiring decisions she regrets, the red flags she saw and ignored anyway, and the real cost of keeping someone on longer than she should have. And then there's the dilemma: a team member who is technically good at her job but has an attitude that is draining the energy out of everything. Do you keep her because the work gets done or do you find someone else? It's not as simple as it sounds.If you've ever hired someone and quietly wondered what you were thinking, this episode is for you.

Nobody talks about the embarrassing side of entrepreneurship and this episode goes there. Ibiyemi gets vulnerable about the money mistakes that didn't just hurt her bank account but messed with her confidence too.From a $10K program she bought at her lowest point hoping it would change everything, to the Brainz Magazine opportunity that sounded prestigious and delivered nothing, to a friend who bulk bought 300 bags of cement to save money only for her construction project to stall and watch it all turn to rocks, this episode is full of those painfully relatable moments where the plan made total sense until it didn't.If you've ever spent money on your business and wondered what you were actually buying, this one will hit home.

This is the episode where it all begins. In this first episode, Ibiyemi introduces herself, the podcast and the real reason she started it. From falling into entrepreneurship by accident, to navigating self doubt, imposter syndrome and the pressure of building something from scratch, this is the behind the scenes conversation that LinkedIn never shows you.If you've ever wondered whether you're cut out for this, whether your mistakes disqualify you, or whether anyone else is struggling the way you are, this one's for you. Pull up a seat. You're in good company.
