Busie's father's sudden death 2 months before her graduation walk, changed her walk. She was to work for Citigroup and move back to Uganda. But she stayed and became a workaholic to deal with that trauma and thrust herself into entrepreneurship while working a 9-5pm job. As a result, she founded one of the first fashion tech companies which was then twice acquired.Another significant pivot was the birth of her 2nd child, who had severe food allergies. She was forced to move to remote working in 2012 as she was her daughter's primary caregiver. Busie left regular employment to become a stay at home mom then eventually a work from home mom. This moved her into consultancy as well as policy driven assignments such as board position, as she realized mom's careers suffer most and they are usually driven to make decisions which impact our families and the broader community. Busie realized, that we need more women at the policy tables. She has been fortunate to have doors open for others and believes also in amplifying others. She believes, if we light more candles we illuminate more light and there's an African Proverb which says "If you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go far, go together. Let's continue to build and amplify!!She reflects on what she has learned, we need to be anchored by a strong ecosystem, and that it's imperative that we intentionally and deliberately harness positive relationships. That's why some people bounce back more easily from adversity than others. Who you surround yourself matters. It's like a charging bank, a reserved you may tap into because of one's investment.A serial entrepreneur widely recognised for her impact leadership, Busie Matsiko-Andan is an award-winning global strategist and Board Trustee who has held positions on Wall Street at Smith Barney, Oppenheimer & Co and Citibank. She currently advises multilaterals like the African Union, Afreximbank, the Africa Renaissance and Diaspora Network, Lalela Project, and the Heritage and Cultural Society of Africa on private-sector scaling and development. As a global strategist and CEO of Pont Global, Busie has been instrumental in successfully scaling and growing companies and organizations. She is also the Executive Director of The Africa Future Summit which brings together investors and leaders in technology,entrepreneurship, and politics to address the challenges that affect Africa's future. She is also the first black woman trustee of Berkeley College, in the US. Busie was the founder of one of the first fashion technology companies, Fashion Indie, and also created RESET, a platform to discuss business strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic. Her initiatives have been featured in international and local publications. Busie is also a sought-after keynote speaker and moderator.

What do you call someone who graduates from Berkley College of Music, stars in the soundtrack and in a role in a movie and wins a Latin Grammy for BEST NEW ARTIST? Nella! This young artist hailing from the Margarita Island of Venezuela is taking Latin music by storm with major milestones early in her career! Her tour kicks off on February 5th, 2022 at Stanford! I got to talk to Nella today and asked her a few questions. I did not know she speaks Portuguese so well! Our interview quickly became trilingual - English, Portuguese and Spanish. How fun! Here are the topics of our conversation: Tell us a little bit about your youth, growing up in Margarita, Venezuela. Did you have any tendencies towards performance? What are some of your favorite artists then and now? How do you describe your music and your stage persona? Walk us through your day at the Latin Grammys in 2019? What did you do, what emotions did you feel and did you celebrate your win that same night? You graduated from Berklee College of Music not too long ago. You became part of of the soundtrack and the movie “Everybody Knows." You won a Latin Grammy for Best New Artist. What role would you like to have in Latin music or any other genre? What is next? What can the audience expect from your performance during this tour? My perception is that Nella is a pioneer. She brings her unique style fueling so much simplicity, creativity, versatility and talent! She is not afraid to question the status quo as her music intertwines various styles and rhythms with clever and meaningful lyrics. From earlier, more nostalgic songs with the influence of flamenco, to the more upbeat songs featuring mega Latin stars like Juan Luis Guerra and Pedro Capó, Nella is a handful of songs that she sings with her bare heart and soul. Her captivating stage presence can only be witnessed when standing in the same performance venue with her. Check our her tour schedule and witness Nella's beautiful voice - la de la voz quebrada (the one with the broken voice). --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/global-ginga/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/global-ginga/support

Connect. Rehearse. Record. The CEO and Founder, Richard Anderson, and Community Architect, Kyle McGinnis, of Soundspace join us to share their stories and how Soundspace will evolve Indianapolis’ community of musical artists. You would not suspect that Soundspace was founded by someone who graduated from IUPUI with two degrees in neuroscience and biotechnology. Nonetheless, Richard grew up playing guitar and even spent a semester at Berkley College of Music for classical guitar in addition to his love of science. He continued composing during his time at IUPUI, so when he graduated, he had four years’ worth of songs queued up. To execute his creations, Richard researched building a home studio. He quickly recognized that it was expensive and questioned how he would not only produce but market and possibly create physical copies of his music. That thought led to the idea of Soundspace, a music rehearsal and recording facility that exists to connect people with different skills in the industry. Through mutual friends, Kyle met with Richard to help with marketing in November of 2018 and has since been pursuing a network of artists and partners for Soundspace. Turn up the bass to learn about the resources in Indianapolis’ music community, how the music industry has changed since the creation of streaming, and how Indianapolis can compete with other music cities.

GUEST BIO: My guest on today’s show has worked in IT for over twenty years after failing to become a writer and divides his career into three parts.  The first third was spent building applications for the fast-paced online gambling industry. The second third was spent maturing that business, in the area of third line support and operations.  And the remainder of his time was spent working on container technology within the highly regulated financial sector. EPISODE DESCRIPTION: Phil’s guest on today’s IT Career Energizer podcast is Ian Miell. He is a developer, author, blogger, open source coder and conference speaker who has been working in the IT industry for nearly two decades. During that time he has held various positions at OpenBet and more recently moved into the financial sector. Working for Barclays as their Lead OpenShift Architect before moving to State Street to work as a VP, in late 2018. Ian is the co-author of Docker in Practice, Learn Bash the Hard Way and Learn Git the Hard Way. He is also a prolific blogger and international conference speaker. KEY TAKEAWAYS: (1.06) – First, can I ask you about why you transitioned from writing into working in IT? Ian explains that he studied history at university. As a student, he worked at The Times for a few weeks and enjoyed the experience. So, he thought he might like to be a journalist. However, he later realized that journalism wasn’t for him. He enjoyed the writing side of things, but not the pressure to simply churn out words. So, he gave up on journalism and went abroad to teach English and write a novel. But, he was unable to sell it. This was in the pre-internet era and Ian had no agent or publishing contracts, so the fact he could not get it published is not really surprising. That experience got writing out of his system, at least for a while. It was then that he decided to turn to an old passion of his – computers. Ever since he was a kid he had been fascinated by them. So, he did a conversion masters at Berkley College, London and started his IT career from there. (2.46) – But, you haven't necessarily left your writing skills behind. I believe you've subsequently written books, with a technology, slant to them. Ian agrees he has come full circle by co-authoring “Docker in Practice” for Manning Publications. It was very well received. He did a video on Docker for another publisher. The combination of these two things got his name known. At that point, his blog really took off. Now, he mainly writes for fun, covering anything that he is currently interested in. He has written a couple of books and self-published them. So, the writing side of his career has finally taken off. (4.02) – So, are you writing another book? Ian has a day job but he is still able to put aside time to write and help others to learn. He is due to do some live Bash training for O’Reilly, at the end of June. Ian also does some technical writing for various businesses. As well as updating his blog. So, right now, he does not really have the time to work on another book. But, he is learning about Terraform and waiting for the next version to come out. (4.44) – Can you please share a unique career tip with the audience? Ian says that you need to realize that you are a product. This is a fact whether you like it or not. Once you accept that and start to think about what you are selling to the market, your horizons start to open up. Ian spent 14 years working at the same company and never really got out there. He stuck to his comfort zone, which really held him back. A friend of his got him to read Ten-Day MBA, specifically the first chapter, which is all about marketing. That is when he realized that he was doing nothing at all to sell himself. At that point, he had no blog, never attended meet-ups. Effectively he was invisible to anyone who was not working with him directly. When he realized this, he started blogging, giving talks and generally putting himself out there. This helped him to focus his energy in the right direction. (6.23) – When was that? Ian says it was only about 7 years ago. When he wrote his first blog post, nobody cared. It was a bit disheartening. But, Ian managed to keep things in perspective. He recognized and took pleasure from the fact that he had actually produced something he could refer back, to in the future. This realization drove him on to do it again and again. He figured he had nothing to lose by sharing what he knew in as many ways as possible. However, Ian points out that it is not always easy. He still gets nervous when he has to stand up and talk. But, doing this opens up so many opportunities. For example, after one speech someone from Barclays offered him a drink. A year later he was working for them. There are a lot of talent spotters who attend events to recruit. So, giving talks can be a good way to find work. (9.21) – Can you tell us about your worst career moment? And what you learned from that experience. Ian explains that he was a little older than the average graduate, so felt he needed to catch up. As a result, he was quite driven and did well in his first job and quickly progressed to the point where he was asked to head up a technical team. For Ian, it was a big step up and something he really wanted. So, when, after about a year, his team had not been able to really deliver he was more than a bit disappointed. The whole experience knocked his confidence. But, after a while, he recognized that failing had actually taught him a lot. He realized that what he was trying to achieve was actually quite a cultural shift for the business. They had been making money one way, for a long time. So, when he tried to get them to try another way of turning a profit, there was a lot of resistance. For a lot of businesses, cultural change is a huge hurdle. (11.16) – Why do you think that is? At the time, the company he was working for built products, sold them, then bastardized them to fit in with what each client needed. Ian wanted them to move towards producing a range of products and selling them en masse to buyers without the bespoke element. This is a much simpler, manageable and profitable way to do business. But, people could not shift mentally from being a materials company to being a product producer. At the time, Ian did not have the experience to be able to effectively push back on that. (12.19) Phil had a similar experience. He worked for a firm that ended up supporting over a hundred variations of the same core product. In the end, the complexity of managing all of this outweighed the business benefit of offering such a tailored product. Ian says that is why, these days, we have product managers. Someone who is responsible for looking at requested changes and working out if they are financially viable. If they are not they should be telling the customer that the change is not possible, at least not yet. (13.49) – What did you take away from that experience? Ian now realizes that if senior management is not behind your idea it is best not to invest too much time into it. Without the right support, even the best ideas will fail. This experience and his time working with Barclays taught Ian that enterprises move slowly. Now, he realizes that if you want to effect change you have to work with the grain, be persistent and be patient. (15.06) – What was your best career moment? Successfully, setting up an effective knowledge base for a company that had a team of 50 live-time developers, working in different locations, was a big achievement for Ian. It got everyone working more efficiently and protected the £7millon worth of contracts the firm had, at the time. Getting this knowledgebase working properly saved the company a huge amount of money and greatly improved productivity. It also made for a happier team. Putting together the base knowledgebase was a mammoth task. It took Ian about 7 months to go through everything line by line, updating things and making sure all of the current issues were comprehensively covered. It then took a further 4 months for it to gain traction. That is when the benefits finally started to show through. (17.34) - Did you actually have to train people on how to use the knowledge base you created? Or was it very intuitive? Ian insisted on keeping the documents within Jira and making everything as simple as possible. Initially, there was some resistance to this approach because it was different from what had gone before. But, Ian stuck to his guns and once everyone realized it was easy to edit, flexible and truly real-time the resistance fell away. Everyone was allowed to contribute. If others did not like or could not follow the editing style they just had to speak up. Very quickly an effective standard for working with the new knowledgebase emerged. The fact everyone could contribute made a huge difference. It also helped the DevOps team. They had access too, so knew exactly what had been tried when a problem had to be escalated to them. He tried to do something similar at Barclays, but ultimately it failed. Ian just did not have the power or backing to get the use and updating of the knowledgebase enforced. Because it was not updated properly it quickly became out of date and was just as useless as the system it replaced. To implement a project you always need to the backing of management. (21.11) – Can you tell us what excites you about the future of the IT industry and careers? The fact that IT is going to become an even bigger part of our lives is exciting. Ian’s kids use computers almost constantly, throughout the day. This move towards making tech a ubiquitous part of our lives opens up all kinds of new opportunities for those working in the industry. Ian used to worry about becoming obsolete. Now, that notion seems absolutely crazy. (23.18) – What drew you to a career in IT? Ian had always like maths, logic, and computers. So, he chose a career in IT instead of one in the law. He especially liked the fact that he did not need to specialize to be able to work in the tech industry. (23.40) – What is the best career advice you have ever received? Get organized is the best career advice Ian has been given. When he was about 30 he made a mistake at work. The error basically occurred because he had failed to track everything. So he read the book “Getting Things Done” and applied all of the principles to his life. That has freed his head up enough to get the things that have advanced his career, done. (24.14) Conversely, what's the worst career advice you've ever received? A CEO once told Ian that to pay the mortgage he needed to get promoted. Ian now realizes that is not true. On reflection, he thinks this was an example of poor incentive management.

Someone once told him to always choose the thing that makes him feel slightly uncomfortable when he is offered the opportunity to do two different things. Taking this approach leads to you expanding your horizons much more quickly. BEST MOMENTS: (3.42) IAN – "Now I write for fun. I write about whatever I'm interested in." (5.00) IAN – "You've got to realize that you are a product. Whether you like it or not, you're selling something within the market." (8.42) PHIL – “Standing up in front of people to give a talk and letting them know who you are is a good way of marketing yourself” (13.58) IAN – "If your strategy is not aligned with support from senior management, then your effort may well be wasted." (26.33) IAN – "Getting away from straight line thinking is really important." (26.54) IAN – “When you have a choice between two things to do. Choose the thing that makes you feel slightly and comfortable.” CONTACT IAN: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ianmiell LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ian-miell-694496/ Personal Website: https://zwischenzugs.com/ Company Website: https://ian.meirionconsulting.com/

In 2013, the Westchester Children’s Association launched the Vote for Kids campaign that aims to elevate Westchester’s children and youth to the top of the public agenda among candidates, elected officials, media and the general public during the upcoming elections. Vote for Kids provides tools to help child advocates, parents, caretakers or community members – keep children’s issues at the forefront of this election cycle. In the past, the campaign has reached out to politicians, asking how they will put children and families first. However, this year we put local student at the forefront. In a meeting at Berkley College on September 27, we spoke with 16 students between the ages of 14 and 17 who participate in the White Plains Youth Court. They told us what they like about their local communities, what needs to be improved, and what they wish politicians would speak about more often. Overall, the students implored politicians and other adults to listen to them and their peers. Much like Ever Mack at the March For Our Lives rally, the students were eager to fight the stereotypes of their generation being uninterested or incapable of adding to political discourse. “They need to hear our voices more,” said Chelsea from White Plains during our group conversation. “Our voices should be heard and something should be done about what we’re asking for, especially if it’s repetitive.”

“The best part about my job is bringing ideas to reality, and being able to see that manifestation.” - Kalin Kelly About: Kalin Kelly- “Founders Broker”- Founder of The Connector Habit Overview: Kalin Kelly is a talented young woman with a strong background in sales, communication, startups, and real estate. She shares the relationship between landlord brokers and what the commercial real estate is willing to give them. Kalin explains the troubles behind real estate in San Francisco and how having a “founders broker” can help so many young companies. Ergo- The Connector Habit. Highlights: Kalin’s Experience: She graduated from Berkley College and became a part of two startup companies that have given her the knowledge to know what founders actually need to begin. In her second startup, she became a marketing director, but later became interested in really changing the commercial real estate world. She realized there really is a disconnect and wanted to help solve the problem. How It Works: Kalin’s job is to help tenants find the right space, negotiate a flexible lease, and make sure her clients are not going to be taken advantage of by the landlord. Why You Need Kalin’s Help: Not only to not be taken advantage of, but to be educated on the market and to manage your expectations. She works with founders, non-profits, and more. She is determined to help her tenants find what fits their specific needs. Cost: There is no cost to her clients. Her fee is actually paid for by the landlord. Future Goal: Kalin has a passion for connecting, and is currently working on connecting people very humanly, in a disconnected social world. She is still working on the platform, so stay tuned for more information on that. Guidelines for Entrepreneurs Choosing a Space: Start early! Focus on your team, don’t focus on your space- grow your idea. Be aware of the environment you’re looking to be a part of. Call a tenant rep. Take Away: Choose to have a tenant rep, or a "founders broker" like Kalin, when searching for the perfect space for yourself, or company. There is more out there than what a landlord broker might be advertising. Kalin can help you find what best fits your needs, especially in a hard area like San Francisco.
