About

This channel is my weekly diary as a founder - the unfiltered reality of building, creating, and living. I'm Vanessa, and I walked away from a multi-seven-figure info product business to start over and create something more aligned. Now I'm building Superboba (a superfood milk tea brand) with my husband Leon while navigating life, entrepreneurship, content creation, and everything in between. If you like real behind-the-scenes founder life, lessons on content creation and building a brand from scratch, and the personal side of navigating the messy middle - you'll feel at home here.
