Creating Impact Through Business: Joe Rehmann and Sam Cannova Discuss Sustainable Development in Africa

🎧 In this episode of Continuum™, Joe Rehmann, co-founder of Victory Farms in Kenya, joins us with Sam Cannova, who recently joined Victory Farm (and relocated from the US). These two Notre Dame graduates share their insights on creating sustainable agriculture in Africa. From pivoting career paths—Joe from investment banking to founding Victory Farms in 2015 and Sam from consulting at McKinsey to joining Joe's mission—their journey is driven by a profound sense of purpose. They share invaluable insights on leadership, the importance of culture and the impact of meaningful work.

As Joe states: “If you define success for yourself, you may end up holding yourself to a much higher standard and a higher goal for yourself in terms of what can actually be accomplished."

Coupled with Sam’s ability to grow and challenge himself (and all of us) are captivating. "Leaning into discomfort, especially task to task, is really the only way to grow. And certainly, the fastest way to grow by getting more reps and more challenging reps."

Discover how these two leaders are tackling malnutrition and environmental challenges head-on, proving that business can indeed be a force for good. 🚀
