On this mouth-watering episode of Business Jumpstart, DJ Fresh sits down with culinary entrepreneur Mahadi Manyeneng, whose journey from banking to the kitchen is as bold as the flavours she creates.

Mahadi shares how her deep passion for food began, the childhood memories and inspirations that shaped her love for cooking, and the moment she realised that the corporate world was no longer where her heart truly lived. With honesty and humour, she unpacks her courageous decision to leave a stable career in banking and pursue her calling in the food industry, a path filled with risk, creativity, and undeniable purpose.

From discovering her culinary voice to building a brand rooted in authenticity, Mahadi offers powerful lessons on trusting your instincts, choosing passion over comfort, and turning talent into a thriving business.

Start your morning inspired with Business Jumpstart, only on Fresh Breakfast with DJ Fresh.
