In Conversation with social entrepreneur Seun Sangoleye, a computer science graduate from Lagos State University in Nigeria, the conversation dips it's toes into what the state of health in the African continent is, what the critical points are, specifically with children. We talk a little on what businesses may need from their countries to be able to evolve into thriving businesses and the challenge on the table this time, is for Africa to produce & create for Africa. https://instagram.com/babygrubz.com.ng https://babygrubz.com/ http://linkedin.com/in/seun-sangoleye-92953b3a --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

In Part 2 of a 2 part conversation with Ram Hadji, a brand strategist, a CEO & TEDx speaker, we talk the state of the global community. The crises in the world today have solutions, maybe not just from the local citizens alone, but should that matter? Should where we come from, what we identify as, determine how much we care about the human race? https://instagram.com/ramhadji https://twitter.com/ramhadji https://linkedin.com/in/ramhadji --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

In Part 1 of a 2 part conversation with Ram Hadji, a brand strategist, a CEO & TEDx speaker, we question the state of leadership and we are being challenged to ask the 'right' questions; not just about Uganda but about the people of the continent. The elections in Uganda left us, the rest of the world, with so many questions, they left us wondering about the humanity that we claim to be fighting for; an internet shutdown on a normal day would never be ideal, what more during the international crisis we are facing? https://instagram.com/ramhadji https://twitter.com/ramhadji https://linkedin.com/in/ramhadji --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
