Peter Nduati on Failure, Loss & Starting Over Again

Mon, 06 Oct 2025 10:25:08 +0000

Peter Nduati has lived through the highs of raising Ksh 40 million and building an empire, and the crushing lows of watching it all unravel. In this episode of Financially Incorrect, he breaks down why he does not believe in education insurance, and how that belief changed with experience. He talks candidly about the brutal reality of starting over after failure, the tax battles that almost broke him, and how public perception of wealth rarely reflects the truth. But more importantly, he shares why his biggest lessons didn’t come from success but they came from loss. From his approach to risk and resilience to the advice he gives younger entrepreneurs today, Peter’s story is a masterclass in rebuilding not just finances, but identity.
