Meet Nick and Marcel — the founders behind Donkey Long Tong, one of South Africa's most loved outdoor brands. Their story didn't start in a boardroom. It started around a fire. No Wi-Fi, no signal, just friends, the outdoors, and a problem that needed fixing.
From making their first 300 tongs on an Airbnb kitchen counter to building a brand that's proudly South African and globally relevant — this is a story about grit, humour, and what happens when you finally reconnect with the world around you.
We get into how they built it, what nearly broke them, and why stepping away from the noise might just be the most underrated business strategy there is.
If you're sitting on an idea you can't shake — this one's for you.
🔥 This is Beyond Busy. And if you're here, you're one of us.
