Thursday Aug 03, 2023
Thursday Aug 03, 2023
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.

#ExpedionBusiness aims to provide a ‘Wisdom from the Firepit’ experience.
If you are lucky enough to have a grandfather or father that could share their business adventures ‘around the firepit’, your chances of being an equally successful entrepreneur increase exponentially.
Or if you have a formal mentor or business coach, you are a very fortunate entrepreneur. Unfortunately, the majority of enthusiastic aspiring entrepreneurs or even existing entrepreneurs do not have that luxury at hand.
If you add to this equation that our economy’s strength is directly parallel to the strength of its entrepreneurs, the importance of providing mentors to our aspiring entrepreneurs becomes even more important.
