What does it look like to build a marketing agency, run sell-out networking events, mentor young creatives and go into schools to teach kids how to start businesses – all before your 21st birthday? Meet Kemar Sisimayi-Dyke of Nova Connects.
In this episode Kemar shares how a viral TikTok jewellery brand led him to discover his real purpose, why he sold it and what that decision taught him about doing things for the right reasons. We talk about the story behind the Nova name, his Building Brands Through Connection networking events, working with names like the Sidemen and Elephant Man and the school workshops where kids go from nervous to pitching their own businesses in a matter of weeks.
Honest, energising and full of the kind of insight you don't expect from someone who just turned twenty.
