This episode of The Chartered Vendor Podcast features Dr Rinos Mautsa, CEO of Picco Construction and Executive Secretary of CCAZ, sharing a powerful and unfiltered journey of resilience, entrepreneurship, and real business lessons in Zimbabwe.

From losing his father at a young age and dropping out of boarding school, to hustling through college with a tuckshop and movie business this is a story that proves your background does NOT determine your future.

We dive deep into:

• Why entrepreneurship is about resilience, not resources
• The truth about degrees vs practical skills
• Why some people without O’ Levels outperform graduates
• The importance of customer service in Africa
• Lessons from working in Telecel, NetOne & Zuva Petroleum
• The reality of building a business with your spouse
• Why systems are the key to scaling across countries
• Mistakes, losses, and bouncing back stronger

If you are building a business in Zimbabwe or Africa, this conversation will challenge your thinking and push you to take action.

Key takeaway: Success is not about where you come from it’s about your mindset, discipline, and ability to keep going when things fall apart.
