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.

Every now and then, I sit across someone who’s not just building a business… but rewriting the rules of an entire industry. Germain is one of those people.
At a time when African SMEs are still underserved, underbanked, and often invisible to traditional financial systems, he made a decision most wouldn’t dare: to build a neobank… for the overlooked.
In this conversation, Germain shares the truth behind building Zazu — a fintech platform designed to give African entrepreneurs the financial infrastructure they’ve been denied for decades. He opens up about failure, the mental toll of startup life, what no one tells you about raising capital, and why simplicity, not complexity, is the future of banking on the continent.
This isn’t a conversation about hype. It’s about hardship. About vision. About how one founder is putting African SMEs on the financial map — one transaction at a time.
This is Germain. And this is The Ambition Diaries.
