Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 9: Building a Brand Authentically, with Tennille Gay
Q: Has there been a moment where your values and desire to honor South Africa and making things here, has been in conflict with the actual margins that you're making?
Gay says margins are tight, but keeping production local matters more to her than moving manufacturing overseas. She wants Salty Red to support local families and preserve close relationships with the people making the clothing.
Ep 9: Building a Brand Authentically, with Tennille Gay
Q: What is the advice that you would give someone wanting to start a business like this?
Gay recommends starting with one thing, then letting the business grow while staying connected to the original reason for starting.
Ep 8: We Need to Talk About Money, with Seanice Kacungira
Q: Could you give us a brief overview of your career up to this point?
Seanice shares early entrepreneurial roots, her love of media, and how she built Blue Flamingo across multiple African markets before expanding to the UK, highlighting the unexpected twists and the role of leverage, branding, and opportunity rooms.
Ep 5: The Relentless Persuit of Better, with Cheyna Wood
Q: What were the biggest funding challenges, and who supported you?
Sponsorship was scarce for women in squash; a key sponsor was a local mentor who helped with early fabric trials, and family support provided the safety net to travel and compete.
Ep 5: The Relentless Persuit of Better, with Cheyna Wood
Q: How did you transition from professional squash to building Cheyna Dot?
The transition came from recognizing a need for better, more inclusive courtwear, learning pattern-making, and then gradually moving from a personal hobby to a full online store as COVID shifted the market.
