Kendi Nanua Had No Safety Net. Just Hard Work - and a Gift Idea That Blew Up

Описание: Kendi sits down with Barrack to share how growing up in a single-room mabati house, walking long distances to school, and constantly relying on other people shaped her earliest beliefs about money and possibility. She opens up about battling a deep scarcity mindset, earning a first-class degree in finance only to realize she hated the field, and taking an 8K-a-month internship instead of a secure banking path. She talks about discovering her creative side, helping a vendor sell at a flea market while in university, surviving 40-hour workdays during the COVID agency era, and eventually launching her own gifting business — the one that made her KSh 1 million profit and completely rewrote her money story. This episode is a raw, inspiring journey from survival to intention, proving that where you start doesn’t have to determine where you end up.
