Did I destroy it? Did I destroy it? I I so I was A little bit.
Speaker A 00:02:31 - 00:02:37
A little bit. Olga, thank you so much for being here on the show.
Olga Kirillova 00:02:38 - 00:02:42
I'm very, very happy to be here together with you. Thank you for having me.
Speaker A 00:02:42 - 00:02:51
It's a pleasure. So, Olga, I read this beautiful bio, an intro of you, but I wanna hear it from your own words. Tell us who you are.
Olga Kirillova 00:02:52 - 00:03:42
So, myself And my partner, who is also my husband's, like, so partner in life and in business, my cofounder. We're basically helping first time founders, like, to manage their mindset as they're building their business for the 1st time. Right? So, like, helping with the stress management, helping with productivity, helping with different business tools as well because we spend a lot of time in business. But it's basically you know, they haven't been on this journey now for 3 years and haven't seen dozens of people who who want to start this journey, especially if they worked in, I don't know, in corporate environment before, it's it's very difficult to to start at this stage. Sometimes it's much easier after university. Right? Like, after uni, after college, like, you just, you know, feel like the the wall is open for you so you can just, like, try and play around.
Speaker A 00:03:42 - 00:03:44
But if you work in so many responsibilities.
Olga Kirillova 00:03:45 - 00:04:07
Yes. And it's like, it's very difficult for people to start when they work, Like, in corporate environment for some years. I don't know if they work a decade, like like I did, like my husband did. Right? So, like, you have Kids. I don't know. Maybe you bought a house. You have, like, I don't know, some some loans to pay. So it's very, like, difficult journey to kind of, like, step out of corporate environment and start something of your own.
Olga Kirillova 00:04:08 - 00:04:16
Right. So that's something that we help with. So we don't want people to drop out, like, in the 1st year. Like, 90% of people do.
Speaker A 00:04:16 - 00:04:49
Yes. Because the digital entrepreneur or the entrepreneurial world is very, very hard because sometimes you're doing it all by yourself if you you have to. And there's no path. No one's written the path for you. They can create guideposts, which you guys are doing. But So it was I I wanna get into the the why of why you do what you do. And obviously we we talked a bit about how you were not happy with the life you were living, even though you were some people would say you had the most successful life. You were managing $1,000,000,000 businesses.
