Inspired by American motivational speaker, Les Brown, who overcame many personal challenges before finding his voice on radio, television, and stage, Mutombo found his passion when bitten by the bodybuilding bug a few years ago. Originally from the DRC, Mutombo overcame negativity and prejudice to compete in numerous national bodybuilding competitions. He says he’s also motivated by former international bodybuilding champion Arnold Schwarzenegger and technology entrepreneur, SA-born Elon Musk.
