The young man from Rimuka is making his mark once again. Having excelled in fintech, he is now venturing into banking. He is someone you can turn to for advice. Speaking at the UFIC Youth 2024 event, he addressed nearly 7,000 young people. His speech was deeply personal, sharing his journey from a dreamer to a successful entrepreneur. This powerful message resonated with many young aspiring entrepreneurs, including those on the brink of giving up.
“Get started; the journey begins when you take the first step,” he emphasised. The idea is to teach young people the lessons learnt over time, so that your journey is way shorter than mine. If you are ever lucky to catch a break in life, it’s your responsibility to send the elevator back down. Resources come from being resourceful. If people don’t laugh at your dreams, they aren’t big enough.”
He shared insights into launching the UK’s first digital banking platform, right in the heart of London. “The key was to start, now with 400 shareholders, we simply began. Start even if you’re afraid, start with tears, just start. Growth happens when you pursue your dream. Fall down eight times and get up nine. Be courageous, be persistent, be consistent. It’s not the darkness that scares us, but our own light.”
His words left a lasting impact, encouraging young people to take action and pursue their dreams with determination and resilience. Be Inspired!
