What would you do if you were at the height of your entrepreneurial career and overnight you were wrongfully accused of fraud and get put on Interpol's most wanted list?!
This is not your ordinary hero's journey of a successful entrepreneur. Growing up with humble beginnings in a small leafy town in Poland, Marek Zmyslowski found early success as an entrepreneur in various industries, which later took him to Africa where he focused on online businesses and renewable energy. He built Jumia Travel - Africa's biggest hotel booking portal listed on the NYSE. (Side note, he's a multiple times Tedx Speaker. One of his talks has garnered more than 1.8MM views). His fast-growing success made him some enemies, which led him to be victim of stereotypes and overnight put him on Interpol's most wanted list.
He shares part of his gripping story of how unlawfully and wrongfully being accused turned a terrifying experience into the biggest test of his character, mental strength and resilience to overcome unfathomable adversity. Marek's hollywood-movie-like personal story (which was turned into a book called Chasing Black Unicorns) will hook you, but his humility and lessons in mental resilience will inspire you, even if you're not an entreprenuer.
