“The Lucky Hustle” Segment with Akhram Mohammed

Loading player...
Success is never just about luck—it’s about hustle, grit, and a willingness to learn. In this episode of The Lucky Hustle, Samm Marshall and Darren Morris sit down with Akhram Mohammed, a true embodiment of the self-made entrepreneur.

From selling samoosas on the streets as a kid to becoming a leader in the mobile industry with brands like Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Blackberry, and Huawei, Akhram’s journey is one of relentless ambition. After 10 years at Huawei, where he rose to VP of Operations, he took the leap into entrepreneurship—now running The Blanks Canvas (a business consultancy & marketing agency), Geekhub.co.za (a tech and lifestyle website), and Thinking Out Loud (a personal development podcast). And with Gyfter.co.za launching soon, he’s just getting started!

How does a street-smart hustler turn corporate success into entrepreneurial freedom? What lessons has he learned from decades in tech and business? And what does it really take to build your own path?

Join us for an inspiring deep dive into Akhram’s story—where hustle meets opportunity!
