Today, Nasto is building a beautiful home for his young family and expanding into an impressive villa in Nyabohanse Village. Like many young Kenyans, Nasto went to school, earned his degrees, and looked forward to the opportunities he hoped education would bring. But life had a different timeline. Instead of starting the career he had prepared for, he found himself working as a ticket officer at a bus station, embracing honest work while searching for his next opportunity. What he didn’t know then was that a conversation with I Am Marwa would introduce him to a completely different path, one that would eventually change the course of his life. In this episode, Nasto opens up about the highs and lows of his journey, the decisions that transformed his future, and why he has chosen to build and invest back in his village at such a young age. We also talk about the opportunities many young people overlook, the realities of starting over when life doesn’t unfold the way you expected, the importance of remaining open to new possibilities, and what success has come to mean for him. This is a conversation about resilience, embracing honest beginnings, creating opportunities where others see limitations, and building a life on your own terms.
