What happens when you build a business before you’re fully prepared for it and then have the courage to let it go?

In this episode, Andrea speaks with Munay Zamorano, entrepreneur, mentor, and founder of the Female Founder Academy. Born in Germany to Chilean and US-American roots, Monaisa reflects on growing up between cultures, buying her first company at twenty-three, navigating German bureaucracy, and learning when growth becomes misalignment.

They talk about business succession instead of the usual startup myth, the emotional reality of entrepreneurship, failure as a learning space rather than a flaw, and why migrants are often more willing to take entrepreneurial risks. Monaisa also shares how her multicultural background shapes her leadership style, why she never struggled with impostor syndrome, and what she sees every week working with founders across Germany.

A grounded conversation about ambition without burnout, structure without rigidity, and why sometimes the most radical move is knowing when to sell, rest, and begin again.

Perfect listening for anyone building something new in Germany or questioning whether the path they’re on still fits.
