Welcome to The Grit Makers Podcast Episode 9 of the Season 2In this insightful episode, "Entrepreneurs In Resilience," your host Mouna Laaragat welcomes three incredible guests to discuss what resilience truly means in life and business, challenging the common stereotypes of "just push through".We dive deep into the essential systems needed for building a long-term, sustainable business, and how to maintain mental health sustainability while navigating challenges.Featured Grit Makers & Key Insights:Robyn MacMillan, The Marketing Goblin (Digital Media Agency Founder): Robin defines resilience as the quiet choice to decide to actually continue forward, even when circumstances are challenging. She shares her deeply personal story of suffering a severe brain bleed in 2014, which changed her path from "knowing to not knowing" and forced her to find a new level of resilience. Robin also discusses the key polarities she addresses with founders, primarily belief and fear in outsourcing marketing.Connect with her: https://www.linkedin.com/in/everburnagencyrobynkate/Bilqis Razin (Sustainability Business, Foodsteps): Working in sustainability, Bilqis discusses helping food businesses prepare for climate resilience through data and insights. She highlights the crucial battle businesses face between striving for profitability and balancing that with "doing the right thing" for people and the planet. Bill Kiss also shares her experience moving to the UK and learning that in the corporate world, working hard isn't enough—you need to ask for what you want.Connect with her: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bilqisrz/Amitty Peace (Operational Resilience Specialist): Amitty emphasises that true resilience is about having transparency and understanding of your business's ingredients (strengths and weaknesses) so you can make informed choices and respond effectively to the unknown. She argues that we need to reframe sustainability and resilience as a return on investment (ROI), helping businesses see these concepts as key success metrics rather than trade-offs.Connect with her: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amittypeace/This Episode addresses:- Why the traditional, 'loud' definition of resilience often fails and how softness and quietness can be more effective.- The human aspect of business: acknowledging that people are not predictable and do not share the same values or perspectives.- Juggling the polarities of life and business, such as control versus letting go.- How cultural differences impact expectations, self-promotion, and the ability to ask for help.- Final Wisdom: Why community is essential for adapting to change ("find your tribe") and why you should not expect yourself from other people.If you resonated with any of these stories or concepts, please share your own definition of resilience in the comments below.#Resilience #Entrepreneurship #TheGritMakers #OperationalResilience #Sustainability #ClimateResilience #MarketingGoblin #Adaptability #BusinessMindset #Founders #PersonalStories #MentalHealthSustainability #QuietChoice #Community #FemaleLeaders
