The Sound of Accra Podcast

Adrian Daniels

In 2019, Adrian Daniels had a brainwave to launch a podcast platform to showcase Ghanaian excellence to the world. The internet is already crowded with content from Ghana: YouTube, Social Media pages, etc. However, after hosting 2x Networking Events during Christmas 2018 & 2019 in Accra for the Global African Diaspora, Adrian noticed a lack and desire for networking, whilst meeting many creatives and entrepreneurs from around the globe. In January 2020, The Sound of Accra Podcast was born. Powerful interviews with Top Founders, Entrepreneurs and Creatives from Ghanaian heritage or interest, leaving listeners with meaningful takeaways for life, business and career. New episodes weekly.

Mike acknowledged initial concerns in the industry that AI could take over human jobs but emphasised that, at least for now, AI should be seen more as a companion than a threat. He explained that while technology, including self-service tools and online platforms, is making certain processes more efficient, there is still a strong need for the “human touch,” especially in financial planning and advisory roles. Many people want to talk through their financial concerns with a real person who can ask them deeper questions, help clarify their goals, and provide tailored advice.
