    “Image Over Impact” is not just about logos and likes — it’s a raw exploration of what happens when branding races ahead of execution, and identity starts to blur with visibility. This isn’t a masterclass in marketing. It’s a reckoning. Through personal stories and hard-earned lessons, four founders reflect on what it’s like to build in the spotlight — and what it costs to keep showing up when the backend is broken. 🔱 In the Arena – Featured Guests: Jesse Moore – Co-Founder, M-KOPA 🔗 LinkedIn / jesse-moore-a366873 A case study in building big without becoming the face. Jesse unpacks how product-market fit — not personal fame — scaled M-KOPA to millions. Wandia Gichuru – Co-Founder, Vivo Fashion Group 🔗 LinkedIn / wandiagichuru When the brand becomes you. Wandia reflects on public pressure, image fatigue, and the emotional toll of always being "on." Ian Ngethe – Founder, Raiser Resource Group 🔗 LinkedIn / ian-t-ng-ethe-5ba524b Ian shares how he built trust-based, service-driven ventures without ever putting himself front and center — and why invisibility can be a strength. Michael Macharia – Host & Founder, Ponea Health & Seven Seas 🔗 LinkedIn / mikemachariaponea Michael reflects on what happens when your face is the company — and how to scale beyond the founder persona.
