Less Interested in Looking Like a Startup, More Interested in Building a Business

In this episode, Naya opens up about her journey building GigSecure, from winning pitch competitions and receiving the Tony Elumelu Foundation grant to facing the humbling realities of regulated industries and distribution. She shares why recognition can create a false sense of progress and why she has become much less interested in looking like a founder and far more focused on building an actual business. Tune in for a thoughtful conversation on changing your mind, balancing a full-time job and family with a startup, and letting real evidence guide what you build.
