There’s a certain kind of builder who doesn’t follow a clear path… they discover it by walking it.

 In this episode, we sit down with Silyana Bojilova, a serial entrepreneur and consultant whose journey spans survival, reinvention, and ultimately finding purpose through helping others build.

From growing up in Bulgaria and navigating major life disruptions early on… to moving abroad, struggling through years of uncertainty, and eventually returning home to rebuild from scratch, Silyana’s story is one of resilience in its purest form. Nothing was linear. Nothing was guaranteed. But each step… even the messy ones… stacked into something meaningful.

What makes this conversation stand out is how her path evolved. Through failed experiments, side projects, burnout, and unexpected wins, she didn’t chase a perfect plan… she followed curiosity. That mindset eventually led her into consulting, startups, and mentorship, where she now helps others move faster by sharing what she’s learned along the way.

At its core, this episode is about trusting yourself when the path isn’t clear… and building anyway.
