Tenacity with Sonia C.

by Sonia Couto

A top 2% globally ranked podcast about what it takes to build in business, leadership, and life. Tenacity is the discipline to keep building when the path is unclear, refusing to let fear, pressure, or uncertainty make your decisions for you. Every conversation digs into the pivots, failures, restarts, and the growth that came from them. Guests share what happened when things fell apart, what they did next, and what they learned the hard way, with actionable takeaways founders can apply to shape long-term success. Our guests are founders and leaders who have built and rebuilt after failure, started over after major life disruption, or built success in rooms not built for them. Hosted by Sonia Couto, a Toronto-based tech founder who has been starting over her whole life, rebuilding failed products, leading three companies through a breast cancer diagnosis, and turning every restart into something stronger. New episodes weekly. Learn more at soniacouto.com
