#84 | The Cost of Entrepreneurship (Nigel Sparks)

Everyone wants to be the boss.

Until they become one.

This week, we speak with Nigel Sparks from The Cap City to unpack how a mix of curiosity, obsession and a heart for the community helped him built not just a business, but a movement.

Topics discussed:

1. Curiosity as his main driver
2. Nigel's dad's advice to simply "be a good human being"
3. Nigel's failed businesses prior to his big break
4. Why Cap City chose to go ultra local
5. What's the Malaysian story that The Cap City wants to push
6. Being the talk of the town, before you become the talk of the world
7. Understanding the "payung" movement
8. Why couldn't Nigel answer who "payungs" him
9. How Nigel holds humility and fame in tension
10. The value of staying in your lane
11. Why entrepreneurship isn't for everyone.
