From China to Mexico: How Quayjo Rebuilt His Business from the Ground Up

What if the business you’ve built isn’t the one you actually want?

That’s exactly what happened to my guest, Kwadwo Sampany-Kessie, Strategic Facebook Ads Partner and host of The Art of Online Business podcast. His journey is anything but traditional—from teaching Mandarin in China to an unexpected "forever vacation" in Mexico that reshaped his entire career.

In this episode, Kwadwo [QUĀY.jo] and I drop in on a raw and real conversation about what happens when business pivots aren’t just necessary, but non-negotiable. We’re talking about rebuilding from scratch, the truth about Facebook ads for course creators, and why being “famous” doesn’t always pay the bills (literally).

If you’ve ever found yourself at a crossroads, wondering if your business is still the right fit, this episode is a must-listen.
