From Dallas Uber Rides to Uganda Motorcycles: How One Partnership Is Transforming African Mobility Join host Henry Kaestner as he sits down with Jared Fulks, co-founder of PureFlow, for an inspiring conversation about building Kingdom businesses in emerging markets. From four consecutive Uber drivers from different African countries in Dallas to empowering thousands of motorcycle taxi drivers in Uganda, this episode reveals how God orchestrates divine appointments in everyday moments and business ventures alike. Discover how PureFlow started with just six motorcycles and $6,000 in a small Ugandan town and has grown into a hospitality-focused finance company serving thousands. Jared shares powerful lessons about the value of partnership born from prayer, the unexpected advantages of tier-two and tier-three cities, and why sometimes the best place to test a business idea isn't Silicon Valley—it's Africa. Key Topics: Divine appointments: Four African Uber drivers in 24 hours and what they reveal about staying spiritually present Starting with six bikes: How Colin emptied his savings and received 250 applications in 24 hours Partnership as a "God idea": Why prayer preceded partnership and the power of detailed operating agreements Tier-two and tier-three city advantages: Building trust and community away from capital cities Hospitality over finance: Reframing PureFlow as a hospitality business that creates places people want to return to Low-cost probes in Africa: Testing 100 ideas with a fraction of what it costs in the U.S. Living remotely while building locally: Managing a Uganda-based business from Atlanta through intentional engagement The football club strategy: Winning tournaments as customer acquisition and brand building Pressing the gas: Why not to subsidize yourself with philanthropy too soon Notable Quotes: "Partnership is not a good idea. It's a God idea. It is woven into the fabric of how we were created. Nobody would argue that we're created for people. And so why would we assume any different?" - Jared Fulks "If the business collapsed tomorrow, and it all just failed, which I hope it doesn't, I don't think it will. But if it did, the thing that I would take away most would be not the amazing people we've been able to hire, the thousands and thousands of people we serve, but it truly is the friendship and the brotherhood that I have with him." - Jared Fulks "Start with where you are, with what you have... He lost $6,000. Like to most people listening to this podcast, it's not gonna kill you to lose $6,000." - Jared Fulks
