He is also the founder of African Warrior Wear, a clothing company that specializes in different clothing. In an exclusive interview with Mpasho, he shared;
“I’ve been a radio host for 3 years on and off hosting different shows all in Scotland UK. My first show was called African Warrior Show but I later transitioned to the Property and Investment Show.
Our goal is to speak to the Africans in the Diaspora by disseminating information, opportunities, and motivation. We also host entrepreneurial trailblazers to inspire the up-and-coming Gen.”
Did he pursue journalism on campus?
“I pursued a degree in Journalism at UON and I am currently doing a Masters in immigration law at Glasgow University.
My studies haven’t necessarily directly informed my business ventures although I did finally get to be on radio 13 years later.
I believe everything one does in life is a school for entrepreneurship.”
How different is it hosting a show in the UK compared to doing so in Kenya?
“It has allowed me to engage with a wide audience and share my perspective on various topics.
I have also hosted great people and opinion leaders, CEO, and company reps from Kenya who have products that are beneficial to the African Diaspora.”
What is your role as a host on the Property and Investment Show?
“As the host of the Property and Investment Show on Jambo Radio Scotland, I provide listeners with valuable insights into the property investment world. From discussing market trends to interviewing experts in real estate, the show has become an essential platform for anyone looking to learn more about wealth-building through property. I also bring in my personal experience and knowledge to guide our audience on smart investment decisions.”
How did you transition from radio hosting to launching Warrior Wear?
“I launched Warrior Wear before venturing into radio hosting’ He clarified.
Further adding
“The transition was fairly easy for me as a journalism undergrad.
My journey in radio has helped me build a public persona and develop important communication skills, which were instrumental in promoting Warrior Wear.
The radio show gave me a platform to connect with like-minded individuals and share my entrepreneurial journey.
This opened doors to new opportunities in fashion and business.
Over time, I realized that combining my passion for both media and fashion could help me grow as an entrepreneur.”
How is life abroad compared to life in Kenya?
“Life abroad has its own set of challenges, but the exposure to different cultures, markets, and opportunities has been incredibly enriching. In Kenya, there’s a sense of community and a growing entrepreneurial spirit that’s both motivating and inspiring. Life abroad has given me more exposure, there are so many more opportunities than back home, that being said -I’m always deeply connected to my roots back home.
