I had the privilege of a chat with Thomas Dexter Jakes Sr, better known as TD Jakes, when he was in town for the recent Soar Africa forum.

He didn’t come in his capacity as the pastor of mega-church Potter’s House, but as an entrepreneur. An interesting fact is that his business, TD Jakes Enterprises, has lasted longer than his church.
