CAN DO! Unbreakable S3
CAN DO! Unbreakable S3
For young people looking to venture into entrepreneurship, the way in which the success of the journey is portrayed can often put emphasis on the finish line and not necessarily the race. This tends to dictate just how big we are allowed to dream.
‘The Unbreakable Entrepreneur’ campaign by CAN DO! has curated a culture where their passion for the young entrepreneur positions them to dream big, travel the unknown and adopt an UNBREAKABLE spirit.
In the third installment of their annual competition which aims to propel young people with existing businesses to higher heights – CAN DO! has teamed up with five inspiring entrepreneurs to share their journey with the youth.
The Sowetan born and raised businessman and founder of Mash Starts Up, Mashudu Modau currently identifies as an Entrepreneurship Evangelist. He has worked in the South African entrepreneurship development ecosystem for the last six years. He is joined by PR giant, Farah Fortune - founder of one of South Africa’s leading PR firms, African Star Communications.
