Trust Recovery – Rebuilding After the Fall | Founders Battlefield EP 16 PART 1 #foundersbattlefield

When a founder falls, what really breaks — the business or the belief behind it? African founders unpack what it means to lead again after betrayal, burnout, breakdown — or being broken by the very systems they tried to fix. They share how grief can birth clarity, how leadership evolves post-collapse, and why real strength lies not in scaling — but in surviving with soul intact. 🔱 Founder Participants – “In the Arena” Michael Macharia – HOST – Founder, Seven Seas Technologies & Ponea Health 🔗 LinkedIn : / mikemachariaponea From lawsuits to loss, Michael shares his crucible moments — including a billion-shilling contract termination — and how he rebuilt by separating ego from essence, and identity from impact. Tesh Mbaabu – Co-Founder, MarketForce | CEO, Chpter 🔗 LinkedIn : / teshmbaabu Once the face of Kenya’s VC boom, Tesh opens up about raising $42M, losing it all, and choosing clarity over headlines in his newest venture. He speaks candidly about investor betrayal, grief, and regaining self-trust. Dr. Moka Lantum – Founder & CEO, CheckUps Medical (Sagitarix Ltd) 🔗 LinkedIn : / drmokalantum From jail cells in South Sudan to system sabotage in Kenya, Moka’s story is a masterclass in surviving public crucifixion. He reflects on choosing purpose over comfort, and fighting to protect integrity when the state weaponizes suspicion. Sarah Karingi – CEO, Sarma Enterprises | The Queen of Networking 🔗 LinkedIn : / sarahkaringi After widowhood, a devastating business fire, and major financial setbacks, Sarah stood again — this time with deeper spiritual clarity. Her story of resilience, single motherhood, and personal reinvention inspires a new kind of strength: rebuilding for legacy, not just survival. Thank you for watching this video.
