Show notes

In this episode of The Peswa Podcast Toolkit, we sit down with Ken Agyapong Jr., Ghanaian-American entrepreneur and co-founder of AfroFuture, for a deeply personal conversation about family, legacy, entrepreneurship and the journey toward becoming his own man.Ken's story is anything but conventional. From experimenting with entrepreneurship as a teenager and organizing events from his university dorm room, to moving from the United States to Ghana, working within his family's business ecosystem and eventually helping build Afrochella—now AfroFuture—into a major African cultural platform, his journey has been shaped by ambition, opportunity, responsibility and identity.We also get into the realities of building AfroFuture, the importance of partnerships, taking ideas from concept to execution, returning to Ghana, and what it really takes to build something that can outlive you.This is a conversation about legacy—but also independence.About inheritance—but also identity.About having access—and still having something to prove.Watch the full episode and hear Ken Agyapong Jr.'s story of building, learning and becoming his own man.The Peswa Podcast — conversations with the people building businesses, careers and legacies across Africa.#ThePeswaPodcast #KenAgyapongJr #AfroFuture #Entrepreneurship #Ghana #Business #Legacy #AfricanEntrepreneurs
