Welcome to the first ever solo episode of Fayl Tales.
After interviewing founders across Vienna, Sydney, Melbourne and Tasmania, Loveth has noticed the same themes appearing again and again, regardless of industry, experience or geography. In this episode, she unpacks the truths founders whisper privately, the lessons they wish they’d learned earlier, and why failure is rarely catastrophic but always transformative.
You’ll hear insights on:
• Why hesitation breaks more companies than bold moves
• Why product doesn’t kill startups, people do
• The emotional skill set founders underestimate
• The messy middle: that foggy space where you’re too far to quit but too early to win
• How co-founder dynamics can make or break everything
• Why chaos is normal (even for founders with exits)
• Why failure isn’t the opposite of success, it’s part of it..
Loveth also shares, for the first time, the behind-the-scenes of building Fayl Tales:
the fear, the self-doubt, the shift from corporate to creative, posting online as a private person, the growth of the show, and her vision for where it’s going next, across Australia and eventually globally.
If you’re in that foggy middle right now, wondering whether something is failing you or you’re failing it, this episode will give you language, comfort and a reminder that you’re not alone. Even founders who’ve exited $100M companies are still figuring it out one step at a time.
