Episode notes

In this episode, we chat to Guidione Machava - a product designer and founder who has spent the last decade building products, communities, and companies across Africa and Europe.

We explored the topic of honesty in our personal and professional journeys and how self-honesty in assessing one's capabilities and ambitions can lead to the answers you seek. Guidione also shared how he balances between optimism and realism and how valuing direct feedback has become not only his love language but has changed his life.

The Feels is all about having those honest conversations, the power of community for personal growth and taking those actionable steps towards being our authentic selves.

Thanks for tuning in! Keep it raw and real out there x
