Tara Fela-Durotoye | How to Build a Business That Outlives You

from The Long Form Podcast · host LF MEDIA

Why do so many African businesses collapse after their founders leave? In this episode of The Long Form Podcast, I sit down with Tara Fela-Durotoye, founder of House of Tara International and one of Africa's most influential entrepreneurs, to explore why building a successful business is only the beginning. We discuss entrepreneurship, leadership, scaling companies, founder dependency, wealth creation, Nigerian business culture, women in business, succession planning, and what it takes to build institutions that survive for generations. Tara also explains why so many founders become the biggest obstacle to their own success, what East African entrepreneurs can learn from Nigeria, and why making yourself replaceable is one of the most important leadership lessons in business. ShieldTech Hub- https://www.shieldtechub.com                                           Akagera Medicines- https://www.akageramedicines.com BasiGo Rwanda- https://www.basi-go.com/rwanda Join our Patreon to enjoy ad-free viewing https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheLongFormPod or support us via our MTN Mobile Money Code 95462 or directly to our phone number: +250795462739Visit Sanny Ntayombya's Official Website: https://sannyntayombya.comProduced by LF Media
