Business EN ↓ 227 episodes

For young professionals, this is a show where we talk about career experiences, entrepreneurship, business and investments. The main aim is to show that there is more than one way to be successful than just climbing the corporate ladder. We interview a new expert and get their advice on how to grow in your career. The show is based in South Africa. I am an experienced chartered accountant who has worked for large listed companies, small and medium enterprises (SMEs). I assist SMEs, small businesses and startups to grow their businesses and improve their cash flow. linktr.ee/uwaisasmal
