Description

Welcome to The Rev Room—where business gets personal. In this inaugural episode, BizRev’s very own François Geldenhuys opens up about the real road to becoming a resilient entrepreneur. From selling second-hand bottles as a teen to building one of South Africa’s leading advisory firms, François shares the pivotal moments, missteps, and mindset shifts that shaped his journey.

This isn’t just another business origin story—it’s a deep dive into what really makes or breaks a business: leadership, clarity, and the courage to pivot. Tune in for a raw, insightful conversation on entrepreneurship in a South African context—plus, powerful takeaways you can apply right now to your own venture.

3 Key Takeaways:

1. The Business Breakthrough Is You - Success isn’t just about strategy—it’s about the leader. François unpacks how the mindset and emotional maturity of a founder directly determine a business’s trajectory.
2. Metrics Matter, But Insight Is King - Learn why tracking the right numbers is only the beginning—and how developing the skill to interpret and pivot from data separates thriving companies from those that stall.
3. Loneliness, Leadership, and Leverage - Entrepreneurship is often a solo climb. François shares how isolation almost derailed him—and how mentorship, accountability, and strategic partnerships became game changers.
