Serial Entrepreneur on Purpose, Legacy and Building for the Right Reasons | Daniel Maveneka

Description

What if the real failure isn't losing a business, it's never building the life you were meant to live? In this episode, Batje Chibafa sits down with serial entrepreneur, educator and community builder Daniel Maveneka founder of Ontario Online Schools, Minga Coffee Company, and Bridging Generations, and the creator of the forthcoming Check-in Canada app. This is a rich, wide-ranging conversation about what it really means to succeed. Daniel talks about building businesses that solve real problems, closing the gap between African coffee producers and Western consumers, creating education pathways for students who fall through the cracks, and why legacy not profit is the real return on investment. Expect candour, humour, quotes you will not forget, and one surprising answer in the lightning round that will stay with you.
