For Javed, this is just par for the course, “Busy probably would be an understatement. I am involved in most aspects of the ventures I am leading. Fortunately, having a great team that I can rely on helps a lot. For me, there is no average workday, as each one is very different to the previous one - the only thing that is constant is the number of hours that I am working each day!” “What I do on any particular day depends on the ongoing projects and work-streams. Example; the past month I have been travelling significantly to speak at or be a panellist at conferences, lead a fundraising round, interviewing and hiring for new roles and spending time with our dev guys for launch of Zisk’s new web platform.” Javed continues, bringing the interview to an optimistic close; “I am a firm believer in giving back to society – this is why I was initially attracted to Humaniq and precisely why I started Zisk Properties and JKCoach.” “In addition to this, I love technology because either a smartphone or a tablet has become a companion as information is instantly available. Financial services, like money transfers, are more accessible and cheaper. Medical advancements mean a better quality of life and improved longevity for those affected with disease or involved in accidents, and so on. As such, let us all work together to leave a part of us behind through our creativity, fostering new technologies, and not being afraid of challenges – all the while remembering to share happiness, be kind and forgiving to humanity as well as all that is around us.”
