Chris details his trip to Africa and his successful climb up Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. In 2026, the Chris Long Foundation celebrated 10 years of the Conquering Kili climb. The program's goal is to empower current and former athletes, military combat veterans, and clean water advocates to unite for collective impact and better communities by climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro and raising funds to build sustainable water wells. Former NFLers like Jason Kelce, Steven Jackson, Rob Ninkovich and more have joined countless former service men and woman and clean water advocates in attempting to summit Kili. On this year's trip, Chris and Nate Boyer were joined by former NFLer Alejandro Villanueva and nine other climbers. Chris and Cowboy Reid recount the climb including the daunting summit night where Alejandro nearly tapped out.

Conversations on AI typically deal with impacts in the US, Asia, and Europe. Yet the impact of AI on Africa, and Africa on AI, is immense. Professor and Director of the MIND Institute at the University of the Witwatersrand Benjamin Rosman joins David Rothkopf to explore the unique perspectives coming from Africa in the tech space, why grassroots movements drive innovation, and how unique resource constraints are forcing a creative departure from the “bigger is better” obsession in Silicon Valley.

Sa maraming lugar sa mundo, ang pagiging Kristiyano ay simpleng bahagi lang ng buhay. Pero sa Nigeria, ang pagsusuot ng krus o ang pagpunta sa simbahan tuwing Linggo ay maaaring maglagay sa iyo sa panganib. Halos araw-araw, may mga ulat ng mga simbahan na sinusunog, mga pari na kinikidnap, at mga komunidad na sinisira ng karahasan. Ayon sa Open Doors World Watch List, mas maraming Kristiyano ang pinapatay dahil sa kanilang pananampalataya sa Nigeria kaysa sa kahit anong bansa sa mundo. Sa gitna ng banta mula sa mga grupong tulad ng Boko Haram at iba pang militanteng grupo, tila imposible na mabuhay ang Kristiyanismo sa bansang ito. Pero dito nagiging mas nakakagulat ang kwento. Sa kabila ng persecution, ang Simbahang Katoliko sa Nigeria ay hindi humihina — lalo pa itong lumalago. Punong-puno ang mga simbahan. Dumarami ang mga seminarista. At ang bansa ay nagiging isa sa mga pinakamalaking sentro ng Katolisismo sa buong Africa. Paano nangyayari ito? Sa episode na ito, pag-uusapan natin: ✝️ Bakit napakadelikado maging Kristiyano sa Nigeria ✝️ Ang mga grupong responsable sa maraming pag-atake ✝️ Ang nakakagulat na paglago ng Simbahang Katoliko sa kabila ng persecution ✝️ At ang 3 dahilan kung bakit lalong tumitibay ang pananampalataya ng mga Kristiyano doon Ang kwentong ito ay isang matinding paalala ng sinabi ng sinaunang Kristiyanong manunulat na si Tertullian: "The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church." Kung gusto mong malaman kung paano lumalago ang pananampalataya sa gitna ng panganib, watch until the end.

In honor of International Women's Day 2026, End Witch Hunts hosted a powerful panel discussion bringing together advocates, legal experts, journalists, and survivors to raise awareness about witchcraft accusations targeting women in Nigeria and across Africa. This conversation is part of the global "Give to Gain" initiative — the theme of International Women's Day 2026 — calling on individuals, organizations, and governments to give resources, empathy, legal support, and voice so that women accused of witchcraft can gain justice, safety, and dignity.Witchcraft accusations disproportionately target women, especially those who are poor, widowed, elderly, or otherwise vulnerable. Accusation can mean social ostracism, physical violence, displacement, imprisonment, and even death. Our panelists shared firsthand experience, legal expertise, and on-the-ground advocacy work illuminating what is happening in Nigeria today and what all of us can do about it.How witchcraft accusations specifically harm women and compound existing inequalityThe psychological toll of accusation, including self-doubt and mental health impactsLegal protections that exist in Nigeria and why they are not being usedHow women can seek justice through courts, NGOs, and community channels even without financial resourcesThe role of patriarchy, poverty, and community silence in perpetuating accusationWhy empowerment and financial independence are protective factorsHow diaspora communities outside Nigeria are funding witchcraft accusations back homeWhat governments, international organizations, media, and individuals can give to create real changeThe critical importance of reaching rural communities in local languagesDr. Leo Igwe is the director of Advocacy for Alleged Witches (AfAW), an initiative working to end witch hunts in Africa by 2030, and the Critical Thinking Social Empowerment Foundation.

It's a very interesting time for African agriculture and food, the continent is realising it's potential to help feed the world, money is flowing into infrastructure to unlock this, more and more talent is coming into the space and the realisation that agro ecology or regenerative agriculture is no longer a nice niche with big margins but has the potential to become the predominant way of agriculture is performed. After putting over $20 million to work in East Africa, Ivan Mandela, founder of SHONA Group, has learned the hard way: chasing Western style so called unicorns might not be the right approach for a predominantly agricultural society. So he shifted his approach and started investing in real companies, to help create a functioning main street a functional real economy where unicorns will naturally start to occur. We discuss why Ivan ends up mostly backing female entrepreneurs, his tips for young students and his takes on nutrient density and quality.More about this episode.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return.

In this deep-dive interview on Found Connect, Nichole shares the raw, unfiltered reality of what it takes to build, fail, and scale in Nigeria and beyond.Nichole discusses her transition from a high-flying career at EY in Atlanta and Brazil to becoming the "Chief Problem Solver" in Lagos. She opens up about the "Mamba Mentality" she adopted from Kobe Bryant—a relentless, competitive drive that pushed her to leave her comfort zone and redefine success.

She breaks down why most businesses are actually not "venture-backable" and provides a masterclass for founders on the importance of timing, execution, and customer money over investor funding. Whether you are an aspiring entrepreneur, an investor, or someone looking for the motivation to "craft your life," this episode is packed with gems.From her early days as a "terrible child" jumping gates in Lagos to building 143—a wellness and Pilates sanctuary—Nichole's story is one of evolution.

In recognition of International Women's Month, we speak to Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the first woman and first African to lead the World Trade Organization. We discuss women representation in leadership, the impact of the latest Middle East conflict on African economies and the shifting balance of global trade and Africa's place in it.And, we also look at LGBTQ rights on the continent. In much of Africa, homosexuality remains criminalised in 33 out of 55 countries, according to the Institute for Security Studies. While South Africa recognises same-sex marriage, most African countries do not. In Botswana, two women are now challenging the government in court for the right to marry, despite same-sex relationships being decriminalised.Presenter : Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Keikantse Shumba and Chiamaka Dike Technical Producer: Jonathan Mwangi Senior Producer: Bella Twine and Blessing Aderogba Editors: Samuel Murunga and Maryam Abdalla

Send a textWhat if the body already knows how to heal itself — and we've simply forgotten how to listen?In this fascinating episode of Self Reflection Podcast, host Lira Ndifon sits down with Kevin “Free” Francis, a former professional basketball player turned wellness practitioner, to explore the hidden intelligence of the human body.After spending years playing professional basketball across the world — including China, Finland, Argentina, and Saudi Arabia — Kevin's journey eventually led him somewhere unexpected: The Gambia in West Africa.There, he began developing a holistic system called G God Body, a philosophy and practice centered around movement, nervous system regulation, and liquid fasting as tools for restoring balance in the body.Drawing from over 14 years of experience in physical therapy and biomechanics, Kevin shares how modern lifestyles often push our bodies into chronic stress, inflammation, and hormonal imbalance — and why the body may be constantly trying to repair itself beneath the surface.But the question becomes:Are we giving it the space to do so?In this episode, we explore:• The difference between digestion and absorption — and why it matters for energy and healing • How stress, hormones, and inflammation are deeply connected • Why many people unknowingly store emotional and physical stress inside the body • The science behind liquid fasting and metabolic reset • How the nervous system regulates healing • Why movement patterns can shape long-term health outcomes • The philosophy behind “adapting instead of coping” in life and wellness • Kevin's experience relocating to Africa and reconnecting with a different way of livingKevin also explains why he believes the body is more than just a physical structure — it is a temple, a system designed with extraordinary intelligence that can recalibrate when given the right environment.This conversation challenges many of the assumptions we hold about health.Instead of constantly pushing harder, working more, and stressing the body further… what if healing begins with slowing down, resetting, and allowing the body to do what it was designed to do?A Moment for Self ReflectionIf your body has been trying to send you signals…Have you been listening?Catchy OutroAt Self Reflection Podcast, we believe that healing, growth, and transformation all begin with one simple step:Pausing long enough to reflect.Each conversation is designed to explore mental health, personal development, and the deeper issues affecting our communities — while helping us reconnect with ourselves.And this episode is a powerful reminder that sometimes the answers we're searching for externally… may already exist within us.Support the showCall to Action: Engage with the Self-Reflection Podcast community!

The discussion contrasts management and leadership, critiques reliance on bureaucracy as a refuge from accountability, and highlights how colonial-era boundaries and continued dependence undermine African prosperity and unity.

Grab a beer and join us tonight as we cover the folklore of Trinidad! We're diving into six figures from one of the most culturally mixed islands in the Caribbean — the Soucouyant, a skin-shedding vampire who flies through the night as a ball of fire; the Douens, faceless spirits of unbaptized children with backwards feet; La Diablesse, a beautiful woman with a cow's hoof hidden under her dress who lures men into the forest; Gang Gang Sara, a woman who flew across the Atlantic from Africa and lost her power; the Duppy Baby, a roadside spirit that grows heavier the longer you hold it; and the silk cotton tree that connects all of them. West African tradition, French Catholic structure, and centuries of survival all compressed into the stories people in Trinidad still tell their kids today. https://www.necrnomipod.com https://www.patreon.com/necronomipod Sponsored by BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.com/necro Learn more about your ad choices.

Nobody talks about Sudan. Focusing on truth will always lead to good things. Increasing the people's knowledge is the key. Lots of taxpayer money goes to stabilize the world. The way this money is used is always suspect. How important is Sudan? Both the ICC and the UN make moves to control it's shores. And Russia needed a port, so they're involved in a big way. Sudan had many assets like gold, water, oil and farmland. Did we mention Niobium? Why do the people have nothing? Average age is 19. Who decided Africa would stay hungry? How do you make foreign aid work. Cindy McCain is finally out. Sieges, war and starving masses. The international community ignores it all. The British structure was designed to extract resources. Export corridors are called development. Keeping them hungry enough to manage. 85 billion in food imports annually. 60% of our planet's farm ready land is in Africa. It's a dirty guns for gold operation. The UAE is evil. Some of this was on Hunter's laptop. Beijing holds a lien on Sudan's production capacity. Do we have the will to change? A double win is within reach. It seems impossible to believe, but our country's future is closely tied to Africa.

Full Text of Readings Third Sunday of Lent Lectionary: 28 The Saint of the day is Saint John of God Saint John of God's Story Having given up active Christian belief while a soldier, John was 40 before the depth of his sinfulness began to dawn on him. He decided to give the rest of his life to God's service, and headed at once for Africa where he hoped to free captive Christians and, possibly, be martyred. Saint John of God was soon advised that his desire for martyrdom was not spiritually well based, and returned to Spain and the relatively prosaic activity of a religious goods store. Yet he was still not settled. Moved initially by a sermon of Saint John of Avila, he one day engaged in a public beating of himself, begging mercy and wildly repenting for his past life. Committed to a mental hospital for these actions, John was visited by Saint John of God, who advised him to be more actively involved in tending to the needs of others rather than in enduring personal hardships. John gained peace of heart, and shortly after left the hospital to begin work among the poor. He established a house where he wisely tended to the needs of the sick poor, at first doing his own begging. But, excited by the saint's great work and inspired by his devotion, many people began to back him up with money and provisions. Among them were the archbishop and marquis of Tarifa. Behind John's outward acts of total concern and love for Christ's sick poor was a deep interior prayer life which was reflected in his spirit of humility. These qualities attracted helpers who, 20 years after John's death, formed the Brothers Hospitallers, now a worldwide religious order. Saint John of God became ill after 10 years of service, but tried to disguise his ill health. He began to put the hospital's administrative work into order and appointed a leader for his helpers. He died under the care of a spiritual friend and admirer, Lady Ana Ossorio. Reflection The utter humility of John of God, which led to a totally selfless dedication to others, is most impressive. Here is a man who realized his nothingness in the face of God. The Lord blessed him with the gifts of prudence, patience, courage, enthusiasm, and the ability to influence and inspire others. He saw that in his early life he had turned away from the Lord, and, moved to receive his mercy, John began his new commitment to love others in openness to God's love.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Navigating Grief, Leadership, and Global Opportunity: Strategic Insights from Carl ManlanIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Carl Manlan, a prolific Author and the Head of Partnerships and Business Development at AGRA. Their wide-ranging conversation delved into the profound intersection of personal loss, empathetic leadership, and the immense economic potential within African markets. Carl, who also co-hosts the Inside the Blueprint Podcast with his daughter, shares how his poetry collection, I Can Breathe, serves as a vessel for processing grief and transforming it into a leadership strength. This episode provides a masterclass for executives and founders on how to cultivate more humane, resilient workplaces while staying attuned to the intergenerational shifts shaping the future of global business.From Personal Reflection to Empathetic Organizational DesignThe modern executive often operates at a pace that leaves little room for the "inner work" required to lead with true empathy. Carl Manlan advocates for a radical return to self-reflection, citing his own practice of a 120-day writing course as the foundation for his professional clarity. By dedicating time to pause and reconnect with formative experiences, leaders can dismantle the stoic barriers that often hinder authentic connection with their teams. This process isn't merely therapeutic; it is a strategic alignment tool that allows a leader to recognize that their employees are whole people who carry invisible burdens—including grief—into the workspace every day.Creating an empathetic work environment requires moving beyond performative sympathy toward structural support. Carl emphasizes that grief is a manifestation of love and a universal human experience that doesn't simply vanish at the office door. Leaders must normalize conversations around mental well-being and loss, providing "space rather than just sympathy." This means building flexibility into operational workflows and fostering a culture where vulnerability is modeled from the top down. When a leader acknowledges their own humanity, it gives the entire organization permission to be resilient, ultimately reducing burnout and increasing long-term employee engagement.Furthermore, the conversation highlighted the necessity of intergenerational dialogue in future-proofing an organization's culture. Through his work with his daughter, Carl demonstrates that the next generation of innovators—particularly in emerging markets like Africa—view the world through a lens of digital fluency and social impact. For businesses looking to tap into the "Africa that exists"—a continent of 1.4 billion people driven by youth and entrepreneurship—the approach must be one of partnership rather than paternalism. By bridging the gap between established leadership wisdom and the fresh curiosity of the youth, organizations can unlock new narratives of hope, healing, and unprecedented economic opportunity.About Carl ManlanCarl Manlan is a celebrated Author, poet, and international development professional. As the Head of Partnerships at AGRA, he works at the nexus of agriculture, finance, and economic transformation in Africa. He is the author of the moving poetry collection I Can Breathe and a dedicated advocate for mental health and intergenerational mentorship.About Carl Manlan OfficialCarl Manlan's official platform serves as a hub for his creative and professional endeavors. It features his published works, including I Can Breathe, and provides resources for those interested in the Inside the Blueprint Podcast. The platform emphasizes the power of storytelling to bridge cultural and generational divides, fostering global conversations on leadership and resilience.Links Mentioned in This Episode:Carl Manlan Official WebsiteCarl Manlan on LinkedInKey Episode HighlightsThe 120-Day Reflection: How a structured daily writing habit can sharpen executive decision-making and emotional intelligence.Grief as a Leadership Asset: Transforming personal loss into a catalyst for building high-trust, empathetic organizational cultures.The "Africa That Exists": Moving beyond risk-aversion to identify high-growth opportunities in African agriculture and tech-enabled entrepreneurship.Intergenerational Synergy: Lessons from co-hosting a podcast with a 13-year-old on how to mentor and learn from Gen Z.The Metaphor of Breath: Using poetry as a practical tool for healing and maintaining professional momentum during seasons of adversity.ConclusionCarl Manlan's insights remind us that the most effective leaders are those who stay connected to their own humanity. By embracing reflection, honoring the grieving process, and looking toward emerging markets with humility, you can build a legacy that is both personally fulfilling and globally impactful.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

Send us fan responses! Ever feel like the system is built to keep you compliant and broke? We go straight at the root: status, contracts, and how to build a private life the state doesn't control. From the way schools train obedience to the way courts extract value, we unpack how your identity is treated like a business—and how to take the driver's seat with trusts, DBAs, and clear boundaries that protect your assets and time.We map a practical blueprint. Start by formalizing your family trust and placing a holding company in a protective state like Nevada or Wyoming. Use DBAs for children's names, separate roles to avoid commingling, and learn the key signals that shift jurisdiction—like reserving rights and declining to contract in court. Then layer on finance: fund the trust, leverage cash value life insurance for lines of credit, and consider offshore jurisdictions such as Nevis or the Cook Islands for advanced asset protection. This isn't about hiding; it's about lawful structure and tax avoidance the way corporations have done for decades.Along the way, we explore identity, language, and power. Tribal models in Africa, private communities, and even micronations in Nevada highlight how groups claim autonomy with bylaws, culture, and clear leadership. We connect that to modern tools—crypto, mobile money, and private IDs for specific travel contexts—to move fluidly across borders and systems. And we ground it all in mindset: truth as an energy saver, intuition as a compass, and daily rituals that turn intent into action. Freedom is a paperwork skill and a discipline.

When a family sailing journey ends in capture by child soldiers during Mozambique's civil war, a man must protect his children while confronting the unsettling truth that his captors are both perpetrators of violence and children shaped by it. Today's episode featured Dave Muller. Dave has written about his experiences in a book entitled, “Not Child's Play”, available where books are sold or at https://notchildsplay.co.uk/ You can email Dave at dave.muller@notchildsplay.co.za Dave is on Instagram @davenotchildsplay, on Facebook @Dave Muller and on YouTube @DaveMuller-NotChildsPlayIn the 1960s and 1970s, both South Africa and Mozambique were part of the larger decolonization of Africa, with South Africa gaining full independence from Britain in 1961 and Mozambique gaining independence from Portugal in 1975. However, in the decolonization process, both were thrown into proxy battles, between old structures clinging to power and the larger global cold war between communist and capitalist superpowers. South Africa, even after independence, was still ruled by a white minority government, under the National Party. The National Party was populated mostly by the white ethnic group known as Afrikaners who spoke a language called Afrikaans. The National Party instituted apartheid, a brutally oppressive system of institutionalized racial segregation and white supremacy enforced in South Africa from 1948 to the early 1990s. South Africa shares a northeastern border with Mozambique. When Mozambique gained independence in 1975, they were ruled by the Communist party known as FRELIMO. FRELIMO became a major force opposing apartheid in neighboring South Africa. The South African apartheid government, in response to FRELIMO's opposition, actively destabilized Mozambique from the inside by propping up a rebel group known as RENAMO. This led to a violent 15-year civil war in Mozambique, between the ruling, communist-backed FRELIMO party and the South African-backed RENAMO rebel group. In the first part of today's episode, you'll hear our storyteller speak about growing up in South Africa during apartheid as a white man, but he was not an Afrikaner, and grew up in a family that was opposed to apartheid. The second part of the story takes place in Mozambique, where he and his family are held by the RENAMO rebel group and caught in the chaos and fighting between FRELIMO and RENAMO, the two warring factions in the civil war there. Of course there is much more to say about all of this, and Dave will speak to some of these issues as he experienced them. I encourage you all to read more about the brutal and complex history of decolonization and apartheid in Africa. And one final note, you'll hear Dave talking about “Arwen” several times. In case it isn't clear right away, he is referring to his boat that he built.
