Eldest son. Keys in my pocket before I finished school.
Business is my whole life. It always has been. When other kids were figuring out what they wanted to be, I already knew — I was built for this.
"I grew up in business. I didn't read about it. I lived it."
I'm the eldest, so when my dad couldn't be at the shop, the shop became mine. Straight from school, still in uniform, keys already on me — I'd open up and work till late. Closing time, restock, lock up. Day after day.
That's where I learned the things you can't teach in a classroom: how to read a customer, how to move stock, how to keep your word, and how to make a sale that both sides are happy with. Real business. The physical kind.
Today I'm studying law at the University of the Western Cape — and it has never slowed the business down. I study, and I build, at the same time. If anything, law sharpened me: the discipline, and the habit of thinking three moves ahead.
Times changed. Everything moved online. So I took everything the shop floor taught me and rebuilt it for the internet — and that became Funnlr.
And I'm not doing it alone — I'm connected with people who've built real, successful businesses. Work with me, and that network works for you too.
