From a humble beginning, Sir Mike Mulato Chilewe worked his way up from being a Meter Reader, and later as a Consumers Clerk at ESCOM. Through grace and shear grit he founded Mike's Welding Company and experienced an unbelievable rise to stardom as one of Malawi’s finest entrepreneurs.

From Mike’s Welding Company, he moved on to create Mike’s Steel and later grew the enterprise to Mike’s Trading Group. His business started with manufacturing steel windows frames, door frames and steel gates before diversifying into making vehicle trailers, vehicle canopies as well as truck bodies and boats that saw the company register tremendous financial growth.

To diversify the business, the Group also ventured into the hospitality industry before the enterprise started experiencing a tough financial storm which later saw the hard-earned prowess ebb away - moving Sir Mike into a new dimension of his entrepreneurial quest, where he has earned practical insights on how to build better and bigger.

In this interview he faithfully shares his massive knowledge and wisdom earned from the university of hard-knocks. This is the type of knowledge you don't just get from anywhere. If you truly care about our nation (the growth-agenda) and exponential entrepreneurial success for yourself and your network, this is the type of talks we must be having.

This is one interview I also simply came to learn, and I left Sir Mike to teach as I took notes.

I believe you will enjoy and learn as you push towards your destiny. I will be delighted if you can share the episode with your friends, family and networks. I will also appreciate your feedback via my email address [email protected].

In this Episode I talk to Ngabaghila Chatata, a leading Malawian horticulturist and agriprenuer, who has a strong passion for building the requisite skills for wealth creation among the local youth and women.

She is the Co-founder and Managing Director of Thanthwe Farms, and she is a multi-award winning entrepreneur with a solid resume spanning across agricultural and social sectors. 

Ngabaghila shares unique and deep insights into agricultural investments and how the banks and Government can become trusted catalysts for the required sustainability and development of the agricultural sector, and how the youth, women and the populace can take advantage of modern Government's interest in boosting productivity and commercialization of agriculture in Malawi. She further makes insightful commendations and recommendations towards the recently launched MW2063 Vision. 

Whether you just want some inspiration, or practical wisdom for your agripreneurship venture, this interview is something you should not afford to miss!
