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.

I've Never Talked About My Own Failures. Until Now.

Ok so this one is different. No guest. Just me.
I've interviewed so many founders about their failures and mistakes but I realised I've literally never talked about my own. A few friends and guests have called me out on it too so here we are.
I also recap the first ever Fayl Tales Live event at Canva in Sydney, which sold out in four days (still a bit shocked about that). I talk about what worked, what I'd change, and what's coming next with Melbourne.
And then I get into my own failure. A sports recovery product I spent months developing with a chemist who just... ghosted me. No contract. No IP protection. Just blind faith that it would work out. Spoiler: it didn't.
I cover:
- How the Sydney event at Canva sold out in 4 days and what the format looked like
- Why I designed the event to feel like friends chatting, not a panel
- What's different about the Melbourne event at Stone and Chalk
- How the podcast has pivoted from failed startups only to founders actively building
- Why self-funding this has been the best investment I've ever made
- My sports recovery product that died because I trusted without a contract
- The lessons I should have learned way earlier about IP protection
This is me being vulnerable for once. More of this to come.
