    Farah Mohamed Exposes the Unemployment Crisis Costing Us Billions

    In this episode, we explored the transformative work King's Trust Canada is pursuing to improve youth employment outcomes with the organization’s CEO Farah Mohammed. Our conversation traced the Trust's remarkable ~50-year evolution - including the recent transitions as Prince Charles III became the King of England, highlighting their innovative approaches to tackling youth unemployment in Canada.  We delved into critical discussions about leadership transformation and organizational culture, especially in the post-COVID landscape where we all have to deal with fundamentally altered workplace dynamics and community connections. A significant portion of our conversation centered on Canadian identity and the King's direct engagement with indigenous leadership - a testament to the organization's commitment to meaningful change. The discussion included perspectives on entrepreneurship, relating tales from Startwell founder Qasim Virjee’s pioneering work enabling internet connectivity in East Africa to building community spaces at StartWell over the past seven years. Throughout our exchange, despite addressing serious challenges facing Canadian youth, there remains a persistent thread of optimism about future possibilities and the power of community-driven solutions.
