Everyone shows their highlights on social media, but what happens when you quit a $115,000 career to bet on yourself and only make $500 in half a year?In this episode of the Sabi Cruise Podcast, we’re joined by Strive Auntie (Dolapo), a tech sales expert who is pulling back the curtain on her Failure Diary. We dive deep into the messy middle of entrepreneurship, the crushing shame of not performing, and why she ultimately doesn't regret taking the leap.If you’ve ever felt stuck in a safe 9-to-5 or wondered how to break into the tech ecosystem with zero experience, this conversation is for you. We also discuss why life is sales, from convincing your parents to let you travel at 14 to pitching for a promotion in just three months.
