JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUPQuestion form (please fill out)Welcome back to the Driven Young Podcast, today I have another awesome episode for you.In this episode, I sit down with Young Entrepreneur of the year Carlos Ferri an entrepreneur who in the space of just over a decade has built an empire of successful high-growth companies with services in transport, logistics, warehousing, HR and labour-hire.All under the banner of Zapala Corp, Ferri's enterprises have a global presence, meet untapped needs, are scalable and lift the efficiency of the industries they're in.Ten years ago he made the decision to come to Australia from Brazil and decided to learn English. He realised about 12 months in, his English was getting better and he made a decision to start up Zapala, 10 years later the has more than 100 employees in Australia, Singapore and Brazil.My chat with Carlos today is fantastic, I am not even sure what to say because we cover so many topics. We start off with his story and how he started from nothing when he moved to Australia, how he got to where he is, understanding how business works and the mindset we need to have and so much more.Carlos is actually the second Brazillian I have had on the show, Gabriella from episode 18 was also from Brazil and man the two of the work hard. As someone who grew up in New Zealand and Australia, I think I often forget how lucky we have it and how much opportunity there is for us. Because when far less fortunate people are able to move here the opportunity is so clear to them and they don’t stop until they get to where they want to be.Anyways, I hope you enjoy this episode, please shoot me a message on Insta if you would like and leave a review if you are enjoying the show, that would mean a lot to me.Find Carlos: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carlosferri/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carlosferriau/Check out Driven young on social media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drivenyoungpodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ByronjDempseyByron Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/byron__dempsey/Tik Tok: https://vm.tiktok.com/J8a8hS3/Support the show Hosted on Acast.
