''So, I started Inquiring Minds Bookstore with GH¢300 in November 2016; our best marketing strategy was to move from office to office, helping people to get Christian books and Bibles,'' he said in a post on Instagram.

Before establishing his business, he quit his administrator position at a hospital to start selling books.

Boadi is a former SDA Senior High School student in Kenyasi-Kumasi, where he emerged as one of the best students in the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

He headed to the university to specialise in Health Service Administration. His journey to starting a book venture has inspired many.
