Eva Yazhari — Managing Partner of Beyond Capital Ventures, early-stage investor, author of The Good Your Money Can Do, and advocate for conscious capitalism. Her funds have backed 50+ equity and 9 debt investments, reaching over 100 million customers across Africa and India. First and most recent dollar: First job: Working at a Staten Island bread shop. Today: Managing partner of a venture + private credit fund investing in emerging markets with LP capital. Family background & mindset: Father grew up in Tanzania; grandfather a medical doctor working with Catholic missions — early exposure shaped her view of Africa as opportunity, not risk. Parents were artists — exposure to art trained her in pattern recognition, now one of her investor superpowers. Education & mindset pivots: Started pre-med at Columbia → realized it was toxic competition. Pivoted to math, discovering both aptitude and love of problem solving. Training in mathematics = fluency in patterns, language of money, and risk analysis. Early career: VP at Entrust Capital (fund of hedge funds). Employee #2 → helped scale from $200M → $4.8B AUM. Managed relationships with activist hedge fund giants like Bill Ackman and Carl Icahn. Learned portfolio building, risk management, and fundraising skills that later became core to her VC work. Why venture capital in Africa & India? By 2050, 1 in 4 humans will be African; India today has the world's largest working-age population. 53% of the next decade's growth will come from these regions. Saw contrarian “alpha” opportunity most Western investors still dismiss. Sectors of focus: Healthcare Fintech Mobility Agtech (selectively) All are tech-enabled, solving essential problems for fast-growing middle classes. Conscious capitalism lens: Portfolio companies think beyond profits → align incentives with customers, governments, communities. Example: Rwanda's first licensed online pharmacy; startup scaling e-motorbikes after gas bikes banned. Beyond Capital gives founders a share of fund profits — equitable ownership model. Fundraising lessons: Fundraising is sales math: Eva raised her second fund after 550+ investor meetings → ~30–40 LPs. Funnel has to be very wide. Mindset matters: Rejections happen, but abundance mindset drives momentum. Referrals are gold: “Every dud knows a stud” — rejections often connect you to your best investors. Exude confidence from a clear strategy — investors back comfort + conviction. Personal insights: Considers herself an entrepreneur, not just an allocator. Believes leadership skills are as critical as financial acumen. Thinks of her fund as her “third child.” Alternate career: Pop star. Dream chat: Emma Grede (helped Kardashian brands scale). Learning style: Podcasts, audiobooks, physical books. Reading now: The Culture Code by Daniel Coyle. Her book: The Good Your Money Can Do. Pump-up song: The Rapture Pt. 3 by Black Coffee. Weakness: Moving slowly — always in motion. https://www.instagram.com/consciousinvestor/?hl=en

There's a Chinese proverb that says, “If you want to get rich, build a road first.” That philosophy has guided China's development strategy in Africa for much of the past 25 years, that's led to the construction of more than 100,000km of new roads across the continent. We wanted to find out, though, if it's true: does a new road actually pave the way for prosperity, as they say it does? So, we asked Malawi-based journalist Raphael Mweninguwe to visit two highways, the M1 and M26, to speak with local residents and shopkeepers about whether their lives have improved since the Chinese built these highways. Raphael joins Eric from the Malawian capital, Lilongwe, to discuss his report that was published on CGSP this week and explain why the question about whether the road helped improve their lives doesn't have a simple answer.

A new program is helping Illinoisans of African descent reconnect and reclaim ancestral ties lost due to the transatlantic slave trade. In a period spanning over 400 years, more than 13 million men, women, and children were forcibly transported across the Atlantic Ocean to work in the Americas, devastating familial bonds. Now, the Illinois Family Roots Pilot program is offering free DNA testing so people can trace their roots into the past and connect with living relatives. Reset learns more about the state program and hears from two Chicago-area residents who connected after DNA testing showed they were related.

Today we had the pleasure of welcoming Jillene Connors Belopolsky, Chief of Staff and Chief External Affairs Officer at the Clean Cooking Alliance (CCA), to our Houston studio. Jillene joined the CCA in 2021 and has over a decade of experience in energy sustainability, strategy, and innovation. She previously served as Head of North America for Earth Security Group and in several senior roles at BP, where she developed strategies addressing the environmental and societal impacts of technology, climate change, and carbon management. Established in 2010, the CCA works to enable, influence, and accelerate local transitions to clean cooking solutions globally by supporting governments, unlocking and diversifying funding, strengthening enterprises, and fostering a harmonized, resilient ecosystem. We were thrilled to hear Jillene's insights on this important and often overlooked issue. In our conversation, Jillene shares an overview of the CCA's mission, scope, and focus on energy poverty, as well as her personal journey in becoming interested in working to alleviate energy poverty to enable people to live the best lives of their own choosing. We discuss the importance of energy access for prosperity, the scale of the challenge with 675 million people without electricity and 2.1 billion relying on polluting cooking fuels, and the health, environmental, and economic impacts of lacking clean cooking solutions, as well as why clean cooking is often overlooked despite its broad benefits. Jillene walks us through the CCA's range of solutions including induction stoves, improved biomass stoves, LPG with PAYGO models, ethanol solutions, and domestic biogas systems, alongside financing models and clean cooking performance standards. We explore ecosystem participants, from stove and fuel manufacturers to distributors and technology providers, as well as innovations such as smart metering, fuel ATMs, e-cooking tariffs, and monitored biogas systems. We touch on different LPG delivery methods, why Kenya is a leading example due to its prioritized clean cooking policies and regulatory environment, the $8.5 billion annual funding gap for deploying clean cooking solutions, the capital mix needed, government and international support, and opportunities to harmonize taxes and tariffs, build trade, and scale solutions across East and West Africa. Additionally, we discuss how businesses and individuals can support clean cooking solutions, the importance of a diverse mix of approaches, and clean cooking's immediate, cost-effective benefits for health, environment, and energy access. We cover the necessity of government leadership in creating an enabling environment for clean cooking access and economic development, why a combined government-private sector approach is needed in Africa, the urgent need for private sector involvement to accelerate progress, the strategic opportunity for energy companies to leverage their expertise and resources to support clean cooking initiatives, and much more. It was a thought-provoking discussion and we're very grateful to Jillene for sharing her expertise with us. For additional information on the CCA, their 2024 Annual Report is linked here. Mike Bradley kicked off the show by noting the 10-year bond yield (~4.3%) was unchanged as July CPI reported in-line with expectations. July PPI is due Wednesday, and if it also reports in-line, markets will be anticipating the first of three interest rates cuts for 2025 at the September FOMC Meeting. Initial Jobless Claims, Retail Sales, and Consumer Sentiment reports are all set to report later this week. The S&P 500 rallied ~1% on Tuesday mostly due to the in-line CPI print. Equity markets over the next few months will likely be more driven by economic/world events than equity fundamentals. The path of least resistance still looks up and to the right,

Ghost takes listeners on a global tour of power plays and economic maneuvers, starting with the African Union's push for financial independence through gold-backed currency, challenging Western monetary control. He examines Vladimir Putin's calculated moves ahead of the Alaska summit with Trump, exploring how Russia positions itself as a diplomatic powerbroker while balancing alliances with China and the Global South. The episode also dives into China's Belt and Road debt-trap diplomacy, its tightening grip on African infrastructure, and how resource-rich nations are pushing back. From shifting alliances in the Middle East to the erosion of U.S. influence in the developing world, Ghost connects the dots on how economic sovereignty, energy politics, and strategic negotiations are redrawing the global map.

Africa is the world's youngest continent — and its future is everyone's future. By 2030, 70% of sub-Saharan Africa's population will be under the age of 30. By century's end, one in three people on the planet will be African. What happens in Africa will shape the course of the 21st century. That's why Global Dispatches is proud to launch a bold new podcast series: The Future of Africa. Produced in partnership with the African Union, The Elders, and the United Nations Foundation, this series explores how Africa's rising generation is transforming the world—and how global leaders are engaging with this dynamic shift. Hosted by the powerhouse Kenyan journalist Adelle Onyango, The Future of Africa features intergenerational conversations between former presidents, Nobel Peace Prize winners, diplomats, and trailblazing young leaders. These are solutions-driven discussions tackling the most urgent issues of our time: climate, education, economic growth, governance, and more. Africa's influence on global decision-making is rising as the world's youngest and fastest-growing continent — but will young people be given the power to shape it? Chukwuemeka Eze lays out why legitimacy at home is the foundation for influence abroad, while Chido Mpemba champions young people's leadership in every sphere of governance. Jake Obeng-Bediako warns against “waithood” as the lost years between education and meaningful leadership, and calls for young Africans to be decision-makers. Together, they highlight ways young African countries are navigating geopolitical shifts, increasing their role in multilateral forums, and leveraging demographic and economic momentum. This is a call-to-action for anyone who believes Africa should lead as an innovator on the world stage. Guest Speakers Jake Bediako, Director of Policy and Implementation for Global Citizens Move Afrika Initiative. Dr. Chukwuemeka Eze, Director for Democratic Futures in Africa at the Open Society Foundation Chido Mpemba, formerly the African Union's Special Youth Envoy and currently the Advisor to the African Union Commission Chairperson for Women, Gender and Youth.

Episode Summary:In this episode of Disaster Tough, host John Scardena sits down with Gwyn Winfield and Zoe Rutherford from CBRNe World for a deep dive into the evolving landscape of CBRN threats—chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosives—and how they intersect with hazmat incidents, emergency management, and homeland security.Gwyn and Zoe reveal how CBRNe World has built a unique global presence by blending expert CBRN reporting with bold, eye-catching covers and a touch of dark humor to make even the most technical hazardous materials response topics engaging. They share real-world stories ranging from chemical suicides to the surprising case of wedding beer poisoning in Africa, highlighting how CBRN incidents happen more often—and in more unexpected ways—than many realize.The discussion covers critical distinctions between CBRN vs. hazmat (with “intent” as a key factor), why strategic emergency planning is just as important as tactical response, and how global supply chain vulnerabilities, AI in CBRN, and 3D printing threats could shape the next generation of risks. The trio also explores the importance of cybersecurity and CBRN convergence, the challenges of staying teachable in a technical field, and the need for first responder CBRN training that blends operational skill with strategic awareness.With 20 years of archives and global reporting, CBRNe World continues to track international hazmat cases, radiological hazard response, and disaster risk reduction efforts worldwide. Gwyn and Zoe share how professionals, students, and first responders can access free CBRN resources, follow daily incident updates, and build the knowledge needed to prepare for complex emergencies.If you're in emergency management, hazardous materials response, or homeland security—or you just want to hear fascinating, real-world stories behind some of the most unusual and dangerous incidents around the globe—this is a must-listen conversation that combines serious expertise with an engaging, human approach. learn more about CBRNe World Magazine here! -------------------------Impulse: Bleeding Control Kits by Professionals for Professionals: https://www.dobermanemg.com/impulseDoberman Emergency Management Group provides subject matter experts in planning and training: www.dobermanemg.com

Learning to fly does not mean learning to travel by light airplane. In this episode, longtime aviation journalist Tom Haines shares tips he's learned from a lifetime of cross-country flying in piston airplanes, including many he learned while flying with the late Richard Collins. Tom is also deeply involved in efforts to prevent poaching in Africa, so he describes the unique uses of CubCrafters airplanes in Namibia. In the Ready to Copy segment, Tom talks about flying the B-25, when he thinks unleaded avgas will be available, and his advice for new airplane owners.SHOW LINKS:* ERP Air Wing: https://www.erp.ngo/* Air Care Alliance: https://www.aircarealliance.org/* Lightspeed Zulu 4: https://www.sportys.com/zulu4

Elon Musk left Washington and his “Department of Government Efficiency” initiative with a highly controversial and, many would say, disappointing track record. For followers of President Donald Trump and the idea of slashing what he’s claimed is out-of-control government spending, Musk’s self-reported $199 billion in savings (which cannot be independently confirmed) is a far cry from the $2 trillion the Tesla CEO promised. As far as Musk’s detractors are concerned, his cuts—often executed in haphazard fashion as his twenty-something minions unceremoniously fired long-serving federal employees—have not only disrupted how the government operates on a fundamental level, but also triggered dramatic downstream consequences, many irreversible, both domestically and across the globe. In this episode of Elon, Inc., Max Chafkin sits down with Wired magazine senior writer Makena Kelly to discuss the legacy Musk leaves behind in Washington. How do you make sense of the hundreds of thousands or people estimated to have already died in Africa and elsewhere because of Musk’s gleeful dismantling of USAID? Or how the supposed savings of “DOGE” compare to the $3.1 trillion recently tacked on to America’s $37 trillion national debt by Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill”? And what are the consequences for the country now that Musk has upended the lives and morale of those federal workers who remain, many of whom still work under the shadow of more firings? For Kelly, Musk’s lasting legacy will be one of cultural shakeup: Many of the people he and Trump have placed in positions of power say they think the federal government should be run more like a tech startup than a traditional bureaucracy. And even though he’s physically absent, they still don’t want to fall out of favor with the world’s richest man. Finally, Kelly outlines what she says we can expect from “DOGE 2.0.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kumi Arhin is doing something new in wine: he's bringing the flavors of his homeland in Ghana to American wine, offering a Riesling made with Lake Erie region grapes accented by Ghanaian ginger. His innovative Ofori Brothers Wine honors winemaking tradition but caters to members of the West African diaspora in the U.S., providing familiar flavors that speak of home. The name Ofori Brothers harkens back to his family's background in cocoa production in Ghana in the early twentieth century. The Ofori brothers were quire successful in that trade, and he wanted to honor them with this new project. Kumi recently won Crafted For Action's Crafted Fellows microgrant competition, and he has more unique wines planned (a rosé with hibiscus is on the horizon).In this interview, Kumi talks about how his family's legacy in cacao has impacted his current venture in wine, the significance of including a flavor ingredient from Ghana in a American wine and how that helps him reach new audiences, and the importance of storytelling along the way.You can learn more about Ofori Brothers Wine and order bottles here.Guest:Kumi Arhin is a Ghanaian-American entrepreneur, engineer, and founder of Ofori Brothers Wine, a brand that redefines premium wine through the bold, expressive flavors of Africa. Inspired by his family's legacy in Ghana's early cocoa trade, Kumi blends heritage with innovation to craft culturally rooted, sensorially distinct wines. His debut release, a ginger-infused Riesling, launched at the beginning of 2025, quickly sold out, and recently won the top prize at the Crafted for Action pitch competition.By day, Kumi works at the intersection of technology and culture as a Partner Engineer at YouTube Music. He previously founded a Y Combinator-backed edtech startup that reached over a million users globally. A Columbia University alum with a background in software engineering and product design, Kumi now channels his technical and entrepreneurial experience into building a wine label that connects diasporic legacy, flavor, and storytelling.

Reveille, Revellie Donks! Luke Thomas and Brian Campbell are back for a Monday edition of Morning Kombat! First up, the guys discuss the new exclusive deal the UFC signed with Paramount early this morning to broadcast all 43 of their live events beginning in 2026. Next, Fluffy Hernandez scored the best win of his career and eighth in a row as he brutally stopped Roman Dolidze in the fourth round via rear-naked choke. Just how impressive was this victory and does he now jump the line ahead of the winner of Caio Borralho-Nassourdine Imavov? Steve Erceg scored a unanimous decision victory over Ode Osbourne, but the fight nearly got out of hand several times. Should this lackluster performance be viewed as Erceg dealing with nerves after three consecutive losses or are there bigger issues with Erceg's development and overall skill level? And more results from UFC Apex 109, including Elijah Smith's slam KO of Toshiomi Kazama! Plus, the fellas recap the results from PFL Africa and the implications, including Francis Ngannou's no-show.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Get your ticket today!Check out the full episode: greatness.lnk.to/1806"For this kind of company it's like almost inverted. 'cause I am the product and it's like everyone depends on me. And if I don't show up and film... we don't upload." - MrBeastPicture this: You've built something incredible, but now you're trapped inside it. MrBeast just finished filming 15 hours a day for 40 straight days, his mental health sitting at a brutal 5 out of 10, and he's facing the entrepreneur's ultimate paradox - he IS his business. While most companies operate like pyramids with the CEO at the top, his empire is completely inverted. Every YouTube channel, every massive project, every world-changing initiative runs through him. When he disappears to build wells in Africa for 10 days, he returns to find 20-hour days booked solid for weeks as every division fights for his attention.But here's what makes this conversation extraordinary - MrBeast isn't complaining, he's strategizing. He's cracked the code on something most successful people never figure out: how to transition from being irreplaceable to building systems that don't need you. From creating the most-watched unscripted show in streaming history to developing talent that can carry shows without him, he's literally rebuilding his 300-person operation to scale beyond his personal limitations. This is the blueprint for every entrepreneur who's ever felt like their success became their prison.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter
