What would you do if you were diagnosed with cancer, had $5,000 in your bank account, and were about to start a business?

That’s exactly what happened to Georgios Frangulis.

In this episode of the Money Buys Happiness Podcast, we sit down with the founder of Oakberry — the global açaí powerhouse that grew from one small kiosk in Brazil to over 1,000 stores worldwide.

But the story behind Oakberry is even crazier than the growth.

Georgios opens up about how a cancer diagnosis changed his life, how a small insurance payout helped fund the first Oakberry store, and how he turned a simple idea into one of the fastest-growing food franchises in the world.

We also dive into his life outside of business — including his relationship with Aryna Sabalenka, one of the biggest stars in professional tennis, and how high performance in sports and entrepreneurship often share the same mindset.

Today Oakberry operates in dozens of countries, and Georgios has expanded his ambitions beyond food — even stepping into the world of football ownership with Le Mans FC.

In this conversation we break down:

• The insane story of starting Oakberry after a cancer diagnosis

• How Oakberry scaled from 1 store to 1,000+ locations globally

• The branding strategy that allowed Oakberry to dominate the açaí category

• Why the biggest business opportunities are often hiding in plain sight

• The mindset required to build a global franchise brand

• The parallels between elite athletes and elite entrepreneurs

• His relationship with tennis superstar Aryna Sabalenka

If you’re interested in entrepreneurship, building global brands, scaling franchises, startup growth, or the mindset of world-class founders, this episode is packed with insights.Check out Georgios:
