In this deeply personal episode of The Peswa Podcast, we sit down with Hayet Rida, founder of KHOI, to talk about creativity, entrepreneurship, failure, reinvention, love, loss and the difficult process of learning how to keep going.

Hayet's journey to building KHOI was anything but conventional.

A creative strategist and longtime content creator, she turned years of experience in advertising, branding and community-building into a sculptural accessories brand that has grown from an unexpected opportunity into an internationally recognised creative business.

KHOI began in 2022, after a failed jewelry collaboration left Hayet with thousands of dollars worth of packaging. Instead of seeing the setback as the end, she turned it into the beginning of something of her own.In this conversation, Hayet opens up about grief, love and what it means to continue living and building when life doesn't go according to plan.She speaks honestly about the emotional reality of loss, the pressure to keep functioning, the role of work and creativity in processing difficult seasons, and what she has learned about resilience, vulnerability and moving forward.This isn't just a conversation about building a jewelry brand.It's a conversation about building a life — losing part of it — and finding the courage to keep creating.

This is one of our most vulnerable conversations yet.Watch, listen and share your thoughts with us.

In this episode of The Peswa Podcast, we sit down with Eldad Nutakor, founder of Oxygene, for a powerful and deeply reflective conversation on ideas, purpose, and what it truly means to build.

Eldad shares a unique perspective on ideas—challenging the notion that they are simply created, and instead exploring the belief that ideas often come from the divine. He explains why ideas matter, not just as tools for business, but as responsibilities tied to purpose.

The conversation goes deeper into his belief that entrepreneurial greatness cannot be fully taught. While skills can be learned, he argues that true builders are often called, not made. This is why there can only be one Elon Musk and one Mark Zuckerberg—not because others lack ambition, but because greatness is rooted in individuality.

Eldad introduces a powerful idea: “You cannot be anything you want to be, but you can be everything you were created for.” He challenges the culture of limitless possibility and instead calls for alignment with purpose.

We also explore the importance of the inner life—the unseen foundation that shapes everything outward. From discipline to identity, Eldad explains why who you are internally determines what you can sustain externally.

This episode will shift how you think about ideas, success, and your place in the world.
