Part 2 is here. This half goes deeper than the first. Wamuyu and Tess get into who actually shows up for you in business (hint: not always who you'd expect), the discipline of scheduling rest before burnout demands it, and why "launching is the hard part" is a lie nobody warns you about. The heaviest turn: Tess opens up about her first business failing, not from bad instincts, but as fallout from a marriage quietly falling apart underneath it; and why that was never a personal failure. Part 1 dropped last week; this one completes the conversation.

Every expert was once a beginner, every successful business was once someone's terrifying first day. In Part 1 of this episode, Wamuyu and Tess get real about the chaos of building their own businesses: token meters nobody warned them about, a dental chair leak on opening day, and the five-decisions-a-day rule that's saved Tess's sanity. A conversation about structure, decision paralysis, and choosing yourself when the timing finally feels right. Part 2 drops August 28th 2026

Every quote has a story. This one costs more than most. Wamuyu and Tess Kangethe open the show with: "To be betrayed or cheated is a small price to pay for showing up in the world assuming the best in people." Wamuyu breaks down the friendship that fell apart on her spectacularly last December: the favors called in, the excuses made, the moment "friend" and "someone who's just useful to have around" stopped meaning the same thing. It's a real conversation about naivety, self-protection, and what it actually costs to keep showing up for people who don't deserve it.
