For those who built something real — without the perfect plan, without waiting for permission.

I’m Jeanieva, and I created this show to spotlight the raw, unfiltered journeys behind titles we think we understand.

But this podcast isn’t just for CEOs. It’s for anyone creating, pivoting, or simply figuring it out as they go. It’s for the ones who’ve thought: “This wasn’t part of the plan… but maybe it’s exactly where I’m meant to be.”
