Made Here Interview Series: Adam El-Agez

Meet Adam El-Agez - the PE teacher who ditched the classroom to build a global fitness app without writing a single line of code.

From trading time for money as a teacher to co-founding The Conqueror Challenges* , Adam's journey proves you don't need a computer science degree or the "perfect idea" to build a successful tech company. In these raw, unfiltered conversations with young Tauranga tech entrepreneur Zykyia Peka, Adam breaks down the real stuff they don't teach you in business school: how to survive 6-7 years of being "terrible," why AI is your generation's biggest opportunity, and why your biggest barrier to starting isn't having the wrong idea - it's thinking you need the right one. If you're wondering whether you're "technical enough" or "ready enough" to start something, Adam's about to change your mind.

* The Conqueror Challenges is a fitness app offering virtual fitness events designed to help people stay focused and motivated to exercise, now crushing it worldwide with its high completion rate and stunning collector real medals.
