The Impact Masters Podcast explores the forces shaping Africa’s technology and innovation ecosystem while connecting them to global tech trends and best practices. Hosted by Michael Kimathi, we feature authentic conversations with founders, developers, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders who are building the future of Africa and influencing the global digital economy. Each episode dives deep into how technology is transforming the way we live, work, create, and govern: from engineering and digital transformation to software development, developer experience, DevRel, product design, AI, and startup growth. While we are deeply rooted in Africa’s tech journey, we also explore global innovations, global movers and shakers, lessons, and collaborations that inspire local impact and worldwide relevance. We tell authentic stories, preserve Africa’s tech history, share actionable insights, and challenge the status quo: Body, Mind, and Spirit. If you’re a tech founder, developer, investor, or innovator looking to understand Africa’s digital future while staying connected to global technology trends, this podcast is your guide.

    Innovative Business Development & Growth with Ryan Dewey Smith | Impact Masters Podcast

    Let us know how we are doing Ryan Dewey-Smith, founder and CEO of Inperium Inc., reveals how he's revolutionizing the nonprofit world by creating a collaborative network where organizations maintain their autonomy while sharing resources. With over three decades of leadership experience, Ryan shares his journey from founding a single service organization to building a network of 38 companies across 20 states that directs an impressive 90% of funding directly to service recipients. Growing up as an only child who changed schools eight times before ninth grade, Ryan developed a keen awareness of others' needs and a philosophy centered on relationships. This foundation led him to create a nonprofit model unlike any other – one where competitors become collaborators to overcome shared challenges like rising costs and uncertain funding.  The conversation explores how technology plays a crucial role in this collaboration, with AI and automation streamlining operations across the network. Ryan explains how Imperium adapts to different communication preferences across generations, from traditional postal mail to gamified apps that engage younger employees through rewards and achievements. Most compelling is Ryan's leadership approach, bringing together dozens of CEOs monthly to share challenges and solutions in a "constellation rather than top-down" structure. This peer-driven model creates resilience against funding cuts that would devastate standalone organizations. For entrepreneurs and nonprofit leaders feeling isolated in their work, Ryan offers actionable advice: "Call a peer at a competitor organization and have a conversation." Not about secrets or funding sources, but about shared operational challenges where collaboration could create efficiency without compromising identity. This simple step might be the beginning of transformative partnerships that allow more resources to flow directly to those who need them most. 🔔 Subscribe to Impact Masters Stay updated on transformative conversations with leaders, builders & changemakers. 👉 https://www.youtube.com/@IMPACTMASTERSMEDIA 🎧 Listen on Your Favorite Platform Apple Podcasts ► https://podcasts.apple.com/ke/podcast/impact-masters-podcast/id1652228341 Spotify ► https://t.co/zmQxOd6XwG YouTube ► https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpRymy-NTwTzg98WpkLJXJbEs3eX_gT7z Amazon Music ► https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/797ccc7b-d91b-4f09-9d0b-344a3d895692 Podcast Index ► https://podcastindex.org/podcast/5637888 Podchaser ► https://ww Support the show Subscribe & Follow Check us out at www.impactmasters.io.
