This episode of Business & Beers is a very special episode as we interview our very own host, Steven Van Rooyen.

Steve successfully started Digidorx many years ago as a side hustle which eventually turned into his full-time job in 2019 that he has turned into a success even in a global pandemic.

This podcast is filled with so many golden nuggets that Steve gives along his journey of mentors and people that helped guide his path from varsity and deciding what to study, working for different companies and agencies along the way to eventually becoming a business owner in 2019.

If we could have more space in the summary, this would probably turn into an autobiography because it is that good! The podcast is filled with incredible stories that Steve shares with some good laughs and some pivotal points in his career that some people might be facing today.

One that stood out for Simon was how he chose the name Digidorx which was super interesting and hopefully inspires many budding entrepreneurs out there.

Top 5 lessons that Steve shares in starting his own business:

1. Being a small business owner, Cash is king.

2. Enjoy the freedom and enjoy what you do.

3. Enjoy the challenges because it is difficult, and no one teaches you this stuff.

4. The journey can get lonely so choose the people you surround yourself with carefully.

5. Appreciate the people around you like your suppliers and your clients.
