What separates entrepreneurs who defy the odds from those who fall victim to them?
Drawing on insights from their new book, Underdogs, Vusi Thembekwayo, entrepreneur and venture investor, and Michael Hinton, business strategist and finance lecturer at Gibs, joined Michael Avery to explore what sets successful entrepreneurs apart, what the power of resilience and adaptability is, and how limitations can become a source of competitive advantage. The conversation also examined the challenges facing South Africa’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, from limited early-stage funding to regulatory barriers, and what needs to change to unlock the country’s innovation potential.
