In this episode of Impact Economix, we sit down with Nkululeko Mhlaba, Founder and CEO of Phungela, for an in-depth conversation about what it REALLY takes to build a business that scales — without losing your soul in the process.
Nkululeko doesn't hold back. He shares the raw truth about bootstrapping, the discipline required to become "fundable," and why he bets on people over technology every single time.
