We introduce a new segment called: How they started...where I feature entrepreneurs and their businesses and explore the WHY behind their journey.

It's like discovering the reason why your favourite song was written, how many times they were rejected by radio stations before it became a hit. Entrepreneurs also have layered stories on how their brand came into being, some stories are inspiring, some are just well pragmatic. - like it just makes sense that was the next step to take. 

I feature the hardworking, super smart founder of the online tech publication: Recharged. Nafisa Akabor, tech and EV car journalist - shares how this idea came about after her retrenchment from the Mail and Gaurdian. While most people would be stuck feeling a sense of rejection. Nafisa saw it as redirection. In some ways it was almost instinctive that the next step for her would be to not only start her own publication, but to also monetize it. 

Nafisa is also a Car Awards judge, where she is honored for her opinion and insights on the EV Category.
