Description

From earning $90 a day in post-war Libya to running a multi-million-shilling travel business, losing it all, and then raising $100K for his next venture, David Kimaniโ€™s journey is nothing short of remarkable. In this episode of Financially Incorrect, he opens up about the highs and lows of building Vacay Holiday Deals, a travel company that hit Ksh 82 million in bookings before everything came crashing down. He shares how he turned loss into learning, why every entrepreneur needs a SACCO, and the mindset shifts that helped him rebuild from scratch to launch Nesti, his new proptech startup. From saving his first salary to navigating business failure and financial fraud, Davidโ€™s story is a powerful reminder that resilience, not luck, builds lasting success โ€” and that sometimes losing money is the tuition you pay for real growth.
