About Episode

· How did the shame overtake Nadira’s life and how did she control it?

· What was her turning point?

· How has Nadira changed her mindset and addressed the challenges she continues to face?

We hear the stories that glorify entrepreneurial success but rarely do we hear about the ones that failed. Nadira Yusoff is an impressive woman. She built a successful computer hardware business from scratch, in a world dominated by men in Malaysia. All whilst juggling her responsibilities as a single mother raising six children. But when the business went south overnight, she found herself left out in the cold.

Nadira joins NAKED to talk about the loneliness she experienced when she found herself at rock bottom. And for the first time in our series, we hear about ‘shame’. Something we all carry with us but are often not aware of. The shame we feel when the business fails, because it feels we failed our customers, our employees, our investors or our families. How do you put on a brave face everyday because you don’t want your family to worry? How do you come out of it?
