Alfa Bumhira: Family Funeral Business to Apple, Africa vs. SE Asia & Workforce Learning - E99

Alfa Bumhira on the journey from a family funeral business to Apple, comparing Africa and SE Asia, and the future of workforce learning.

"My father never went to school. Starting a business in Africa is not easy, and starting a business in a country like Zimbabwe, it's even harder. Imagine during those days when peopleare studying businesses, these ecosystems or incubators never existed, like for SMEs. If they existed, possibly they were only meant for the rich or the people who are political or economically connected in Zimbabwe. So he had to grind it out from scratch, starting with one car and one casket to sell. The determination and the whole idea of taking risks, it's something that he instilled in us. And at the end of the day, it's all about hard work." -Alfa Bumihira" - Alfa Bumhira
