Navigating the Highs & Lows of Entrepreneurship with Paseka Lesolang

Entrepreneurial Mindset

Who doesn't love heart-touching stories of entrepreneurs of WHY they started?
When I first met Paseka Lesolang, his reason for starting a business was so noble, to support his grandmother to overcome huge utility bills due to water leaks from their toilet.
His story is nothing short of remarkable, as this relentless pursuit quickly shifted to ease the burden for many other families experiencing a similar problem. What transpired from an endeavour to help at home and his community, has now evolved to even greater inspiring social impact initiatives.
A true gentleman at heart, you don't want to miss this conversation, we look forward to your presence and engagement!
