How A Former Monk Created A Business School And Made Millions In His Spare Time

Meet Marko Saravanja, the former monk turned entrepreneur who’s extensive resume includes stints as a development worker, author and adventurer to name a few. Marko is the Founder and Chairman of the Regenesys Business School, a Sandton South Africa-based private higher education institution.

In this episode, Marko shares advice and gives us meaningful insights on what’s helped him become successful over the last two decades. As a teenager in his native Croatia, Marko felt a strong desire to serve needy in order to gain a deeper spiritual grounding, but could not leave his familial responsibilities unattended. During a meditation session, he came up with an idea to create a delivery service that would deliver fresh bread to the people in his hometown. With the help of a friend they launched the idea and before long the company was producing enough sustainable income to take care of his family.

Encouraged by the success of his first venture, Marko decided to move to South Africa and join a monastery. He spent the next seven years helping the poor and less privileged in the society. During his sojourn as a monk, he continued to reflect on the meaning of life, love and the purpose of our existence. These musings formed the basis of his theory of Spiritual Intelligence, a greater awareness of the inner power that lies within us. He eventually decided that he could make a significant impact on the society through business education. He decided to earn, and MBA and aPhD from the University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, and subsequently launch a business school.

Marko notes that he faced many challenges starting his business but nevertheless held on to the belief that “you only fail when you decide to give up”. His tenacity, drive and willingness to take big bets on himself paid off. Today, Regenesys is a leading business school with affiliates in Nigeria and India. In addition, Marko’s entrepreneurial instincts have helped him earn over $100 million over a five-year period in industries ranging from real estate to financial markets. Listen and learn about Marko’s amazing entrepreneurial journey.

Wabona cofounder

Simba Mabasha cofounder Wabona.com

In this week’s episode, we chat with Simba Mabasha the co-founder of Wabona, a streaming Video On Demand service based out of South Africa. Simba and his cofounded pioneered the online subscription video streaming service in South Africa with the intention of delivering African video content to markets in the African diaspora (Africans living outside of their home countries) and Pan Africa. Though a successful venture, today, the road to entrepreneurship was not a cake-walk for the lawyer turned entrepreneur who struggled to raise money to finance his dream. However, he decided to take some imaginative action after spotting an opportunity in the FMCG space and used the proceeds to finance his startup.

Simba noted that he’s had to overcome a lot of challenges, think creatively and negotiate his way through major obstacles. In the course of our discussion, he talks about everything from his time at the 88 mph incubator, his biggest regret, why he believes going Hollywood makes no sense, the impending turf WAR with IrokoTV and Buni Media and lots more. He believes that the African entrepreneur needs to develop skills to solve domestic problems and not import external solutions. So listen and learn but more importantly take action and make your dreams happen.

Do you think it is possible to create 10 million jobs by 2030? Well, today’s guest Kola Masha believes that through Agriculture, his firm can create 10 million sustainable jobs to combat the growing unemployment problem in Nigeria. So who is Kola Masha? He is the founder and managing director of Doreo Partners, an impact investing firm that leverages agriculture venture capital to drive youth employment — a critical need in countries such as Nigeria, where half the population is younger than 19 years and youth unemployment exceeds 50 percent. Doreo, invests in early-stage ventures in the agricultural value chain in West Africa, provides strategic advisory services to select clients, including the Gates Foundation and leading global investors in African agriculture. Kola has significant leadership experience on four continents with leading companies such as GE, ABIOMED and Notore Chemicals. At the latter, he was responsible for raising $130 million in equity and restructuring $360 million in debt at one the region’s largest agro-allied firms Notore Foods. A true renaissance man, Kola holds an M.B.A. from the Harvard Business School and a Master’s in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In addition, as a teenager he was the host of a widely syndicated talk show in Nigeria with a record of interviewing 23 guests in one day.
