At the tender age of 27, Winnie has seen it all. The mother of a four-year-old boy has experienced loss untold - and it all started when she became an orphan at the age of three and went to live with her maternal grandmother. Thus started her fight against anxiety and depression while still in high school - and yet, the spirit of entrepreneurship grew strong in her.

She started off pitching various ideas and innovations to potential investors, none of which went through. However, it was while she was at university that she experienced business success selling sweet treats. That business eventually collapsed, but it taught her a lot about sustaining a business in the face of growing competition and market resistance.

Today she is an SEO expert, author and blogger, and she's learned enough to teach all of us how to navigate mental health issues, business failure and success... and the loss of loved one. Listen on the hear the full story.

Actor, comedian, film director and scriptwriter Mugambi Nthiga continues where he left off - after his return to Kenya in the late 2000s, when he walked into what he calls "the most toxic work environment I have ever been in," in the advertising industry.

As that was happening, his romantic relationship was also dying, and he was starting to feel the pressure - until his friends who had formed a musical group called 'Just A Band' approached him to play a part in the video for their song 'Ha-He'. The video ended up going viral all over the world, with a character called 'Makmende' who they created.

However, while the video was becoming a global phenomenon, it didn't quite fill the financial and career expectations that Mugambi had had. And thus started his journey living with mental health issues.

In this often hilarious interview, Mugambi provides important background and context to Kenya's entertainment industry, including his experiences working on some of Kenya's biggest movie projects, and how one of them triggered yet another episode of clinical depression.

Listen in to hear how he navigated his depression, how they inspired him to seek movie projects that explore and explain mental health, and what he now knows about failure, success and happiness.

Mugambi Nthiga doesn't look like he has experienced any 'failures', being that he is a highly awarded actor and director, and comedian of note.

But he has.

And he's here to detail every part of his struggle with mental health issues, and how he got over them.

Listen in to find out more about how he recognised the struggle he was facing, and stay tuned for Part 2 to understand what he did to survive and thrive thereafter.
