    "Navigating Jealousy and How to Deal With it" - With Sharmaine Tariro Muchemwa

    In a world where everyone seems to have made it, feeling like you have been left behind is something we are not strangers to. Whether it is a close friend telling you they have just received a promotion, or had a baby or recognized internationally for their work, the nasty feeling of jealousy often shows its head in such moments. So how do we navigate this feeling? Is it possible to stay happy for a friend and still be jealous of them? My good friend; Sharmaine Tariro Muchemwa and I hop on pod to discuss this thing called jealousy and share our own experiences with it. Absolutely relatable content!

    Bridging the Data Skills Gap in Africa- With Jeph Acheampong, Director of Blossom Academy

    Today on the podcast I am speaking to a young Afrikan who through his work is trying to close the data skills gap in Africa. But his journey does not begin there. Before setting up Blossom Academy, Jeph encountered challenges that would almost take him off course. Listen to this episode to find out how challenges that were meant to break him instead built him.

    "From Consumer to Creator Mindset" - With Anthony Dzamefe, CEO of Caveman Watches

    "From Consumer to Creator Mindset" - With Anthony Dzamefe, CEO of Caveman Watches

    This week on the podcast, i am speaking to Anthony Dzamefe, CEO of Caveman Watches - Ghana's first watchmaking brand. Anthony started as a human signage at the airport but he says he was hungry for more. We spoke about how his mind works and what sparked the idea to build and sell his own brand of watches instead of selling other brands. Anthony highlights the lessons he's taken from his environment and how they have shaped his approach to life and business. On mentorship he says, more than choosing a mentor, you have to be chosen by the mentor too. He offers practical advice on how to deal with mentors based on his experience. Anthony also challenged me to think differently about this podcast on something we discussed called the "survivorship bias".  If you are a budding entrepreneur, this is an episode not to miss!

RISING FORBES-ESQUE PODCAST. AN INCREDIBLE LISTEN!!

It's so inspiring to see that there are young Africans out there making an impact in their respective spaces whether it’s tech, fashion or food etc. I didn’t know many(more like all) of them andI’m grateful this podcast provides that platform to shed light on them. Because of the content, you have my 5 stars!!
