    How to Build a Business Together and Keep Going When Things Get Hard | Mo & Michelle Mokone

    What does it take to build a business with someone you love and keep going when the journey gets difficult? In this episode of Breaking the Glass, Vimbai sits down with sisters Morongwe “Mo” Mokone and Michelle Mokone, co-founders of Mo’s Crib, to unpack the reality behind building and growing a business together. They share what they have learned about resilience, adapting when the original plan no longer works, dividing responsibilities according to their individual strengths and staying solution-driven through the inevitable highs and lows of entrepreneurship. They also open up about the culture they have intentionally built at Mo’s Crib, why leading from the heart matters and how they have worked to grow the business without losing sight of the people and values at its core. In this conversation, you’ll hear: • Why resilience is about more than simply pushing through • How to work with a business partner whose strengths are different from your own • Why being willing to say “I don’t know” can make you a stronger founder • How company culture shapes the business you ultimately build • What it takes to keep adapting when progress feels slow An honest conversation about sisterhood, leadership, resilience and what it takes to keep building. - Breaking the Glass Season One is supported by Econet Wireless Great ideas thrive when people, opportunities and communities are connected.
