He Left Canada to Build a Factory in Ghana… Then It Caught Fire (Twice)

From Canadian scientist to Ghana factory owner: Why ownership beats unlimited corporate cards - and the brutal truth about two fires, $50,000 equipment losses, employee theft, and the engineering education crisis keeping Africa trapped in raw material export cycles while China produces 500,000 engineers annually. In this explosive episode of Konnected Minds, Fred Ampadu - founder of Posar Industries and former award-winning chemist in North America - dismantles the dangerous safety-first fantasy keeping African professionals trapped in Western corporate comfort while generational wealth gets built by those who return home, survive fires, betrayals, and spontaneous combustion accusations to manufacture locally what Ghana imports for billions.
