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 #7 - Failing Upwards
In business, failure isn’t just part of the story — it is the story.
In this episode of Unfiltered Business, Shehan unpacks how his biggest stuff-ups became the very reason things grew — even when it didn’t feel like it at the time.
He shares:
- The business mistakes that still sting years later
- What he learned from losing clients, hiring the wrong way, and winging it way too often
- How failure became a teacher — not a roadblock
If you’re in the early years of running a business, and everything feels like trial by fire, this episode is a reminder that you’re not alone — and you’re probably learning faster than you think.
It’s not about bouncing back perfectly. It’s about owning your missteps, learning out loud, and realising that failing isn’t the opposite of progress — it’s usually the cause of it.
A quick listen for anyone who’s screwed something up lately and wondered if they’re cut out for this.
