Unfiltered Business
Business is brutal. Some days, you feel like an astronaut flying in space, and others feel like a dump truck is driving over you. The rollercoaster towards a never-ending goldmine is wild.
For me, it pulled my personality and insecurities apart. But in return, it helped me rebuild a better version through the myriad of mistakes I made and the journey from failure to outcome.
I’m here to give you my unfiltered journey, in the hopes you realise that pushing yourself is the greatest gift of all.

Ep #1: Why No One Tells You How Hard It Is
Starting a business isn’t just about cash flow or cool logos — it’s a daily battle with your own head. In this first episode of Unfiltered Business, Shehan opens up about the real side of entrepreneurship, mental health, and why running a small business is tougher (and more rewarding) than anyone admits.
He talks about:
- The midnight panic attacks that convinced him his wife was pregnant (she wasn’t)
- Losing a best friend because they started a business wrong, and how that changed how he builds partnerships today
- Why your mindset and emotional health might be more important than your business plan
If you’re building a business, thinking of becoming a founder, or knee-deep in startup chaos, this episode is for you.
Only a 5 minute listen — quick enough for a coffee break, real enough to make you rethink why you started.
Follow Unfiltered Business for more raw takes on business ownership, leadership, offshoring, burnout, and trying to balance it all with family life.
