Letting Go of Your Parents' Expectations and Redefining Success For Yourself with Simon Chikumbu.

Simon Chikumbu is a Zimbabwean-born titan of industry who rose from rural roots to lead major firms across Africa. In this deeply personal episode, Kudzi and his father explore how generational values, family expectations, and career pivots shape our personal definitions of success. They unpack the mindset shift needed to break free from tradition and build your own path—even when it goes against what others expect of you.

– How to honor your roots without being bound by them

– The value of discipline and values over traditional career planning

– What to do when your dreams diverge from your family's
