In this episode of Lost in Tech, Lola Oyelayo-Pearson and Mamuna Oladipo get personal—talking about failure, false starts, and the internal shifts required to move forward in both life and work.

From failed driving tests to navigating ego, this episode is about the space between survival mode and self-awareness. It's where growth actually happens—if you're willing to set aside your ego, learn new things, and show up with honesty.

We talk about what happens when we finally ask ourselves what actually makes us happy, how hard that question can be to answer, and what to do when we feel stuck between doing what we know and becoming who we want to be.

This is one of those episodes that’s both soft and sharp—a conversation about identity, change, and being honest with yourself.

📌 In This Episode:

• How failure forces humility (and why that’s a good thing)

• What “passing the test” actually means—on and off the road

• The tension between ego and growth

• Asking yourself: What actually makes me happy right now?

• Why reflection beats perfection—every time
