After working as a finance manager in the tech and motor industries, he joined the credit risk area at one of the large SA banks. Whilst working on risk projects he became an expert in banking regulations and capital management. It was at this time at the bank that he spotted the opportunity for proper coffee and so The Daily Buzz was born 12 years ago. For the first ten years, he divided his time between risk management consulting and growing the coffee business. 5 years ago he started a coffee roastery called Craft Coffee to supply The Daily Buzz and other discerning customers. He has been a member of Entrepreneur Organisation for 5 years which has been an integral part of his personal and business journey up to now. \n\nhttp://www.thedailybuzz.co.za\nhttps://www.craftcoffee.co.za\n\nShow notes:\nExplain what your business is 0:31\nWhere is the best coffee in South Africa is? 1:18\nHow did you end up becoming a coffee expert? 1:58\nWhat was the biggest surprise that you learnt by starting the Daily Buzz 3:28\nHow many cups of coffee do you drink a day 5:21\nShare your experience from the EO regional leadership academy 6:11\nHow have you applied the learning to the Daily Buzz 13:47\nTalk a bit about how you \u201callow them to be free to make mistakes\u201d 16:33\nHow have you restructured your management/EXCO meetings since the EO regional leadership academy 19:36\nAcknowledging people\u2019s behaviour 30:41
