In this episode of the Founder Diaries, host Yvonne Kanyi interviews Lynn Ngugi, a former senior associate at the international law firm Freshfields in London. Lynn explains why she left a secure, high‑paying position to launch her own law practice and a suite of related businesses under the B2Square brand (B2SquareKE.co). She describes the mentorship she received from senior counsel Muhammad Mwigai and Professor Githu Mwigai, which shaped her professional ethos. The conversation also covers her diversification into hospitality and real‑estate ventures with partners such as Sarovar Hotel Group, New Stanley and Panafric, as well as community initiatives in Thika and collaborations with KCA. Towards the end, Lynn shares her most recent personal investment—a garden and a landscaping venture called Lynn's Landscaping—highlighting her continued interest in tangible, asset‑based projects. Throughout, Lynn shares the practical challenges of starting a firm, the importance of media presence, and offers concrete advice for Kenyan entrepreneurs looking to transition from corporate roles to independent ventures.
