In this candid Gen Z edition of Negotiation Secrets, I sit down with Abubakr Sajith— finance & IT professional and co-host of The Dollar Diaries — to unpack what it really looks like to fail fast, take risks, and negotiate your way back into the market when nothing is “perfect” yet.

From bankrupt startups and year-long unemployment to launching an 8-person podcast team, this episode dives into:

✨ How to turn “failed” ventures into your biggest learning and negotiation advantage

📚 Using gaps on your CV wisely through studying, teaching, and intentional skill-building

🤝 The real power of networking & referrals — and why generosity in helping others always comes back

👥 Setting ground rules, managing egos, and keeping gossip out of a young, diverse team

🎯 Letting go of perfectionism so you can actually ship your ideas and grow from feedback

Whether you’re in university, between jobs, or building something new on the side, this conversation will remind you that you don’t need perfect conditions to start — you just need to move. Learn to negotiate with yourself, with others, and with fear, then take one imperfect step forward toward the life you really want.
