In this episode, we have Adewale Adejumo, co-founder of DropStore and founder of Zasttra. He takes through his early journey as an entrepreneur, the highs and lows and how he has managed to deal with all the challenges that come with it.

Originally aiming to become a Scientist, Adewale took the turn to entrepreneurship when he realised that  he could make a living off of selling goods and merchandise shipped from China to local South Africans. Starting out with 1200 rands back in 2012, and managing to turn that into 300 000 rands in thte forst year alone. This later morphed into his venture with Zasttra, an e-commerce platform and then most recently partnering with Olufemi Baiyewu ot launch Dropstore.

For Adewale, learning and reading has been a key component in achieving this goals and also overcoming the trails of entrepreneurship. Reading close to 90 books a year has developed his business skill and acumen. On his top 3 most influential books are Exponential Organisation,  How to Win Friends and Influence People and The Code of the Extraordinary Mind.

Recently, Adewale has started a podcast called Happy Like Buddha,  which actively aims to share insights into how to better oneself and be a more beneficial and productive individual to community.
