5 Lessons I Learned About Identity, Culture, and Purpose After Leaving Home

Welcome to The Online Prosperity Show, and i’m your Host Prosper Taruvinga,

This is the number one place to find exclusive content on the people, ideas, and methods shaping prosperity in our world today. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your roots, uncertain about your purpose, or curious about how culture and identity can shape wealth and legacy, this episode speaks directly to you. Subscribe on your favourite platform so you never miss the powerful conversations designed to help you solve real problems and create meaningful success.

Today, we have the pleasure of welcoming Mthulisi Khumbula.

Now, Mthulisi… you describe yourself as a “young person with an old soul.” Which probably means while everyone else was out partying, you were somewhere asking deep questions about identity, culture, and purpose. That contrast alone makes this conversation fascinating because it blends humor with depth, curiosity with mission.

Born and raised in Zimbabwe and now based in Mauritius, trained in accounting and working in wealth management, Mthulisi is also the founder of Rwendo — a platform dedicated to Building African Pride and enhancing lives and livelihoods through culture, media, and storytelling. His journey is one of reflection, rediscovery, and redefining what prosperity truly means.

In this episode, we unpack the invisible lessons behind rejection, the courage to pursue purpose despite doubt, and the power of curiosity as a compass for impact. From feeling overlooked in leadership and sport, to learning the realities of merit, politics, and persistence, Mthulisi’s story is one of becoming undeniable through growth and self-awareness.

We explore how living away from home strengthened his connection to African culture, how curiosity, communication, and people became the pillars behind Rwendo, and why building pride in identity is not backward — but essential for progress.

This conversation reveals the not-so-obvious link between identity and prosperity, showing how purpose often hides inside the very questions we can’t stop asking. It’s a story about culture, courage, and creating impact by embracing who you truly are.

Most businesses don’t struggle because they lack effort or ideas.
They struggle because their growth depends on attention they don’t own.

This channel is about changing that.

I help coaches, consultants, and service-based founders turn attention into owned media assets — so their business compounds instead of constantly restarting.

No hype.
No algorithm chasing.
Just clear thinking, calm strategy, and systems that last.

What you’ll find here

• How to build visibility you actually own
• How to turn content into long-term assets
• How to grow without urgency or burnout
• How to design a business that works even when you stop posting
