    The Hustle Behind Etsuka with Mimi Dumalaog | Hustleshare Ep 397

    Mimi Dumalaog never planned to become a founder. Growing up in Mindoro taught her how to work with limited resources, stay resourceful, and keep moving even when the path was unclear. That mindset took her from government and academia to a struggling tech startup, then to a ₱10,000 challenge that eventually became Etsuka. In this episode, Mimi shares lessons on pivoting, building systems from mistakes, founder loneliness, and why the biggest gap between you and the people you look up to may simply be how many times they were willing to try. 💡Follow Hustleshare on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ph/podcast/hustleshare 💡Visit Hustleshare Website: https://www.hustleshare.com/                          HustleShare is powered by PayMongo, the financial operating system for growing businesses.

    The Hustle Behind Mabu with Shiraz Dole | Hustleshare Ep 396

    Building Mabu meant proving that a problem everyone could see could also become a sustainable business. Shiraz Dole shares how Mabu grew from an idea into a food surplus marketplace built to create value for both businesses and consumers. Beyond food waste, this episode is about choosing the right partners, surviving rejection, and knowing when to keep going before the market validates you. It’s a conversation about resilience, sustainable growth, and building a company with a much longer horizon. 💡Follow Hustleshare on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ph/podcast/hustleshare 💡Visit Hustleshare Website: https://www.hustleshare.com/ HustleShare is powered by PayMongo, the financial operating system for growing businesses.
