Pivoting is an important aspect of any venture. We start with an idea and then a few weeks of months later, we find our market and pivot. In this episode, young entrepreneur Coralie Marti, from Gemstone, walks us through her entrepreneurship journey and focus on coherence.
Coralie goes back memory lane to explain how it all started and how she quickly realized the original idea was going nowhere.

Entrepreneurs Talk Africa had the pleasure of interviewing Ruth Kamau, Co-Owner and Managing Director of a Pan African feel boutique house, iKhaya Lodge & Conference Centre, in the heart of Cape Town. She is also a director and advisor on several boards, an award winning playwright and novelist, to name but a few of her many ventures.

In the episode we get to join Ruth on her personal journey of becoming an entrepreneur. As a woman of many talents and being involved in so much, we explore how and why she chooses to take on so much and how agility and resistance or as the Sci-fi lover would say, how being a shapeshifter is essential in order to survive and thrive with the changing times.
