Fayl Tales
Behind every startup success story is a trail of mistakes, pivots, broken plans and brilliant comebacks.
Fayl Tales is the podcast where entrepreneurs, founders, investors and early employees share the real side of building something new - the failures that shaped them, the lessons they learned the hard way, and the resilience it takes to keep going.
Hosted by Loveth, each episode dives into the raw, funny and honest moments most business stories leave out - so you can learn faster, fail smarter, and feel less alone on your own journey.
Follow the show for weekly conversations that prove: failure isn’t the end, it’s part of the story.

Move With the Fear: Roxane Bandini-Maeder on Building Climate Tech
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Some founders build products. Others build the future.
In this episode of Fayl Tales, I sit down with Roxanne Bardini-Medio, CEO and co-founder of Geoneon, a climate tech company using geo-intelligence and data science to help governments and communities prepare for natural disasters like bushfires, floods, and deforestation.
Roxanne shares her journey from earth sciences and disaster risk research to building a bootstrapped climate tech startup in Australia, alongside her husband and co-founder, without external investment.
We cover:
- Why disaster preparedness matters more than response
- Bootstrapping a climate tech company through consulting → product
- Balancing scientific integrity with startup speed
- The emotional reality of entrepreneurship and founder resilience
- Working with governments, NGOs, and global partners across Australia, Bhutan, and Laos
- How to understand your risk tolerance and move forward even when failure feels close
This episode is for founders, operators, and anyone interested in climate technology, disaster risk reduction, geospatial data, and mission-driven startups.
