Teen Mum at 17 to Founder: Why Your First Business Should Cost Time, Not Money

Show notes

Adile Hoxha had her son in Year 12. By 27 she had a 10-year-old, a Sydney Uni degree and a corporate career. Then she moved to the Philippines, lobbied senators, and started a plant-milk import business that nearly broke her.

We talk about what raising a child at 17 teaches you about resilience, why your first business should cost you time and not money, the question that replaced "why me?", the social media contract she made her son sign, going viral after 83 TikToks, and what an OpenAI director wouldn't answer at a Sydney event.
