From Employee to Empire Builder: Veronica Moleele's Penquin Journey

Loading player...
What does it take to lead with heart in a cutthroat industry? In this Lucky Hustle episode, Darren Morris sits down with Veronica Moleele—the visionary behind Penquin's legacy—to unpack:

💡 From intern to owner: How she climbed the ladder within the same agency—then bought it.
💡 "If you can sell, you can survive": Lessons from her hustler dad (and why likability > pressure).
💡 Leadership unplugged: Why she traded control for trust (and how it transformed her team).
💡 The CEO’s biggest fear: "What if I let my people down?" (Spoiler: She’s crushing it.)
Plus: Boxing, AI, and why SA’s creative industry needs more builders—not just talkers.
