As an intern he was given a task of filing the company documents. Because of his curiosity, he read each and every document that he filed and learnt so much such that in an internal quiz about the company he scored the highest marks and was awarded Ksh 500.

4⃣ ON COURAGE
Learn to take your losses when the Investment thesis fails to work. The first transaction when he came in as CEO was buying a stake in Rift Valley Railways. This didn't work and they made the decision to quit early enough.
