This Is Jolina (And She’s Mildly Allergic to Playing It Safe)

A third-person narrator style short about my real startup journey — from a failed dessert café, a breakup, and rock bottom… to moving to California with $500 and taking on $80K in credit card debt to build my next company to $10M. I wanted to tell a founder story in a way that felt cinematic, funny, and emotionally honest — not polished or preachy. This piece blends character-driven narration, fast pacing, and self-aware humor to turn entrepreneurial chaos into a compelling story.
