The 5 Rules of Being an Entrepreneur with ⁨Cleo Loque⁩ of Hiraya Pilipina | Life in Progress Podcast

Author: Angely Dub December 20, 2025 Duration: 19:10

What happens when a young entrepreneur sits down with someone who’s spent over 14 years building companies from the ground up?
A conversation unfolds honest, grounded, and rich with lessons shaped by lived experience. From early risks to hard pivots, they exchange insights on growth, failure, intuition, and what it really takes to build something meaningful.


In this episode, Cleo Loque of Hiraya Pilipina and I came together to share personal stories from their entrepreneurial journeys—bridging generations, perspectives, and paths to success.



It’s easy to feel like you’re just moving through the motions, ticking boxes without really feeling any forward momentum. That’s the space where Life in Progress finds its voice. Host Angely Dub doesn’t pretend to have all the answers, but she creates a genuine space for exploring what it means to actually build a life, not just live one. Each episode feels like a candid conversation with a thoughtful friend, weaving together real-life stories and open-hearted discussions that touch on the messy intersection of our mental, physical, and emotional well-being. You’ll hear about the tangible stuff-navigating career pivots, setting fitness goals that stick, cultivating relationships-alongside the more subtle internal work of personal growth. Angely approaches it all with a relatable honesty that makes the journey feel shared. This podcast is for anyone who suspects there’s a better version of their life in the making and appreciates a companion for the road, offering both inspiration and practical tools to help you shape your own story as it unfolds. Tune in when you need a reminder that progress, not perfection, is the real point.
