What Will Tertius van Eeden Discover on His Hike?

Tertius van Eeden gets inspiration from the historical figures adorning his red wall, as you'll see in this episode of the "Unvarnished" video interview series. He jokingly calls these 16 influential people, including Nelson Mandela and Muhammad Ali, his "trusted Board of Directors."

Tertius' own ambition, passion and business sense have led to serious growth for his company, Print On Demand in Cape Town, South Africa. The company started eight years ago with one black-and-white printer and four staff members in a 64-square-meter space. Today, the company is thriving with advanced digital print technology in a state-of-the-art facility.

Tertius begins the interview by quoting Nelson Mandela: "Education is the most powerful weapon which can be used to change the world." He loves that digital print can push forward that mission, as Print On Demand's online system and digital presses enable the delivery of customized books with very short turnaround.

Where will the business go next, and what aspirations will he focus on in 2023? He takes regular meditative hikes to help him discover answers.

We're glad we caught Tertius before he went on that hike, and you'll catch some great insight in this "Unvarnished" episode. Tertius is great example of a business maverick whose passion makes a real difference to people who touch and feel print.
