Simon Crafts on Creativity, Hustle, Building, Failing & Empowering Youth — One Skateboard at a Time

Simon Crafts (Simon Aloyce Mng'ong'o) is the founder of Vertex Brand Studios — a photographer, cinematographer, and all-around creative who’s become a source of inspiration in Tanzania’s skateboarding and youth community. With firsthand experience navigating the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, Simon brings a powerful story of resilience.

In this episode of Budi, we dive into topics like how creatives can pay themselves through saving and investing, setting the right prices, dealing with loss, and the journey of rebuilding. Simon opens up about the tough reality of starting over after failure, and most importantly, the valuable lessons entrepreneurship has taught him along the way.
