Kevin’s Story
This part matters.
Kevin grew up between Zimbabwe, Saudi Arabia, and the UK. He experienced loss early, and it shaped the way he views people, teams, and pressure.
He built a multi-million-pound business.
He lost it.
He rebuilt himself.
And then he dedicated his career to enabling business owners to avoid the pain he lived through.
He calls himself a Failed Businessman.
Not as a joke.
