The Ambition Diaries is the honest, unfiltered journey of what it really takes to build something meaningful as a young entrepreneur.
Hosted by Tommy Jones, a 22-year-old business owner navigating the highs, lows, and lessons of entrepreneurship, this podcast is a space where ambition meets reality. Each week, we sit down with experts in finance, psychology, fitness, business strategy, relationships, and more — to have the conversations we wish we had earlier.
This isn’t about overnight success or hustle culture. It’s about depth. It’s about understanding how to make smarter decisions, how to grow with intention, and how to build a business that doesn’t come at the cost of your health, relationships, or peace of mind.
We ask the difficult questions. We challenge the typical definitions of success. And most importantly, we share the tools that help us become better — in business and in life.
Because ambition is powerful. But when it’s guided by wisdom, it becomes unstoppable.
Today, I’m sitting down with Issa Lopez — a visionary entrepreneur whose journey stretches across continents. From growing up in Spain, to finding his path in Cape Town, Issa has built a career that blends creativity, commerce, and global perspective.
This episode dives deep into his story — from breaking into fashion and retail, to pivoting into procurement and product development, to uncovering the realities of dropshipping and e-commerce from a South African lens.
Together, we’ll explore what it really takes to build across borders: the lessons, the setbacks, the mindset, and the power of connections that open doors along the way.
So, if you’ve ever wondered how to build a brand that travels, create products that scale, and navigate global commerce while staying true to your roots — this conversation with Issa Lopez is one you don’t want to miss.
