SN3, Episode 8: The Host Becomes the Guest: Yvonne Kanyi's Untold Founder Story

Today's episode looks a little different.

We're switching seats — Yvonne is on the guest chair this time, interviewed by Victoria, Founder of Vspa, Thao Tree, and Titii Kenya. If you've ever wanted to know our host a little better, this is your chance. The conversation covers Yvonne's full entrepreneurial journey, building Beauty Square and Sage from the ground up, her journey into motherhood and how it reshaped her relationship with work, the moment that almost made her quit, and what it's actually taken to build a team that runs efficiently without her having to hold everything together herself.

This is Yvonne, unfiltered.
