After being fired three times, I started my entrepreneurial journey in 2012 at the age of 19, with no formal business education. I built a nut butter business, founded Coastline Kitesurfing—one of Cape Town's largest watersports schools at the time—launched an SEO marketing agency, and created what began as a personal blog but quickly grew to reach millions of people, employing a team of 10+ scientific experts from around the world. In 2024, I’ve shifted my focus to podcasting with "disrupt." This new venture allows me to explore the raw, unfiltered realities of entrepreneurship through conversations with other founders and, most importantly, to NEVER STOP LEARNING. My goal is to share my guests’ stories as authentically as possible, providing you with the inspiration and detailed knowledge you need to bring your own startup ideas to life.
