That perspective was one of the huge benefits that got Egbert von Frankenberg to where he is in his company Knightfox App Design here in Jamaica, and it’s one of the things I wanted to understand more, which is why he had to be on this podcast. His story was also interesting to me because he lived in several countries, but decided to put his roots here when many natives are looking for the first plane off this rock.

On today's episode, I was joined by my business partner, producer, and wife, Alexandra, and we talk about the top three lessons we learned from our first year in business in 2018.

It’s easy to take things for granted once they start to feel like the norm. We forget that they weren’t always there and that they could actually be gone one day.

Louis CK makes this joke about travelling by plane. He says it’s one of the most marvellous inventions of the last century (* I know the first flight was 1903, this sounds better *), yet we’re totally over it when the Wi-Fi on our flight doesn’t work.

We’ve come to accept as the norm, the increased focus and transparency on entrepreneurship and the business landscape in Jamaica. But it wasn’t always that way and many of those strides were made by Wealth Magazine and Business Access TV.

Garth Walker has co-founded many companies in many niches. From Creative Media & Events to Adam and Eve Day Spa, Wealth Magazine, Wealth Access Financial, Business Access TV, Growth Tech and I’m sure there are more to come. He’s a true entrepreneur who has taken massive risks, even in the face of what seemed to be a failure, when many others would have faltered.

In this episode we talk about:

  • How to create balance in your entrepreneurial endeavours,
  • How to take action on an idea that revolutionizes your niche,
  • How to live a rich life while taking big risks in business,
  • And so much more!
