Richard Lewis: The Artisan’s Path to Entrepreneurial Success

Richard Lewis is a man of many talents and exponential passions.
From an entrepreneurial perspective, his work at the Artisans Training Foundation is of immense importance to not only the economy of South Africa but to the future of each individual prospective artisan signing up to change their futures.We also talk about why South Africa needs more artisans and how, unlike popular belief, this could be the path to immense financial rewards.
As an added benefit, our conversation with Richard highlights the reality that sustainable living is within each person's reach. How we can grow our own vegetables even if we have a stoep as small as the size of a door.
But Richard’s life is not all work and no play. This episode will give you a snapshot of the immense value of exchanging the hustle & bustle of the big city for the rural village of Paul Roux in the Free State.
