In this episode, we puzzle over more than just life’s mysteries – we’re getting into literal puzzles! We’re celebrating Black History Month with a very special guest, Patrick Adom, co-founder of Very Puzzled. He talks about his business partner... who just happens to be his daughter (how’s that for keeping it in the family?). Patrick gives us the inside scoop on turning a bright idea into a thriving business that’s now proudly sold in Hamleys, John Lewis, Waterstones and other independent stores. Not bad for someone who admits he didn’t always apply himself in school! Patrick shares stories of growing up in Ghana, moving to the UK, and the wild ride of launching his company. Spoiler: the first sale was as satisfying as the final piece of a jigsaw! He talks about the importance of leaving a legacy and showing the world the beauty of African culture in a fun and engaging way—one puzzle piece at a time. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s possible to combine education and fun without your kids realizing they’re learning, Patrick has the answer. Very Puzzled’s vibrant, detailed jigsaw puzzles are designed to teach children (and adults, let’s be honest) about African landmarks and culture, sparking curiosity and making family bonding time an educational adventure. Perfect for parents, teachers, or anyone who loves a challenge! We also dive into some important questions, like: What’s harder, - Starting a business or pulling an all-nighter? - Ghanaian or Nigerian Jollof—which one reigns supreme? - And, how can a jigsaw puzzle change the way people view Africa? Tune in to hear Patrick's thoughts on entrepreneurship, legacy, and the next big steps for Very Puzzled. Spoiler alert: he's just getting started! P.S.
