Loading player...
What happens when your better half becomes your business partner? In this explosive Fail Forward Friday episode, Malesela, Roche, and special guest Tebogo Mahlo pull back the curtain on the messy, chaotic, and sometimes beautiful reality of mixing love and entrepreneurship.

💔 Tebogo’s Shocking Confession: She jumped into business with her partner just two months into dating, what could go wrong? Spoiler: Everything. Resentment, power struggles, and even romance dying, all because they didn’t set one crucial rule.

đź’Ľ The Couple Who NEVER Separates: Meet the married duo who work side-by-side 24/7, share one phone, and still keep the spark alive. How do they switch from boardroom battles to bedtime cuddles without losing their minds?

🤯 "Why Is John Texting You at 9 PM?!" The real reason most business-power couples crash and burn isn’t money, it’s unspoken jealousy, blurred boundaries, and the danger of bringing fights from the bedroom to the business.

⚖️ CEO vs. Lover: Can a woman truly lead in business while her man takes the back seat? Or does society, and ego, always get in the way? The panel clashes over who should call the shots.

đź’Ł "We Almost Broke Up Over a Client Handshake!" The unexpected moments that nearly destroyed partnerships, and the hard lessons that saved them.

🚨 Final Verdict: Should you ever go into business with your partner? Malesela says HELL NO. Roche and Tebogo disagree, but their reasons will shock you.
