#125 - Never Stay Broke: How Joseph Rutakangwa Rebuilt His Life from Zero - Part 1
In Part 1 of this powerful two part conversation, Ryan sits down with Joseph Rutakangwa, co-founder and CEO of Rwazi, one of the world’s leading decision AI platforms helping enterprise teams understand real consumer behavior in real time.
But before the technology…
Before the global customers…
Before the venture capital and the scale…
There was a nine year old boy in Tanzania who watched his entire world collapse.
In this first half of the interview, Joseph takes us into the heart of his early life:
• When his family went from wealth to poverty almost overnight
• When survival meant making donuts on the side of a road
• When borrowing salt, cutting food to one meal per day, and hustling for every dollar became the norm
• And when his mother’s belief in her children became the force that carried them forward
This is one of the most gripping and emotionally layered stories ever shared on the Personal Success Podcast. It’s a story of resilience, imagination, relentless motion, and the mindset that forms when you refuse to let reality decide your future.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, uncertain, or unsure how to rebuild, Joseph’s journey will show you what’s possible.
