    Ep. 012 – Our first steps into the investor world
    Jul 17 2025
    This week, we dive into the wild world of getting investors — a conversation sparked by Saoirse’s very real fundraising conversations this week, and Alba’s very real nerves pitching to actual investors for the first time.


    We break down what funding even means: bootstrapping vs grants vs giving away equity (aka dilutive money — yep, we had to Google it too). We talk about the mental load of fundraising, the emotional rollercoaster of pitching, and whether either of us actually wants investors. Spoiler: we’re divided.


    Also, we play a cheeky game of "Who Would You Invest In?" and unpack red flags we’ve seen (and maybe thrown) when it comes to asking for money.


    This episode is for you if you’re building something and wondering: do I need investors? What kind? How do I even start? Or if you just want to laugh along as we figure it all out, one confusing term and overly honest pitch at a time.

    Ep. 011 – How to work with Friends & Family (without ruining the relationship)
    Jul 10 2025

    It starts with good intentions: a friend wants to hire you, a cousin needs a website, your partner offers to help with marketing. But somewhere between the first “no worries” and the tenth unpaid revision… things get complicated.


    In Episode 11 of We Will Manage, we explore the real, sometimes messy, always human side of working with loved ones.

    We talk about:

    • Why it feels easier to work with people you love — and why it’s actually not
    • The blurred lines between friendship and professionalism
    • Listener dilemmas that hit way too close to home (yes, that friend who still hasn’t paid you)
    • Boundaries, awkward conversations, and when to just say no


    This one’s part cautionary tale, part group therapy — with some laughs, some hard truths, and a lot of “OMG, same.”

    Press play and let us know: would you work with a friend again?

    Ep. 010 – How companies actually work
    Jul 3 2025
    This one’s for the nerds (us). We finally get into… organizational structures. Wait, come back! It’s actually super interesting — promise.


    Saoirse breaks down what vertical, horizontal, matrix, and Spotify-style structures even are, while Alba tries to figure out where her future branding empire fits in. We talk through our own workplaces, compare notes on Netflix’s vacation chaos, and play a little game of “Flat or Stacked?” (it’s like Tinder for org charts).


    In this episode:– How startups can go from chaotic to clear (without losing the magic)– The pros and cons of being the boss (or having one)– Real-world org charts from Apple, Amazon, John Lewis & more– Why “two pizza teams” might be the most iconic phrase of the season– Whether we’d thrive in a massive corporate or a tiny team with big dreamsAnd no, we still don’t fully understand what a guild is.
