In this episode, we have a conversation with Rodney Carew. He is the Head of Open Capital Advisors Zambia. They are a financial consulting firm unleashing the entrepreneurial talent in Zambia by enabling startups to become investment ready as well as guiding investors on how to inject their capital. We talked about his upbringing and the challenges and joys he has had getting to where he is now. It was a very thoughtful episode so I hope you enjoy it.
