How do you know that you want to be an entrepeneur? And are you prepared to trade job security for an opportunity to build your dreams? Today I speak to Paul Keursten from Workshop 17 about these and other things. Being an entrepeneur is not for the fainthearted but if you have that fire in your belly you will never be satisfied working at a normal job that doesn't satisfy you. Paul shares his accidental introduction to entrepeneurship and how was doing it without realising it. He shares the wonderful advice that instead of focusing on building a business, you should focus on finding a solution. And the rest will follow. He believes that you should use every day to make an impact and a difference in someone's life. That is the essence of a life well-lived. He also warns that you have to be a bit crazy to be an entrepeneur but the rewards far outweigh the setbacks. In this interview, Paul Keursten talks about his love for family, how to enjoy the simple things in life and to never settle for anything less than living your best life. Listen to this podcast as he shares beautiful practical advice that will inspire and uplift you. And motivate you to start looking at your own life differently, and ask what can you do to live life better and in a much more meaningful way.

Paul Keursten, CEO and Co-founder of Workshop17 is all about vision, innovation and connecting people. And true to his nature, he started a business that reflects everything he believes in. He has this absolute belief that you must live a meaningful Iife that will make an impact on those around you. And he lives up to his own belief. Paul is one of those rare people who leads by example and only demands from others that which he is prepared to do himself. He encourages you to find what you love and do it with all your heart. Live with authenticity, inspire, motivate and create, and success will find you. When he shared a vision for Workshop17, an office space where the CEO and the guy from the Cape flats can meet and collaborate, it was, it seemed like just another unrealistic idea. But he went ahead and together with Mark Seftel used their money to invest in Workshop17. It was a huge risk that they took, but exactly the kind of thing that Paul would do because true to his nature he believes that you must put your money where your mouth is. That was eight years ago. And the business has grown so much since then. Many lessons were learnt, many mistakes were made but Paul kept on building that dream of an innovative workspace where you create, innovate and just have fun. He explained that is unthinkable to him to spend hours in traffic, go to a job that you hate, and working in an ugly space that drains you. He believes you deserve more and better because life is too precious to spend even one day being miserable. His vision was to create beautiful spaces where you will enjoy spending time , where creativity is fostered and people are connecting on a personal level. In short, a space where good things happen, and no two days are the same because each day is filled with unexpected developments that even he could never imagine in his wildest dreams. Paul and Mark poured their hearts into building a business from scratch, by introducing a totally new concept to South Africa, and it paid off wonderfully. The spaces of Workshop17 reflect the love and dedication of the founders and the energy they bring to every aspect of the business. Covid-19 has not been kind to them but after the initial setback they re-invented themselve and started re-thinking the business to deliver an even better service to their clients. Paul thrives in an environment where there are trust and mutual respect and where you feel free to be who you are. In this interview with Paul there was so much wisdom and honesty, and lessons that I personally took to heart. I hope you enjoy this podcast and find inspiration in the words of Paul Keursten, CEO and CO-founder of Workshop17. ANd hopefully you would want and go experience Workshop17 for yourself.

Last week, Africa’s early stage investor community came together for the 4th annual African Early Stage Investor Summit (#AAIS2017). At this exclusive investor-only event, hosted at Workshop17 in Cape Town, South Africa, key stakeholders in the ecosystem exchanged insights on best practice, shared lessons learnt, and debated what the roadmap for the future ought to look like. In this African Tech Roundup episode, Andile Masuku and Musa Kalenga discuss some of the more contentious issues unpacked at the conference-- including whether or not the hunt for the "African Unicorn" is constructive and how Africa-focused investors might best go about investing with exits in mind.
