“So that day I decided I'm going to start a company. Had I known how difficult it is... I mean, but then, that naivety is essential. You’ve got to just take the plunge and then you'll figure it out.” Entrepreneurship is like running a marathon through a minefield, blindfolded, and our guest managed to cross the finish line with style. Born in the Congo, AJ’s family faced adversity straight out of a Hollywood drama. They fled the country, lost everything, and landed in Canada with nothing but their grit.

Along the way, he learned what’s truly important: adaptability, taking risks (even sweeping floors for free), and creating value by solving real-world problems.
