Khalif Kairo: A Lesson in Thriving After Losing a Business to Partners
We all know Khalif Kairo, former CEO of Imports by Kairo. In 2022, he watched as a dispute between him and his business partners turned into an acrimonious battle of press statements that nearly bankrupted and deflated him. In this episode, featuring never-heard-before details of what was going on behind the scenes, he tells us how he survived the public humiliation and used it to propel himself into a beautiful new business.

If you want to test your faith, start a business. If you want to test your humility, get employed.

I've picked three things from this interview: 1. Never bang a door when you leave 2. Prayer, prayer, prayer, prayer, prayer 3. Never ignore red flags
This guy is very sharp and eloquent. We grow through the challenges. My takeaway from this interview? Have a relationship with God and just KEEP GOING

do you know him personally or you are just being a sycophant like those politicians who praise the president???
I like the way he mentions God through out his career, that's definatly a lesson
Kairo, kindly dedicate an 1hr to high school students wkly to inspire and encourage. That spirit you've, is a gift worthy sharing.
All that wisdom, poise and eloquence at that age....sheeesh! Glory be to God. Keep winning Khalif
This is an interview I'd reccomend to every young man (18-28). The lessons Kairo has picked along the way are quite invaluable; can never be taught in any classroom. Maybe two observations: 1. Kindly consider dropping the background music for an interview this long 2. Face each other during the interview (improve on setup/sitting arrangement)

Yeah, the sitting positions are awkward 😬
A limited mindset will only cut you off from opportunities and set you up for failure. Challenge yourself beyond those self-imposed limits and purpose each day to put in extra effort in areas that matter to you. You must bring your resilience, persistence and faith,all these is seen in this young man...."GOD NOT ME" powerful & amazing phrase by khalif
The man who refined Luxury and Used Cars. Kudos Kairo 👏🏾… I liken his story to mine.., He will rise again and to greater heights. Its a lesson to learn when you ambitious and less moneyed they will want to drag you and finish you. They can Never take away what God has given you.. only delay. But in every battle and with God. God’s will prevail.. Mungu mbele
I have been following khalif since 2018. He inspired me to start my own import company. Alot of wisdom coming through off of this interveiw

Wow...this is such a testimony and great example to the church on how to operate in the Marketplace. Yeah, no one is perfect but all that matters is knowing the balance, which clearly you know how to.
One of the best conversations I have listened to... Wayua was spot on with her approach to the questions and Kairo was quite articulate and is full of wisdom. God bless y'all!

Khalif is young but has experiences and wisdom of a 50yr old and really grounded. I pray that he wins his court case and moves on with life unhindered. He is for sure passionate about cars. Let’s support him.

This story has resonated with me very much. Been through a similar experience. Thank you fKhalif for sharing this. It has uplifted me.
For a man to acknowledge God despite him being good at what he does is humbling enough making him engage wisdom and know when to how to who to pick a fight with leading him to wealth and not just riches
Grear and inspiring interview, great to see a man acknowledge God first for all he's success
Very sharp and visionary. One thing I know if you are the dream bearer even if they do anything the visions will never be the same.
He acknowledged God a lot...met him once and i can attest he is down to earth humble and articulate, focused, intelligent ...live up to the zealous spirit and never give up on your dreams regardless of the challenges along the way 💪..
This interview was brilliantly done.
This is without a doubt the BEST engagement/interview i've seen this year. I admire Kairo's resilience and spirit. May God continue to bless him and his business
Khalif, thank you. I have learned a lot. God will open doors for you!!!! A similar thing happened to me, and now a happy person.
Let's pray before becoming Business Partners . Some people are very greedy and only want themselves to win. God bless all honest business Women and Men.🙏
This is a great interview, I'm very inspired by Khalif's journey
Very nice interview, professional, precise with good life lessons. 👍
I've come to learn that, failure is what creates strong foundations in anything you're trying to achieve in life. Never wish for easy times but work on your skills. It was a great conversation. Keep it up.
Salute to Mr khalif he surely instilled me the confidence and strength of facing challenges. Atleast today I'm passionate of my dreams and plans. We need more such more of life coaching and experiencing videos for our youth. Kudos to you man. I'm futuristic after this videos
THE TRUTH WILL FOEVER BE A SHIELD BIG UP KAIRO👏👏👏

Mr kairo.....i salute you, so humble, sharp and eloquent. Big up....
I first heard about Imports by Kairo last year at an event called SUNSET CORSA held in Nyahururu airstrip. Loved their selection of cars. Sad to learn whats happening now 😢. I hope he comes back up again.

Great stuff Kairo. Keep on keeping on. Sore the heights. Great channel as well. His story reminds me of Dr. Dre when he left Death Raw Records and left everything to start a new. Its inspiring 👌🏾
Hope Kairo reads this has always given me good advice on DMs when searching for cars be blessed
This interview is top notch and educative. Kairo is very honest and humble. I see Devine wisdom. The interviewer too very nice, brilliant and talented. Just improve next time you need to face each other and a good setup. That would not mean you are romantic nor hoping….
Kairo is a beast in what he does; such a great inspiration.

"Never ignore the red flags", that's my take away, been in more than 2 business partnerships and from them all noticed a trend but ignored them all..That Cost me alot later on...right now, i have learnt to only be a part of projects and Businesses with intentional partnerships. 🤠
Loving how God is deep within your story, good job Kairo
This dude is going far!
I relate so much to this... I faced an almost similar hurdle last year about the same time around July and quit.. Left for a different workplace that was peaceful.. ☺️ Thankyou for this! Blessings
Goodness, such a young man who is so wise

I tried purchasing a vehicle from Imports by Kairo in January only to learn that it was yet to be paid for duty and still in Mombasa. They were asking me to pay a deposit to facilitate its release... Mpaka leo it is yet to be released. Now it all makes sense coz it is clear they have cashflow issues.
Kairo is such a gentleman, I love his consistency. He was really imports by Kairo, it's really stumbling as we speak
great and inspiring content.i have subscribed and look forward to the next show.....the set can be made neater..you dont even need new stuff..just arrange elements neatly...the flower plant growing out of kairo's head looks misplaced...hata laptop imekataa.
