The story

After hitting rock bottom in my 30s—homeless in Vama Veche—I decided to fight back. By 41, I founded Voxa, Romania’s largest audiobook company, valued at 10 million euros, and created “I Love Failure.”

Hi, I’m Mester Catalin, a serial entrepreneur with 20+ years of experience, community builder, and speaker, on a mission to help people overcome the fear of failure—especially in business, where vulnerability is often seen as weakness.
