I failed at business for ten years before anything worked.

Ten years of trying

For about a decade, the businesses I started didn't work. In 2024, one finally did: Bricknbuild, a brick manufacturer with a 1-acre factory site at Ekumfi.

Those years were expensive training. Forged: The 21 Laws of Failure is the book that came out of them.

Physics, then law

• BSc Physics, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST)
• LLB, University of Ghana School of Law

Physics taught me that things move for reasons you can measure. Law taught me how rules hold a society together, and how they fail. I use both. Physics for how things work. Law for how people agree to make them work.

Why Ghana

In 1960, Ghana's GDP per person was $1,101. South Korea's was $1,038. By 2025, Korea's was $37,470 and Ghana's was $2,261. Source: World Bank, World Development Indicators (NY.GDP.PCAP.KD)

Africa's problem has never been ideas. The gap came from finishing: holding a course long enough, building institutions that outlast one leader, and measuring results in public. I try to build that way, and I write about how you can too.

My mission: build an Africa that stands for progress, wealth and peace for all of humanity.

I stand on their shoulders

Nkrumah, Garvey and many others did the hard work of imagining a free, rising Africa. I stand on their shoulders. My part is smaller and practical: build things that work, and show the numbers.
