"I eventually crashed that first life when I became overleveraged. So, you know, you borrow money to pay salaries, and you don't understand the dynamics; you're not paying attention to your numbers... I struggled. I literally came to a halt." - Emmanuel Tarfa (Partner & Co-Founder, Enzo, Krypton & Company).
On this episode, we explore Emmanuel's first life in business, which covers him having his first "pop" at the age of 12, studying Economics at the University of Abuja, and starting Conceptual Initiatives & Youth Development. We also talk about the serendipitous meet Emmanuel had with Chukwuka Monye which became the biggest blessing of his life, as well as the entrepreneurship mistake he made twice which led to a dark period and ended his first life in business. In Emmanuel's words, he literally came to a halt.
Today, Emmanuel is a Partner & Co-Founder at Enzo, Krypton & Company, and he's on a mission to replicate himself into 1 million youths towards solving the human capital development crisis he believes is crippling the Nigerian market.
