About this episode

For this episode, I decide to take a different approach and use my entrepreneurial journey to address business questions sourced from Instagram about the path of building my company, BPN, from 2012 to January 2025.


I cover the biggest mistakes I've made, the transformative shifts in our business strategy, and insights on maintaining profitability while scaling. Alongside my experiences, I share valuable lessons on leadership, the importance of vision and intent, and our future plans, including international expansion.
