Lucas Marang'a

🎙️✨ EPISODE 71: The AfriCAN Do! Podcast ✨🎙️

Karibu back to The AfriCAN Do! Podcast, where we celebrate the entrepreneurs proving every day that Africans CAN do! 🌍🚀

Today's conversation is one every entrepreneur needs to hear, because it covers the chapter few dare to talk about: what happens after the business? 🤔

We welcome Lucas Marang'a, an entrepreneur who built and ran Happening Ventures Ltd for an impressive 21 years! 💼🇰🇪 Two decades of business growth, change management, investor onboarding, and strategic diversification. Then in 2021, Lucas made one of the boldest decisions of his journey: he closed the company down. 🚪

But that was not the end of his story, it was a transition. Today Lucas is a certified Halftime transition coach and member of the International Coaching Federation, a board member, a storyteller, and an award-winning nature photographer. 📸🦁 He now walks with leaders navigating their own shifts from success to significance, and shares his reflections weekly at lucasmaranga.com. ✍🏾

His story raises the questions we rarely ask out loud: 🎯

💡 When is closing a business the right decision, and how do you do it well? 💡 How do you rebuild identity and purpose after 21 years as a founder? 💡 What does a "portfolio life" of coaching, boards, and creative passions look like after entrepreneurship?

Whether you are building, exiting, or reinventing yourself, this conversation is for you! 🙌🏾
