In this interview segment, Daniel Siwiec recounts the sole major business failure he has experienced: launching a premium, low‑cost liquid disinfectant during the COVID‑19 pandemic. Initially, his product captured a niche market with high margins and strong quality, and he expected continued demand even after the pandemic subsided. However, the state‑owned oil giant Orlen flooded the market with a low‑quality, cheap disinfectant, distributing it for free to both public institutions and private companies. This aggressive, subsidised distribution eliminated demand for Siwiec’s product, left him with unsold inventory, forced him to pay for its disposal, and eventually led him to sell part of the stock for repurposing (extracting dyes and other substances for a different product). The story highlights the challenges of competing against a monopolistic state player, the risks of market disruption during crises, and the hard‑earned lessons about resilience and adaptability in entrepreneurship.
