🎙️ Podcast Episode: Ken Clark — Building Iconic Brands, Entrepreneurship, and the Journey into Politics

In this compelling episode, I sit down with Ken Clark, the visionary entrepreneur behind some of South Africa’s most recognisable brands, including Twizza and Crickley Dairy. Ken shares an honest and grounded account of what it takes to build enduring businesses in competitive markets, while remaining rooted in values, discipline, and long term vision.

The conversation explores his entrepreneurial journey from idea to scale, unpacking the realities of funding, manufacturing, market penetration, and brand loyalty. Ken reflects on leadership under pressure, the sacrifices required to build sustainable enterprises, and the lessons learned while challenging dominant players in the beverage and dairy industries.

We also delve into his journey into politics, examining why business leaders increasingly feel compelled to engage in the public space. Ken speaks to the intersection of entrepreneurship, economic policy, and governance, offering insights on how private sector experience can contribute to national development and reform.
