00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.280
Kuzif da wasin de keis,
2
00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:02.280
then human knowledge,
3
00:00:02.280 --> 00:00:03.720
which was a written that disappeared
4
00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:04.640
from the face of this ed.
5
00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:07.040
But you go to some of these traditional rooms,
6
00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:08.000
traditional rulash.
7
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:10.240
They still have some of these traditions going on.
8
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:12.640
Because it was spoken to them and showed them
9
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:14.560
and they pass it on from generation to generation.
10
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:16.200
Doesn't it become like Chinese, Chinese,
11
00:00:16.200 --> 00:00:17.400
Westpac, where, you know,
12
00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:18.360
you keep telling one person,
13
00:00:18.360 --> 00:00:19.800
and over time it loses its value?
14
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:20.920
That's what the tell us.
15
00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:22.560
It's not true. It's not true.
16
00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:23.840
Because at some point in time,
17
00:00:23.840 --> 00:00:26.280
the education will come in and it will be written down.
18
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:28.240
And then we put it to scrutiny to make sure
19
00:00:28.240 --> 00:00:30.200
what's been done is the right thing.
20
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:32.800
And then you traveled abroad?
21
00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:33.640
Yes, sir.
22
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:34.480
To go to school.
23
00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:35.320
Yes, sir.
24
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:37.280
If your parents were doing so well here
25
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:39.880
and, you know, they wanted you to also start something
26
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:42.400
in a spot of the family tradition,
27
00:00:42.400 --> 00:00:43.240
why did you have to go abroad?
28
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:45.760
Because generally, generally,
29
00:00:45.760 --> 00:00:47.760
in this economic structure that we have,
30
00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:52.400
it is technically run from the Western perspective.
31
00:00:52.400 --> 00:00:54.480
So if you want to grow your business,
32
00:00:54.480 --> 00:00:57.400
you need to go to the West if possible
33
00:00:57.400 --> 00:00:58.560
and learn.
34
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:01.360
I think that was the reason why I did that.
35
00:01:01.360 --> 00:01:03.240
And you see in all across the group,
36
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:04.080
when we were in Canada,
37
00:01:04.080 --> 00:01:08.000
I had classmates from India, China, almost everywhere.
38
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:10.120
Because that has become a melting pot
39
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:12.040
of people from all over the world.
40
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:14.560
So the education from the Western,
41
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:17.240
like going to Canada, the education was one,
42
00:01:17.240 --> 00:01:20.480
but also I think the network was invaluable.
43
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:22.040
Because now, at some point in the year,
44
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:24.040
I have friends from all over the world.
45
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:25.160
If I need something,
46
00:01:25.160 --> 00:01:27.560
I can call somebody in China on my phone,
47
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:29.200
a class meeting, Japan,
48
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:31.000
a class meeting, Australia,
49
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:32.680
a class meeting,
50
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:37.200
I think that was the most valuable thing I learned
51
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:39.640
and I got from good abroad, networking.
52
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:42.720
And then also, now the mystery of the white,
53
00:01:42.720 --> 00:01:44.360
you are not the white mother,
54
00:01:44.360 --> 00:01:46.880
I don't, you are not mysterious anymore.
55
00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:48.840
Because you live in their system,
56
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:51.360
you know what their capabilities are.
57
00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:53.200
So if I think it was,
58
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:54.880
I think it was the right decision,
59
00:01:54.880 --> 00:01:56.760
insights that they took me there.
60
00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:58.320
Because also, let me tell you something,
61
00:01:58.320 --> 00:01:59.520
this is history.
62
00:01:59.520 --> 00:02:01.480
Back in the days, back in the days,
63
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:05.120
when audition or a nest of king is born.
64
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.560
If you want to defeat your,
65
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.000
let's say, the person who is rules over you,
66
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:11.120
what you used to do is,
67
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:12.840
you take, if they take lessons,
68
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:14.720
you are my son, I'm the ruler.
69
00:02:14.720 --> 00:02:16.120
I want to defeat, let's say,
70
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:18.600
the one who rules over us,
71
00:02:18.600 --> 00:02:20.120
I take you to go and study,
72
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:21.480
they are ways how they do things
73
00:02:21.480 --> 00:02:22.680
and then you bring the person back.
74
00:02:22.720 --> 00:02:25.800
Because now he understands how the imagination works,
75
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:27.120
that's the only way you can defeat them.
76
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:28.800
But where we as Africans,
77
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:31.640
we fell short as when we went,
78
00:02:31.640 --> 00:02:33.240
my daughter of us didn't come back.
79
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:34.480
And that's where the Chinese,
80
00:02:34.480 --> 00:02:35.720
I think they've done,
81
00:02:35.720 --> 00:02:37.760
they did a tremendous job of it.
82
00:02:37.760 --> 00:02:40.720
Those these sent a good chunk of them went back.
83
00:02:40.720 --> 00:02:42.320
And take you are doing the same thing too.
84
00:02:42.320 --> 00:02:43.760
Those these sent to Germany,
85
00:02:43.760 --> 00:02:45.240
a good chunk are back in tech.
86
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:48.400
That's why now we see techish products are all over the place.
87
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:49.960
Well, our people, unfortunately,
88
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:52.680
we got when they got caught up.
89
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:53.880
Who are we not coming back?
90
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:57.840
People like, you know, human beings,
91
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:00.720
generally, who take the path of least resistance,
92
00:03:00.720 --> 00:03:03.120
it's human nature, it's not a race thing.
93
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:04.120
But for some real reason,
94
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:06.320
people like the path of least resistance,
95
00:03:06.320 --> 00:03:09.280
I for one, the challenges with control
96
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:10.200
during this business,
97
00:03:10.200 --> 00:03:13.080
I'm a different man from when I started this 2014.
98
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:16.520
But most people are not able to withstand these challenges.
99
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:19.120
Do they like, I know here I'm a job,
100
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:21.680
I've a nice home, can drive my Porsche,
101
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:24.200
why do I have to come here and come and stress?
102
00:03:24.200 --> 00:03:27.240
Internet has a stay here and live our lives too.
103
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:29.080
That's why I'm saying the upbringing
104
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.080
and the fact that we ownership
105
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:32.400
for my family was the reason why I say
106
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:34.280
I can't stay here and just work my whole life.
107
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:35.560
I have to own something.
108
00:03:38.200 --> 00:03:39.040
Wow.
109
00:03:39.040 --> 00:03:42.440
So if you had something to say to a young man
110
00:03:42.440 --> 00:03:47.440
who has acquired so much skills and a stuck abroad,
111
00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:48.960
what would it be?
112
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:51.120
Hello gentlemen, hello lady,
113
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:52.720
Ghana is a fantastic country.
114
00:03:52.720 --> 00:03:54.640
Don't let anybody like you.
115
00:03:54.640 --> 00:03:57.600
I've had the opportunity to drive as far out to,
116
00:03:57.600 --> 00:04:01.840
a 12, a 12 gas time in our dancing Western region,
117
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:04.560
gone as far as who, gone as far as tamale.
118
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:06.760
And whoever you go, people treat you well
119
00:04:06.760 --> 00:04:08.760
and they're like I'm driving to a mat night.
120
00:04:08.760 --> 00:04:10.160
Maybe there is neither,
121
00:04:10.160 --> 00:04:13.280
I'm not afraid that somebody will rob me or anything.
122
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:15.160
And when you come here initially,
123
00:04:15.160 --> 00:04:17.560
there is a lot of, there's some challenges,
124
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:19.520
but if you're able to ride the challenges,
125
00:04:19.520 --> 00:04:21.480
there are guys I'm talking to, I never knew.
126
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:23.840
Look at this sort of people you've had sitting in your chair,
127
00:04:23.840 --> 00:04:25.600
the caliber of people you've had sitting in your chair,
128
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:28.600
you never thought you'd be sitting here in under three years.
129
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:30.480
So if you want your name to be out there,
130
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.440
to people to fill the impact of what you have learned,
131
00:04:33.440 --> 00:04:34.480
look back home.
132
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:36.920
Wherever you are, not just Ghana, Togo, Benin,
133
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:37.920
any other African country,
134
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:39.960
that's where your impact will be felt.
135
00:04:39.960 --> 00:04:42.120
You have such an impressive tone roses.
136
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:45.320
What's the way you put your words together?
137
00:04:45.320 --> 00:04:47.120
I think I'm here, but I'm coming back here.
138
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:47.960
Yes, sir.
139
00:04:47.960 --> 00:04:52.960
You know, that's a very good way of summing this.
140
00:04:52.960 --> 00:04:54.800
I really want to understand.
141
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:58.560
Are you doing this for yourself or for your family?
142
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:00.640
I'm doing this for myself and my family.
143
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:04.680
Nobody does anything in vacuum.
144
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:06.080
There are course you are doing this not for yourself,
145
00:05:06.080 --> 00:05:07.840
it's for yourself and your family.
146
00:05:07.840 --> 00:05:09.560
Because you are a team,
147
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:11.240
you are people who came before you.
148
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:12.400
This is your 10.
149
00:05:12.400 --> 00:05:13.520
You are doing it for yourself.
150
00:05:13.520 --> 00:05:15.640
And then your children will bend and will take it
151
00:05:15.640 --> 00:05:17.040
from where you are and then continue.
152
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:18.680
So it's for yourself and your children.
153
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:20.440
That's how people are supposed to think.
154
00:05:20.440 --> 00:05:22.200
Everything that you do, look,
155
00:05:22.200 --> 00:05:24.760
people underestimate the power of decision.
156
00:05:24.760 --> 00:05:27.040
Human beings are all decision.
157
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:28.840
Human beings are all decision.
158
00:05:28.840 --> 00:05:31.480
So everything you do is a time sit down and look at
159
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:32.960
if the decision that I take,
160
00:05:32.960 --> 00:05:36.000
how is it going to affect me and the people
161
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:38.360
before me and the people to come after me?
162
00:05:39.320 --> 00:05:40.840
Things will be easy for you.
163
00:05:40.840 --> 00:05:44.440
Every decision does the correct path of living life.
164
00:05:44.440 --> 00:05:47.840
Yes, every decision is for the people before you,
165
00:05:47.840 --> 00:05:49.240
you and the people to come.
166
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:51.200
And don't just you, your cousins,
167
00:05:51.200 --> 00:05:53.480
because that's how Africa we've lived.
168
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:57.800
Nuclear families were just introduced by a foreign power.
169
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:00.480
We've always been a standard family.
170
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:01.680
That's why like I can't,
171
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:03.880
we don't have the word for cousins.
172
00:06:03.880 --> 00:06:05.200
Meania, we don't have that.
173
00:06:06.200 --> 00:06:08.400
My Mr. Wah, my father,
174
00:06:08.400 --> 00:06:09.320
a female father,
175
00:06:09.320 --> 00:06:12.000
they were fucked by my mom's meal,
176
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:14.520
my mom, my meal mom.
177
00:06:14.520 --> 00:06:16.160
We've never had this thing.
178
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:17.920
Let me stop you here for a minute.
179
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.360
We are on the journey of changing the minds
180
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:22.080
and the lives of people.

Thank you.
185
00:06:29.960 --> 00:06:31.560
Now let's carry on with the conversation.
186
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:32.640
You've done great.
187
00:06:32.640 --> 00:06:34.320
You've been educating yourself around.
188
00:06:34.320 --> 00:06:36.320
And then finally you made a decision.
189
00:06:36.320 --> 00:06:37.320
Yes.
190
00:06:37.320 --> 00:06:40.520
Who made you or what reason did you have?
191
00:06:40.520 --> 00:06:43.480
Okay, first and foremost, in 2010.
192
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:47.280
So I really started to do more research on African history
193
00:06:47.280 --> 00:06:48.520
around 2010.
194
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:52.120
So there was this professor,
195
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:54.000
he passed away 2015.
196
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:56.640
His name is Professor Yusef Ben Yekanan.
197
00:06:56.640 --> 00:06:58.600
He's one of the top most Egyptologists,
198
00:06:58.600 --> 00:06:59.600
African Egyptologists.
199
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:01.880
So I started to research on him.
200
00:07:01.880 --> 00:07:03.800
So when I started reading his books,
201
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:06.560
I realized that we've been like to for all DCS
202
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:10.920
from religion to engineering to science.
203
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:13.640
I was like, Africans are really great, you know.
204
00:07:13.640 --> 00:07:16.240
So I was still reading his,
205
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:18.960
and then one time when I got my second job,
206
00:07:18.960 --> 00:07:19.640
my dad asked,
207
00:07:19.640 --> 00:07:21.480
oh, so Fred, this job that you're doing,
208
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:22.680
what do you do when I told him I do,
209
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:24.400
we'd make this and this and that.
210
00:07:24.400 --> 00:07:26.400
My father's a very big Afro optimist.
211
00:07:26.400 --> 00:07:28.520
He believes in the promise of Africa.
212
00:07:28.520 --> 00:07:30.840
He said, there's no place greater than Africa.
213
00:07:30.880 --> 00:07:33.800
Like, oh, Fred, this thing that you know how to make,
214
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:36.720
you know it would be a better value for Ghana and beyond.
215
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:39.680
So think about bringing this business
216
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:44.160
or you know how to Ghana and that's what started this journey.
217
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:45.680
And we've been at this transition.
218
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:48.280
So it can't be every year with our raw materials.
219
00:07:48.280 --> 00:07:50.800
You know how every environment is different.
220
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:53.160
The West is quite dry.
221
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:54.640
Ghana is very humid.
222
00:07:54.640 --> 00:07:57.960
So the way you process raw materials in the West
223
00:07:57.960 --> 00:08:01.200
is different from how you process it in Ghana.
224
00:08:01.200 --> 00:08:04.760
So I started coming, try an arrow, try an arrow, try an arrow.
225
00:08:04.760 --> 00:08:07.160
It'll go to markets, it won't work.
226
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:08.280
It'll go to markets, it won't work.
227
00:08:08.280 --> 00:08:11.240
While we're preparing to build a factory.
228
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:16.240
So by 2017, we had bought a prefab.
229
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:18.000
Prefab is prefabricated warehouse.
230
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:19.760
We bought it from China, brought it here.
231
00:08:19.760 --> 00:08:21.000
And then my business partner,
232
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:24.480
who is also my brother, Go Kofi came to Ghana, built their prefab.
233
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:27.240
And then we ordered our equipment raw materials.
234
00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:28.080
You put everything there.
235
00:08:28.080 --> 00:08:31.160
My senior brother, who I think I said that shared our story.
236
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:32.000
Yep.
237
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:35.480
Yes, he was the one who sacrificed his schooling.
238
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:37.680
That you know Fred, I think you have something
239
00:08:37.680 --> 00:08:38.960
you are greater than I am.
240
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:41.560
So you go and then I will stay home and work
241
00:08:41.560 --> 00:08:44.880
and pay your rent and stuff like that.
242
00:08:44.880 --> 00:08:46.760
So he came with me.
243
00:08:46.760 --> 00:08:49.760
And then we came and set up the factory.
244
00:08:49.760 --> 00:08:51.960
And then we started our production.
245
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:53.920
Connected Mind's podcast.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.280
Kuzif da wasin de keis,
2
00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:02.280
then human knowledge,
3
00:00:02.280 --> 00:00:03.720
which was a written that disappeared
4
00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:04.640
from the face of this ed.
5
00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:07.040
But you go to some of these traditional rooms,
6
00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:08.000
traditional rulash.
7
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:10.240
They still have some of these traditions going on.
8
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:12.640
Because it was spoken to them and showed them
9
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:14.560
and they pass it on from generation to generation.
10
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:16.200
Doesn't it become like Chinese, Chinese,
11
00:00:16.200 --> 00:00:17.400
Westpac, where, you know,
12
00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:18.360
you keep telling one person,
13
00:00:18.360 --> 00:00:19.800
and over time it loses its value?
14
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:20.920
That's what the tell us.
15
00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:22.560
It's not true. It's not true.
16
00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:23.840
Because at some point in time,
17
00:00:23.840 --> 00:00:26.280
the education will come in and it will be written down.
18
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:28.240
And then we put it to scrutiny to make sure
19
00:00:28.240 --> 00:00:30.200
what's been done is the right thing.
20
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:32.800
And then you traveled abroad?
21
00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:33.640
Yes, sir.
22
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:34.480
To go to school.
23
00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:35.320
Yes, sir.
24
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:37.280
If your parents were doing so well here
25
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:39.880
and, you know, they wanted you to also start something
26
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:42.400
in a spot of the family tradition,
27
00:00:42.400 --> 00:00:43.240
why did you have to go abroad?
28
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:45.760
Because generally, generally,
29
00:00:45.760 --> 00:00:47.760
in this economic structure that we have,
30
00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:52.400
it is technically run from the Western perspective.
31
00:00:52.400 --> 00:00:54.480
So if you want to grow your business,
32
00:00:54.480 --> 00:00:57.400
you need to go to the West if possible
33
00:00:57.400 --> 00:00:58.560
and learn.
34
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:01.360
I think that was the reason why I did that.
35
00:01:01.360 --> 00:01:03.240
And you see in all across the group,
36
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:04.080
when we were in Canada,
37
00:01:04.080 --> 00:01:08.000
I had classmates from India, China, almost everywhere.
38
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:10.120
Because that has become a melting pot
39
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:12.040
of people from all over the world.
40
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:14.560
So the education from the Western,
41
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:17.240
like going to Canada, the education was one,
42
00:01:17.240 --> 00:01:20.480
but also I think the network was invaluable.
43
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:22.040
Because now, at some point in the year,
44
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:24.040
I have friends from all over the world.
45
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:25.160
If I need something,
46
00:01:25.160 --> 00:01:27.560
I can call somebody in China on my phone,
47
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:29.200
a class meeting, Japan,
48
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:31.000
a class meeting, Australia,
49
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:32.680
a class meeting,
50
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:37.200
I think that was the most valuable thing I learned
51
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:39.640
and I got from good abroad, networking.
52
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:42.720
And then also, now the mystery of the white,
53
00:01:42.720 --> 00:01:44.360
you are not the white mother,
54
00:01:44.360 --> 00:01:46.880
I don't, you are not mysterious anymore.
55
00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:48.840
Because you live in their system,
56
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:51.360
you know what their capabilities are.
57
00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:53.200
So if I think it was,
58
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:54.880
I think it was the right decision,
59
00:01:54.880 --> 00:01:56.760
insights that they took me there.
60
00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:58.320
Because also, let me tell you something,
61
00:01:58.320 --> 00:01:59.520
this is history.
62
00:01:59.520 --> 00:02:01.480
Back in the days, back in the days,
63
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:05.120
when audition or a nest of king is born.
64
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.560
If you want to defeat your,
65
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.000
let's say, the person who is rules over you,
66
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:11.120
what you used to do is,
67
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:12.840
you take, if they take lessons,
68
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:14.720
you are my son, I'm the ruler.
69
00:02:14.720 --> 00:02:16.120
I want to defeat, let's say,
70
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:18.600
the one who rules over us,
71
00:02:18.600 --> 00:02:20.120
I take you to go and study,
72
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:21.480
they are ways how they do things
73
00:02:21.480 --> 00:02:22.680
and then you bring the person back.
74
00:02:22.720 --> 00:02:25.800
Because now he understands how the imagination works,
75
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:27.120
that's the only way you can defeat them.
76
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:28.800
But where we as Africans,
77
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:31.640
we fell short as when we went,
78
00:02:31.640 --> 00:02:33.240
my daughter of us didn't come back.
79
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:34.480
And that's where the Chinese,
80
00:02:34.480 --> 00:02:35.720
I think they've done,
81
00:02:35.720 --> 00:02:37.760
they did a tremendous job of it.
82
00:02:37.760 --> 00:02:40.720
Those these sent a good chunk of them went back.
83
00:02:40.720 --> 00:02:42.320
And take you are doing the same thing too.
84
00:02:42.320 --> 00:02:43.760
Those these sent to Germany,
85
00:02:43.760 --> 00:02:45.240
a good chunk are back in tech.
86
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:48.400
That's why now we see techish products are all over the place.
87
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:49.960
Well, our people, unfortunately,
88
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:52.680
we got when they got caught up.
89
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:53.880
Who are we not coming back?
90
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:57.840
People like, you know, human beings,
91
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:00.720
generally, who take the path of least resistance,
92
00:03:00.720 --> 00:03:03.120
it's human nature, it's not a race thing.
93
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:04.120
But for some real reason,
94
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:06.320
people like the path of least resistance,
95
00:03:06.320 --> 00:03:09.280
I for one, the challenges with control
96
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:10.200
during this business,
97
00:03:10.200 --> 00:03:13.080
I'm a different man from when I started this 2014.
98
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:16.520
But most people are not able to withstand these challenges.
99
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:19.120
Do they like, I know here I'm a job,
100
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:21.680
I've a nice home, can drive my Porsche,
101
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:24.200
why do I have to come here and come and stress?
102
00:03:24.200 --> 00:03:27.240
Internet has a stay here and live our lives too.
103
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:29.080
That's why I'm saying the upbringing
104
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.080
and the fact that we ownership
105
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:32.400
for my family was the reason why I say
106
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:34.280
I can't stay here and just work my whole life.
107
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:35.560
I have to own something.
108
00:03:38.200 --> 00:03:39.040
Wow.
109
00:03:39.040 --> 00:03:42.440
So if you had something to say to a young man
110
00:03:42.440 --> 00:03:47.440
who has acquired so much skills and a stuck abroad,
111
00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:48.960
what would it be?
112
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:51.120
Hello gentlemen, hello lady,
113
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:52.720
Ghana is a fantastic country.
114
00:03:52.720 --> 00:03:54.640
Don't let anybody like you.
115
00:03:54.640 --> 00:03:57.600
I've had the opportunity to drive as far out to,
116
00:03:57.600 --> 00:04:01.840
a 12, a 12 gas time in our dancing Western region,
117
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:04.560
gone as far as who, gone as far as tamale.
118
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:06.760
And whoever you go, people treat you well
119
00:04:06.760 --> 00:04:08.760
and they're like I'm driving to a mat night.
120
00:04:08.760 --> 00:04:10.160
Maybe there is neither,
121
00:04:10.160 --> 00:04:13.280
I'm not afraid that somebody will rob me or anything.
122
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:15.160
And when you come here initially,
123
00:04:15.160 --> 00:04:17.560
there is a lot of, there's some challenges,
124
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:19.520
but if you're able to ride the challenges,
125
00:04:19.520 --> 00:04:21.480
there are guys I'm talking to, I never knew.
126
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:23.840
Look at this sort of people you've had sitting in your chair,
127
00:04:23.840 --> 00:04:25.600
the caliber of people you've had sitting in your chair,
128
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:28.600
you never thought you'd be sitting here in under three years.
129
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:30.480
So if you want your name to be out there,
130
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.440
to people to fill the impact of what you have learned,
131
00:04:33.440 --> 00:04:34.480
look back home.
132
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:36.920
Wherever you are, not just Ghana, Togo, Benin,
133
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:37.920
any other African country,
134
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:39.960
that's where your impact will be felt.
135
00:04:39.960 --> 00:04:42.120
You have such an impressive tone roses.
136
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:45.320
What's the way you put your words together?
137
00:04:45.320 --> 00:04:47.120
I think I'm here, but I'm coming back here.
138
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:47.960
Yes, sir.
139
00:04:47.960 --> 00:04:52.960
You know, that's a very good way of summing this.
140
00:04:52.960 --> 00:04:54.800
I really want to understand.
141
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:58.560
Are you doing this for yourself or for your family?
142
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:00.640
I'm doing this for myself and my family.
143
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:04.680
Nobody does anything in vacuum.
144
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:06.080
There are course you are doing this not for yourself,
145
00:05:06.080 --> 00:05:07.840
it's for yourself and your family.
146
00:05:07.840 --> 00:05:09.560
Because you are a team,
147
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:11.240
you are people who came before you.
148
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:12.400
This is your 10.
149
00:05:12.400 --> 00:05:13.520
You are doing it for yourself.
150
00:05:13.520 --> 00:05:15.640
And then your children will bend and will take it
151
00:05:15.640 --> 00:05:17.040
from where you are and then continue.
152
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:18.680
So it's for yourself and your children.
153
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:20.440
That's how people are supposed to think.
154
00:05:20.440 --> 00:05:22.200
Everything that you do, look,
155
00:05:22.200 --> 00:05:24.760
people underestimate the power of decision.
156
00:05:24.760 --> 00:05:27.040
Human beings are all decision.
157
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:28.840
Human beings are all decision.
158
00:05:28.840 --> 00:05:31.480
So everything you do is a time sit down and look at
159
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:32.960
if the decision that I take,
160
00:05:32.960 --> 00:05:36.000
how is it going to affect me and the people
161
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:38.360
before me and the people to come after me?
162
00:05:39.320 --> 00:05:40.840
Things will be easy for you.
163
00:05:40.840 --> 00:05:44.440
Every decision does the correct path of living life.
164
00:05:44.440 --> 00:05:47.840
Yes, every decision is for the people before you,
165
00:05:47.840 --> 00:05:49.240
you and the people to come.
166
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:51.200
And don't just you, your cousins,
167
00:05:51.200 --> 00:05:53.480
because that's how Africa we've lived.
168
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:57.800
Nuclear families were just introduced by a foreign power.
169
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:00.480
We've always been a standard family.
170
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:01.680
That's why like I can't,
171
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:03.880
we don't have the word for cousins.
172
00:06:03.880 --> 00:06:05.200
Meania, we don't have that.
173
00:06:06.200 --> 00:06:08.400
My Mr. Wah, my father,
174
00:06:08.400 --> 00:06:09.320
a female father,
175
00:06:09.320 --> 00:06:12.000
they were fucked by my mom's meal,
176
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:14.520
my mom, my meal mom.
177
00:06:14.520 --> 00:06:16.160
We've never had this thing.
178
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:17.920
Let me stop you here for a minute.
179
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.360
We are on the journey of changing the minds
180
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:22.080
and the lives of people.
181
00:06:22.080 --> 00:06:25.320

Thank you.
185
00:06:29.960 --> 00:06:31.560
Now let's carry on with the conversation.
186
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:32.640
You've done great.
187
00:06:32.640 --> 00:06:34.320
You've been educating yourself around.
188
00:06:34.320 --> 00:06:36.320
And then finally you made a decision.
189
00:06:36.320 --> 00:06:37.320
Yes.
190
00:06:37.320 --> 00:06:40.520
Who made you or what reason did you have?
191
00:06:40.520 --> 00:06:43.480
Okay, first and foremost, in 2010.
192
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:47.280
So I really started to do more research on African history
193
00:06:47.280 --> 00:06:48.520
around 2010.
194
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:52.120
So there was this professor,
195
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:54.000
he passed away 2015.
196
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:56.640
His name is Professor Yusef Ben Yekanan.
197
00:06:56.640 --> 00:06:58.600
He's one of the top most Egyptologists,
198
00:06:58.600 --> 00:06:59.600
African Egyptologists.
199
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:01.880
So I started to research on him.
200
00:07:01.880 --> 00:07:03.800
So when I started reading his books,
201
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:06.560
I realized that we've been like to for all DCS
202
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:10.920
from religion to engineering to science.
203
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:13.640
I was like, Africans are really great, you know.
204
00:07:13.640 --> 00:07:16.240
So I was still reading his,
205
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:18.960
and then one time when I got my second job,
206
00:07:18.960 --> 00:07:19.640
my dad asked,
207
00:07:19.640 --> 00:07:21.480
oh, so Fred, this job that you're doing,
208
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:22.680
what do you do when I told him I do,
209
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:24.400
we'd make this and this and that.
210
00:07:24.400 --> 00:07:26.400
My father's a very big Afro optimist.
211
00:07:26.400 --> 00:07:28.520
He believes in the promise of Africa.
212
00:07:28.520 --> 00:07:30.840
He said, there's no place greater than Africa.
213
00:07:30.880 --> 00:07:33.800
Like, oh, Fred, this thing that you know how to make,
214
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:36.720
you know it would be a better value for Ghana and beyond.
215
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:39.680
So think about bringing this business
216
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:44.160
or you know how to Ghana and that's what started this journey.
217
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:45.680
And we've been at this transition.
218
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:48.280
So it can't be every year with our raw materials.
219
00:07:48.280 --> 00:07:50.800
You know how every environment is different.
220
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:53.160
The West is quite dry.
221
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:54.640
Ghana is very humid.
222
00:07:54.640 --> 00:07:57.960
So the way you process raw materials in the West
223
00:07:57.960 --> 00:08:01.200
is different from how you process it in Ghana.
224
00:08:01.200 --> 00:08:04.760
So I started coming, try an arrow, try an arrow, try an arrow.
225
00:08:04.760 --> 00:08:07.160
It'll go to markets, it won't work.
226
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:08.280
It'll go to markets, it won't work.
227
00:08:08.280 --> 00:08:11.240
While we're preparing to build a factory.
228
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:16.240
So by 2017, we had bought a prefab.
229
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:18.000
Prefab is prefabricated warehouse.
230
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:19.760
We bought it from China, brought it here.
231
00:08:19.760 --> 00:08:21.000
And then my business partner,
232
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:24.480
who is also my brother, Go Kofi came to Ghana, built their prefab.
233
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:27.240
And then we ordered our equipment raw materials.
234
00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:28.080
You put everything there.
235
00:08:28.080 --> 00:08:31.160
My senior brother, who I think I said that shared our story.
236
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:32.000
Yep.
237
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:35.480
Yes, he was the one who sacrificed his schooling.
238
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:37.680
That you know Fred, I think you have something
239
00:08:37.680 --> 00:08:38.960
you are greater than I am.
240
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:41.560
So you go and then I will stay home and work
241
00:08:41.560 --> 00:08:44.880
and pay your rent and stuff like that.
242
00:08:44.880 --> 00:08:46.760
So he came with me.
243
00:08:46.760 --> 00:08:49.760
And then we came and set up the factory.
244
00:08:49.760 --> 00:08:51.960
And then we started our production.
245
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:53.920
