Joel Rao on Building Wealth, Brand Power & Championing Human Potential
In this episode of Financially Incorrect, we sit down with Joel Rao, CEO of Dentsu Kenya and co-founder of Africa Creative Agency, to explore the unique path that has shaped his life and career. Joel reflects on his early years growing up in Nairobi before moving to Webuye, where his father worked as an engineer in regional factories. He credits his parents as his greatest financial influences, teaching him discipline and how to manage limited resources. He also shares his first brush with entrepreneurship — being sent by boarding school students to buy biscuits, then charging a small premium and earning a “muling fee” for the service. His leadership journey took shape at Strathmore University, where joining AIESEC exposed him to global thinking, structured systems, and the power of networks. After his time in AIESEC, Joel secured a career opportunity in Mexico, which broadened his perspective on business and communication. Upon returning to Kenya, he applied those lessons to building brands and businesses that tell African stories — including taking the bold risk of launching the Dentsu School of Influence. Throughout the episode, Joel speaks candidly about identity, creativity, failure, and the importance of investing in people.
