We tackle the real challenges of entrepreneurship, like inconsistency and rejection, and Shaté provides valuable advice on how to reframe rejection as data and use it as a stepping stone in your journey.


We start talking about systems...how do we learn from our setbacks or disappointments, align with our work, earn money and avoid literal poverty, while making it all sustainable?
