ENTREPRENEURS’ CONFESSIONS: MY F*CK-UPS

Episode 2 — What I Wish I Knew Before Starting

Behind every successful entrepreneur is a decision they got wrong, money they wish they had spent differently and a lesson they had to learn the hard way.

MY F*CK-UPS brings entrepreneurs into the hot seat to share the stories that usually stay behind closed doors.

No polished success speeches. No pretending everything went according to plan. Just honest conversations about what went wrong, what it cost and what they would do differently today.

For Episode 2, we’re bringing together entrepreneurs with very different journeys across investment, sustainability, technology, e-commerce and real estate.

Featured Guests

Tobi Nagy

Director, PT. Infinite Wisdom Investments

Tobi is a sustainability-driven serial entrepreneur with more than 33 years of experience across sustainability, commodities, ecotourism, investment and business education.

After investing in businesses in Bali and overseas, founding Infinite Wisdom Investments and helping structure finance for impact-driven projects, Tobi has seen how purpose, capital and execution do not always move in the same direction.

He will share lessons from investing, raising capital and building businesses that must balance commercial results with long-term impact.

Daniel Carlin

Founder, Ecomm Mastery

Daniel built and sold a multiple seven-figure e-commerce business that he started from scratch.

Along the way, he learned that a business can look successful on paper without being profitable, organised or ready to sell. He founded Ecomm Mastery to help other founders understand the profit and exit lessons he had to learn himself.

Daniel will share what he got wrong, what surprised him and what founders should understand before trying to scale or sell their business.

Neill Kramer

Founder, Together With Kai

Neill is a US expat, lifelong entrepreneur and co-founder of Together With Kai. Having started his entrepreneurial journey at just 12 years old, he brings decades of experience across technology, e-commerce, real estate and early-stage ventures.

Neill will share lessons from building, exiting, investing, pivoting and starting again—and what years of entrepreneurship have taught him about people, timing and making decisions when there is no clear answer.

What to Expect

Each featured guest will take the hot seat and share a personal business f*ck-up, followed by questions exploring:

• What they believed at the time

• What actually went wrong

• The warning signs they missed

• What the mistake cost them

• What they learned from the experience

• What they would do differently if they started again

The conversation will then move into the audience.

You may be invited to introduce yourself, share what connected with you and talk about a mistake or lesson from your own journey. Participation is always voluntary—but honest stories are encouraged.

This event is for entrepreneurs, founders, investors and business owners who:
