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 #17 - Control and Leadership in Business
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In today’s episode, Shehan gets honest about something most founders secretly struggle with: control.
When you’re building something from scratch, control feels necessary. It gives you certainty, structure, and safety. But over time, it can quietly become the thing that holds your business and your team back.
He shares how he went from being a proud control freak (across every client file, email, and pixel of the brand palette) to learning the art of leadership; trusting people, setting direction, and creating clarity instead of chaos.
You’ll hear how this shift changed everything: his mindset, his team culture, and his business’s ability to grow.
This isn’t a management lecture. It’s a raw reflection on what happens when you stop holding the steering wheel so tightly and finally start leading.
