From AI disruption to human advantage: Why communication is the one billion-dollar skill artificial intelligence can never replicate - and how Africans can build wealth empires from knowledge asymmetry. In this explosive episode of Konnected Minds, Futurist Kwame returns to dismantle the AI myths keeping young Africans confused about the greatest economic opportunity of our generation. This isn't another tech tutorial about prompt engineering or building apps - it's a systematic breakdown of why the ONE human skill AI cannot touch is emotionally-charged communication, and why becoming a knowledge merchant in this moment of technological disruption is the fastest path to wealth. Critical revelations include: • Why knowledge asymmetry is the gold mine right now - become the custodian of AI knowledge in your industry • The four forms of communication: nonverbal, verbal, written, visual - and why over 80% is nonverbal • How Future Kwame's AI content team (average age 21) churns out 20 pieces daily, growing Instagram from 20K to 136K • Why every company needs an in-house R&D department plugged into AI - churches, agriculture, real estate, government Guest: Futurist Kwame (Kwame A.

From certificate worship to critical thinking: Why your education ends where real success begins - and the daily habit that separates achievers from dreamers. In this transformative episode of Konnected Minds, Aisini Aman returns with unfiltered wisdom that demolishes the certificate-chasing mentality keeping young Africans trapped in employment fantasies. With his signature mystical positivity, he exposes a fundamental truth: the education system deliberately limits your thinking to keep you seeking jobs instead of creating value. The conversation cuts deep into the emotional warfare of entrepreneurship - dealing with people who chop your money, navigating daily problems that threaten to derail your vision, and the principle of never deviating from core truth. Aman reveals why sticking to intrinsic values like honesty, compassion, and work ethic matters more than any material gain, and why nations that sacrifice human value for wealth eventually destroy themselves with guns and knives. He challenges the colonial ideology that not everyone can be an entrepreneur, pointing to the graduate sitting at home with village land perfect for cassava farming. "Entrepreneurship is solving problems," he declares, "there's nothing magical about it." The episode exposes how physical colonization extended into knowledge colonization, making Africans believe their own innovations are worthless while chasing validation from New York and London. Critical revelations include: • Why your certificate is not proof of education - the resource you produce is • The topology principle: the further you move from core truth, the less successful you become • Why there's a difference between having money and having joy, value, and fulfillment • How stealing from others is actually stealing from yourself - a principle of wealth creation • The daily habit that guarantees long-term success: knowledge acquisition every day • Why Ghanaian musicians gain traction from home, not abroad - your roots are your strength • The religion test: does it promote love, truth, and justice, or financial ignorance disguised as faith? • Why God giving everyone talent means everyone can be somebody From watching YouTube videos to buying CDs before the internet era, Aman demonstrates that continuous learning is non-negotiable for success. He dismantles the lie that some people must remain poor to serve the rich, revealing how robots and machines can handle dignity-stripping work while humans focus on innovation. The conversation reaches its peak with a provocative question about leadership: do those in power not know the truth, or do they know but deliberately keep people confused? Aman's answer cuts through the confusion: "You cannot really have the truth and teach lies. If your teaching is right, why are the people confused? Why are they begging for visas to jump out?" This isn't motivation - it's a systematic breakdown of the design systems that bring results. From financial principles to entrepreneurship frameworks to the anthropology of truth, Aman provides clarity of thought as the true form of success. He challenges the ideology that keeps Africans creating content for international audiences who barely watch, when the real traction comes from home. The episode concludes with wisdom about daily habits: knowledge acquisition through reading, searching, watching, and learning - the compound interest of personal development that transforms dreamers into achievers. This is the unfiltered truth about why clarity, core values, and continuous learning matter more than certificates, why your roots are your strength, and why the treasure of creation is human value that must never be sacrificed for material gain.

From zero to millions without capital: Why Africa's 80% self-employed economy requires a different playbook - and the mindset shift that changes everything. In this transformative episode of Konnected Minds, a seasoned African entrepreneur returns to shatter the Western business model myth that's keeping young Africans broke and waiting for investors who never come. After building multiple businesses across construction, agriculture, fashion retail, and real estate development, this engineering graduate reveals why copying Silicon Valley's "idea-to-investor" formula is killing African entrepreneurship. The conversation exposes a fundamental truth: while 80% of Ghanaians create their own income, young graduates are still chasing the 20% of jobs that don't exist, waiting for capital that won't come, and following business models designed for economies where 90% are employed. The guest shares his painful journey from being owed millions while owing others, to realizing that building for clients meant they owned the assets while he owned the stress. Critical revelations include: • Why "I am the capital" isn't motivational fluff but mathematical reality in African markets • The concentration of knowledge principle: How reading becomes overflow that must find expression • Why building projects for others vs. building your own changes everything about wealth creation • The African business model: Start with what you have, not what investors might give • How intellectual capital trumps financial capital in economies without structured funding • The mindset prison: Why your teacher's broke mentality is your biggest barrier to success • Why liberating African minds matters more than just creating jobs From writing life goals after National Service to reading through two years of waiting for university admission, from engineering mathematics to African consciousness, this episode traces the evolution from employee mindset to entrepreneurial thinking. The guest challenges the startup culture obsession with raising capital, revealing how his grandparents built businesses without pitch decks, how market women create empires without MBAs, and why the person asking for blocks to sell is closer to success than the graduate waiting for seed funding. The conversation reaches its peak with a provocative insight: changing mindsets will transform Africa faster than building businesses, because businesses built on colonial thinking patterns will never achieve true liberation. This isn't about motivation - it's about recognizing that in economies where formal structures don't exist, your knowledge, relationships, and willingness to start are the only capital that matters.

From broke to building empires: Why school knowledge isn't enough - and the daily habits that separate millionaires from dreamers. In this transformative episode of Konnected Minds, a seasoned entrepreneur reveals the brutal truth about success in Ghana: the certificate ends where real education begins. Starting with just 49 cedis after resignation and employees waiting to be paid, this business mogul shares how they built multiple shops, a three-storey warehouse, and apartment units - all without a single bank loan. The conversation exposes why 80% of registered businesses in Africa are just paperwork collecting dust, while those who understand organic growth are quietly building empires. From taking children to school every morning to connect with them, to watching Frederick Casey Price videos when feeling low, this episode reveals the daily habits that compound into extraordinary success. Critical insights revealed: • Why connecting with dead mentors through their content can be more valuable than physical networking • The organic growth strategy: 10 cedis to 100 to 1,000 to 10,000 to 100,000 monthly profit • How to build from one shop to six without touching bank loans • Why knowledge is the highest-demand product nobody's selling properly • The digital opportunity: How a circle accessories seller saves 300 cedis daily through TikTok • Why waiting for employment after university means you didn't live in your time • The 1% rule: Getting just 1% of Ghana's 35 million population as customers From selling fast food on TikTok to teaching expertise online, the episode demolishes every excuse about limited resources. The guest challenges young Ghanaians to stop waiting for government jobs paying $20,000 when they can monetize their knowledge today. They reveal how someone made 3,000 cedis from 190 TikTok followers - proving that attention, not capital, is the new currency. The conversation reaches its peak with a provocative truth: poverty is harder than entrepreneurship. While everyone complains about difficulty, they forget that staying broke is the toughest job of all. This isn't another motivational sermon - it's a tactical breakdown of how to identify opportunities everywhere, from KVIP toilets generating millions to WhatsApp groups becoming revenue streams.

From IOUs to investment rounds: The brutal truth about raising funds in Africa - and why giving away 50% equity almost destroyed everything. In this raw and unfiltered episode of Konnected Minds, Francis pulls back the curtain on the harsh realities of building a business from absolute zero in Ghana. Starting with nothing but determination, he reveals how he wrote IOUs to co-founders he couldn't pay, got evicted by a landlady for "causing too much rubbish," and transformed a single themed donut order for Uber into their first investment round. The conversation exposes a fundamental truth most African entrepreneurs miss: investors aren't charity organizations looking to help you - they're multipliers seeking documented proof that their money will grow. Francis shares how most founders fail at fundraising because everything lives in their heads with zero documentation - no sales ledgers, no expense tracking, no evidence that invested capital will multiply. He opens up about the devastating cost of desperation, revealing how he gave away over 50% equity to his first investor, losing majority ownership while fighting to remain CEO of the company he built. "People change when money comes," he reflects, comparing it to getting married only to have your spouse forget you exist once they make money. Critical lessons revealed: • Why the fastest response time (minutes, not days) won them the Uber deal that changed everything • The IOU system that kept co-founders loyal when there was literally no money • How to think like an investor seeking multiplication, not a founder seeking help • Why "the economy is bad" is a lie - money just changed hands, it didn't disappear • The exact documentation framework that attracts investment vs endlessly chasing it • The painful reality of equity vs debt - and why he'd choose debt if starting over • Why working backwards from desired profit beats hoping for organic growth • The mentor advantage he didn't have - and why it cost him years of unnecessary grinding From selling phones at UTC Accra in secondary school to building multiple ventures, Francis demonstrates that raising funds isn't about crafting sob stories - it's about presenting data that shows clear paths to multiplication. He challenges the notion that there's no money in Ghana, revealing instead that there's "loose money" everywhere, desperately seeking documented opportunities to grow. The episode takes an unexpected turn as Francis discusses building business with his wife, emphasizing that communication and understanding trump everything else in partnership. He shares the painful decision to close a flashy shop after 11 months when data showed delivery donuts outsold everything else - proving that listening to market data beats emotional attachment to ideas. This isn't another generic fundraising tutorial - it's the unvarnished truth about what it takes to attract investment in African markets, including the mistakes that cost founders their companies, the systems that separate fundable businesses from eternal ideas, and why most Ghanaian businesses fail because they never listen to what the market is actually telling them.

From spiritual frequencies to business magnetism: Why your inner peace determines your outer success - and the shocking truth about why most entrepreneurs are failing. In this profound episode of Konnected Minds, Dr. Baffour Jan returns to shatter every conventional notion about success, revealing why 99% of entrepreneurs are trapped in what he calls the 'Iron Age' - hustling endlessly with zero magnetism, chasing objects that promise peace but deliver misery. Two months after their first conversation left viewers questioning everything, this continuation exposes the four stages of human consciousness and why your business struggles have nothing to do with the economy. The conversation begins with a startling revelation: success isn't about getting things to shine - it's about shining first to attract things. Dr. Jan breaks down why most people have their formula backwards, believing that money, cars, and houses will bring peace, when actually peace brings the magnetism that attracts everything else. He exposes the brutal truth that without inner peace, you become 'a miserable person with all the things around you,' hiding anxiety behind possessions while others assume you're peaceful. Drawing from his journey through four lodges as a student, spending food money on encyclopedias, and creating his own syllabus alongside formal education, Dr. Jan reveals how he discovered that adults are 'children' to mental and psychic laws, suffering because they only understand physical laws. His search led him to a revolutionary understanding: the spirit energizes the mind, which energizes the body - and we've been trying to succeed from the wrong end of the equation. Critical revelations include: • The four human categories: Iron Age (no peace, no magnetism), Copper Age (some magnetism, but selfish), Silver Age (service to humanity), and Golden Age (service to all creation) • Why investors and customers are magnetically drawn to peaceful entrepreneurs • The prison metaphor: How 96% of reality is mental, only 4% is physical - yet we're trapped in the 4% • Why spiritual rings, red strings, and protection charms mean you're 'spiritually sick' • The Daniel and the lions secret: How peaceful frequency literally calms predators • Why breathing techniques and morning/evening practices activate your dormant right brain • The shocking truth about churches, temples, and mosques - you carry the real temple within • How babies in the womb don't breathe, revealing our true spiritual state Dr. Jan demolishes the spiritual materialism plaguing African entrepreneurs - those running to prophets, mahalams, and juju men for business success. He reveals why without your own magnetism, 'whatever anybody will give you, you haven't gotten it.' The universe operates on laws: your magnetism must hold things to you, and that magnetism only comes from inner peace. The episode reaches its peak with practical techniques for achieving this peace - not through candles, incense, or elaborate rituals, but through understanding brain hemispheres. The left brain keeps you in external affairs (only 4% of reality), while the right brain connects to intuition and spirit (96% of reality). Most entrepreneurs are trying to succeed using only their left brain - like walking with one leg. Dr. Jan shares his morning and evening practices for activating the dormant right brain, explaining how the shift from beta to theta brainwaves is nature's gift for accessing peace. He reveals why successful people don't convince or hustle - they shine, and their magnetism does the work. The conversation culminates with the ultimate truth: you're not seeking God somewhere outside - the kingdom is within, and closing your eyes in prayer is actually turning inward to where the power already exists. This isn't another success seminar - it's a masterclass in understanding why businesses fail when founders chase objects instead of peace, why giving away equity to investors won't save you if you lack magnetism, and how the same ocean waves that drown non-swimmers become playground for those who understand the laws.

From writing IOUs to raising investment: The brutal truth about building a business with no money - and why giving away 50% equity almost cost everything. In this raw and revealing episode of Konnected Minds, Francis shares the untold story of building Doman from nothing - including writing IOUs to co-founders he couldn't pay, getting kicked out by a landlady for "causing too much rubbish," and how a single themed donut order for Uber led to their first investment round. The conversation exposes the brutal reality of raising funds in Africa: investors aren't looking to help you, they're looking to multiply their money. Francis reveals how most businesses fail at fundraising because they have everything in their heads but nothing documented - no sales ledgers, no expense tracking, no proof that money invested will grow. He shares the painful lesson of giving away over 50% equity to his first investor, losing ownership while fighting to remain CEO. "People change when money comes," he reflects, comparing it to getting married and having your spouse forget you exist once they make money. The episode takes a masterclass turn as Francis breaks down exactly what documents you need to attract investment: inventory records, production processes, customer acquisition data, and the financial story that becomes "music to investors' ears." Critical insights revealed: • Why the fastest response time (minutes, not days) won them the Uber deal • The IOU system that kept co-founders loyal when there was no money • How to think like an investor, not a founder seeking help • Why "economy is bad" just means money changed hands, not disappeared • The documentation framework that attracts investment vs chasing it • The costly mistake of not asking enough questions before taking investment From selling phones at UTC Accra in secondary school to building multiple businesses, Francis demonstrates that raising funds isn't about having a sob story - it's about having data that shows a clear path to multiplication. He challenges the notion that there's no money in Ghana, revealing instead that there's "loose money" everywhere, looking for documented opportunities to grow. This isn't another generic fundraising tutorial - it's the unfiltered truth about what it takes to attract investment in African markets, including the mistakes that cost founders their companies and the systems that separate fundable businesses from those that remain ideas in someone's head.

My African cliché of the day is a question “How many? ".  How many generations of tourists from all over the world had seen “El Negro”? How many have left this museum with the simplistic association at the head of "Black or African = barbaric?" ". did I just say Barbaric? Who is really is the barbaric here? Is it the Bechuana? or rather those who stole a dead buried body, who stuffed it, those who sold it, bought and exhibited it, those who took a picture of him without batting an eyelid, those who posed in front of it and shrugged their shoulders before going to taste tapas, those who refused to send him back home, in short, all those who failed to see an anomaly of their culture and history, to acknowledge human suffering.  Come on, we are talking about the end of the 1990s, it was like yesterday! And yet since 1947, Birago Diop, the great Senegalese poet, already said it, in his sublime poem titled Spirits, which I allow myself to slightly change hoping the purists will forgive me.

This week the girls dig into the Curious Cat inbox to provide relationship advice to questions submitted by listeners and have a whinge about the dating scene in Australia. The girls also get a little introspective (apart from Mary) and discuss areas they could work on to become a better partner.

I am in week 3 of "Stay at Home" or "Shelter in Place" orders and this week some African countries went into lockdown. This is not easy. I am so used to being on the go and in control and yet today, I, much like others in the world sit at home and wait.  With all the chatter around food and nutrition during the coronavirus,  I choose to stick the facts. In this episode, I sit solo and chat about nutrition during these unprecedented times. What should you eat? How do you manage emotional eating? I share some ideas. 

FOR AFRICAN FEMALE WRITERS.. ” You need to read to open up your world” is a phrase I often heard when I was a child. But in the era of so-called social networks, the supremacy of WhatsApp, fake news and Facebook pages, it seems that fewer and fewer adults are reading books. And this observation is even more striking for the younger generation. Do young Africans still read books? What do they read? Which African authors do they read? Where do they read or find the books? Want the answers? Then it’s good you are embarking with us on this 4th Sankofa takeoff piloted by a heroine of this month of March, Prof Cécile, who takes us in a dive in the head and the readings of our young people, a journey in search of answers, in a flight to the heart of African feminine literature.

FOR AFRICAN FEMALE WRITERS My African cliche of the day is a Bantu saying which says I quote: "Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu",which means in French: "A human is human because of other humans".It essentially means that Our humanity depends on the humanity of our fellow humans. No individual, no group can be human all alone. We rise together above the animal, or not at all. This saying is one of the favorites of an African writer, a great African intellectual, Prof Chinua Achebe, who left us almost 7 years ago. He is considered in the English-speaking world as the father of the African novel. He was convinced that the mission of the African intellectuals is to rehabilitate the image of Africa, tarnished by colonization and the stereotypes which a certain colonial literature carried for decades. And since it is impossible to talk about him in a few seconds, an entire episode will be devoted to him soon, but in the meantime, only one word is needed: THANKS Professor Achebe.

Getting help from a nanny to help care for the children is so necessary if one is a working parent as they provide invaluable help to the family. Whilst some cannot survive without one, some do not see the need for one. Having and keeping one could be challenging though. In today's podcast, Bimbola and Jo discussed the very topical topic of juggling motherhood without a nanny and the benefits of raising one's children without the help.

When a man and a woman are in a relationship, moving in together seems like the next logical step. Culturally though it's the woman that moves into the man's house but in the western world a man moving in has become the trend and is almost the norm. But when the relationship becomes rocky though, it's not uncommon that the women then throw the men out and render them homeless. The authorities are usually on the woman's side and this privilege is sometimes abused! In today's podcast, we discuss this trend with our guest speaker Tope Oyewoga and we discuss how this is viewed within the two cultures Join us in this discussion via instagram, twitter, facebook or email.
