Episode 46 Rico Ngoma: Building A Manufacturing Platform & Education As A Vehicle For Kids To Grow.
In this episode, I'm talking with my good friend, Rico. We've known each other for a number of years now and met a few times while I was living in China and Hong Kong. Rico is originally from Zambia, his family moved to the US and then to Canada when was a young boy. While in College, he knew. that he wouldn't work for someone else so he set up on a path of entrepreneurship by going to China.
While there, he started as an English Teacher and then, made contacts and get into the entrepreneurial scene and despite the challenges there, he stuck to it and built a successful business with his partner where now he is the CEO of Source Find Asia, a firm that specializes in manufacturing and sourcing. After a few years of doing that very successfully, he's just hosted a few days ago, the first Manufacturing And E-Commerce Digital Summit where he has had world class experts in key areas of Manufacturing and E-Commerce speak. He's also launching now, a platform where entrepreneurs can have access to high level courses and content on these topics.
It's a fun talk as Rico is an interesting man, having lived and traveled extensively since he was a kid and having built a successful business at an early age while living in Asia. We talk about his beginnings, his upbringing, his move to China, how he almost returned back after almost running out of money and yet he stuck it and the rest is History as they say. This is an inspiring episode for anyone who is looking at becoming an entrepreneur and what it takes to make and also, the upside is a lifestyle, freedom second to none. We also cover the differences in lifestyles between Asia and North America, specially, Toronto, Canada, as we are both from Toronto. We talk about how you can drastically upgrade your lifestyle in Asia for a fraction of what you'd spend just barely surviving in Canada.
Make yourself comfortable and watch this one, it's a fun conversation with an inspiring person with a heart of gold, a true Leader With A Heart.
