6G, GSMA and geopolitics by Telecoms.com

"One of my guiding principles in life is a quote by the famous Roman philosopher Seneca 'Many discoveries are reserved for ages still to come'... Be bold and stay curious!" Jason Bryan, CEO at ROCCO Group, in conversation with Anurag Aggarwal, Founder of Humans of Telecom.In this enriching episode, Jason shares the incredible journey of a man who has truly lived the telecom industry — and lived across the world while doing so!

Le paiement mobile se généralise et est désormais adopté par une large partie de la population en Afrique de l'Ouest. Selon le dernier rapport de la GSMA, l'organisation mondiale qui rassemble tout l'écosystème de la téléphonie mobile, en quatre ans, le nombre de comptes « Mobile money » a doublé en Afrique de l'Ouest. Les opérateurs ont investi dans le paiement mobile, convaincus que les appels vocaux ne suffisent plus pour faire gonfler leurs chiffres d'affaires. Le paiement mobile et ses QR codes se sont répandus comme une traînée de poudre dans les commerces, les taxis. Des services financiers accessibles à tout le monde. Pour les particuliers comme les entreprises qui n'ont pas de compte en banque, le paiement mobile change la donne.Une adoption massive tirée par les opérateurs et les fintechsAvec 485 millions de compte pour 357 milliards de dollars échangés l'année dernière, « l'Afrique de l'Ouest a rattrapé son retard », observe Arnold Gnama, en charge du développement business en Afrique francophone chez Thunes, une fintech singapourienne. « Des pays comme le Sénégal, la Côte d'Ivoire, le Burkina, le Niger, etc. Le taux de bancarisation, quand on remonte en arrière, quinze ans en arrière, il était en dessous de 15%. Et grâce aujourd'hui à l'adoption du mobile money, on se retrouve à 71% dans l'UEMOA. Des personnes, des individus et même des entreprises aujourd'hui arrivent en fait à non seulement développer le taux d'inclusion financière, mais à développer des usages. »L'autre immense accélérateur, c'est l'arrivée d'acteurs comme l'américain Wave, spécialiste du paiement mobile. Avec ses 1% de commissions et son application intuitive, il a su conquérir les marchés : 21 millions de comptes actifs en Côte d'Ivoire, par exemple. « Wave a cassé les prix et s'est engagé dans une guerre tarifaire qui aujourd'hui porte ses fruits. Ça a boosté le paiement marchand non seulement par les coûts qui ont été réduits, mais également par la simplicité d'usage. Et aujourd'hui, tous les acteurs sont en train d'aller vers ce modèle. En fait, la simplification. Et de s'aligner également sur les prix. »Vers une interopérabilité régionale ?L'enjeu désormais se joue du côté de la Banque centrale des États d'Afrique de l'Ouest. Un projet visant à interconnecter tous les portefeuilles de monnaie électronique, quel que soit l'opérateur, est en cours.« Aujourd'hui, les comptes sont un peu en vase clos, observe Mathias Leopoldie est le cofondateur de Julaya, startup spécialisée dans la finance et présente en Côte d'Ivoire, au Sénégal, au Bénin et au Togo. Donc quand vous avez un compte Orange Money, vous ne pouvez pas envoyer sur un compte Wave. Donc aujourd'hui, ça freine l'usage. Beaucoup de gens ont des multi-comptes même. Et vous voyez, les gens font : "Ah, tu veux de l'argent sur Orange ? Attends, j'en ai que sur Wave, alors il faut que j'aille retirer, puis je te le mets sur..." etc. Donc ça ralentit énormément les transactions. Et donc ce que fait la Banque centrale, c'est qu'elle propose un système technique central où tous les acteurs viennent se connecter. Ça unifie le cadre parce qu'aujourd'hui chacun fait un peu ses règles. »Une interopérabilité du paiement mobile dont la phase de test a débuté en août dernier, et à laquelle participent 90 institutions financières de la sous-région.

How can technology, in this case mobile technology help people in hard-to-reach places and can it ever make our world fairer? These are two questions our Social Impact Pioneer this week grapples with daily. In this episode of the Business Fights Poverty podcast series – Social Impact Pioneers, we sit down with Max Cuvellier Giacomelli, Head of Mobile for Development at the GSMA, the global industry body uniting over 750 mobile operators and 400 tech companies. Max leads one of the most impactful teams in the world—Mobile for Development (M4D)—which has reached over 220 million people in low- and middle-income countries through mobile innovation. Max shares how the GSMA's initiatives drive digital inclusion, financial empowerment, climate resilience, and gender equality, particularly through its Connected Women campaign and mobile money ecosystems. He unpacks how mobile connectivity is closing the mobile gender gap, with targeted programs helping over 80 million women access mobile internet and financial services, and how GSMA-supported startups like Crop2Cash are using AI to empower African farmers. We also explore the usage gap—the 3.1 billion people who live within network coverage but remain offline—and what's being done to tackle digital barriers. Max highlights the GSMA's push for commercially sustainable innovation, its AI Innovation Fund, and why ‘dumb AI' built for real-world conditions in Africa may hold the key to inclusive tech. Whether you're passionate about tech for good, sustainable development, startup ecosystems, or bridging the digital divide, this conversation is packed with insights on how to scale impact through smart, inclusive partnerships between the private and public sectors. Tune in to hear how GSMA is helping build a more equitable digital future—and why the road to socio-economic transformation runs through mobile.

Mobile technology is predicted to generate $11 trillion for the global economy by 2030, according to a new report. The analysis was released by the organizers of the Mobile World Congress (MWC), the tech show which opened in Barcelona on March 3. It's the ‘who's who' of the mobile technology industry. MWC is billed as the biggest connectivity event in the world. It attracts everything from multinational tech giants to innovative new start-ups. This is a place to do business—and business is growing. Mobile technologies and their services accounted for 5.8% of global GDP last year, according to a new report by the GSMA, which organizes MWC. It predicts that the figure will rise as more people get connected, 5G rolls out and AI increases efficiency and productivity. "It's huge. We're talking $6.5 trillion. And that will grow to roughly $11 trillion by 2030. So, the impact of mobile technology is enormous, and it's enabling so many other industries to make more money and to become more efficient and serve their customers in a better way," says Mats Granryd, Director General of the GSMA. Around 4.7 billion people were using mobile internet by the end of 2024. And 5G connections reached over 2 billion, with the cellular technology expected to overtake 4G usage by 2028. 5G promises to increase speed, reduce latency and allow more flexibility for wireless services. But as the world becomes ever more connected, tech leaders warn that onerous regulations, such as data storage rules in Europe, are hampering the industry's potential. "We need to have a level playing field, and I've been in this industry for almost 40 years, and we have spoken about this level playing field for at least the last 20 years. It is uneven. And we are fine with competing with other technologies and other industries, but it has to be on the same rules. Today, it is not on the same rules. That needs to change desperately, and that is predominantly a world phenomenon," says Granryd. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

La GSMA ha publicado su informe anual "The Mobile Economy Europe 2025" hace unos días. Es, junto al publicado por Connect Europe el 28 de enero, uno de los documentos de política pública de mayor impacto en el sector de las telecomunicaciones en Europa. La GSMA inicia un nuevo ciclo regulatorio, con la reciente puesta en marcha de la nueva Comisión Europea y lo hace también con un inesperado cambio de presidente tras la salida de José María Álvarez Pallete de Telefónica. Tanto la organización como su presidente han reclamado, con autoridad y vehemencia cambios urgentes en la industria Telco Europea. Debéis leer el informe. Está lleno de estadísticas que rara vez se ven compiladas e incluye forecast hasta el 2030 que hablan mucho de la dirección de la industria. A nosotros nos toca leer este documento con otra perspectiva. Con la visión de "lo que falta" de lo que "se queda fuera" porque no encaja en el arco argumental implícito en este discurso. Y lo hacemos para, nosotros, también pedir cambios. ¿Cuál es la visión que la industria debe tener de si misma? ¿Es suficiente estirar las casillas del excel a la derecha y pedir ajustes? ¿Hay que hacer propuestas que cambien la estructura de manera definitiva? En el episodio de hoy, algo más largo de la habitual, tratamos de responder esas preguntas desde fuera, con la esperanza de que los destinatarios del mensaje quieran escucharlo.

Dr. William Turner and Dr. Ted Olson talk to Geonoah Davis and Kelly Thompson, two artists whose hip-hop sounds are expanding traditional ideas about music in Appalachia. Borrowing from a generations-old African American heritage of spoken word expression, rap and hip-hop echo a long narrative tradition of African American cultural survival against all odds. These original historical elements are deeply rooted in the fabric of Appalachia, blending into the backdrop of the region's musical character yet revived and brought forward again by these fresh creative talents with their contemporary styles.Geonoah Davis, known by the artistic name geonovah, was born and raised in Big Stone Gap, VA, in the heart of Appalachia's coal and iron industry. He wasn't the first rapper in his family, and early collaborations with his cousin RKMITCH allowed him to develop his powers of poetry into an artistry for hip-hop lyric and verse. Kelly Thompson, a.k.a Pookie, also hails from Big Stone Gap but spent his early childhood in North Carolina. Friends since middle school, he and Geonoah have made music together for many years—Kelly creating beats and Geonoah writing lyrics. Kelly evolved his talents to include music production, learning from local producers in his area.Dr. William Turner is a long-time African American studies scholar and retired Distinguished Professor of Appalachian Studies and Regional Ambassador from Berea College. He was also a research assistant to Roots author Alex Haley and co-editor of the groundbreaking Blacks in Appalachia. In 2021, Turner received Western Carolina University's individual Mountain Heritage Award in recognition of his outstanding contributions to Southern Appalachian studies. His memoir called The Harlan Renaissance, available from West Virginia University Press, was awarded the prestigious Weatherford Award at the 2022 Appalachian Studies Association Conference.Dr. Ted Olson is a music historian and professor of Appalachian Studies at East Tennessee State University. He is the author of many books, articles, reviews, encyclopedia entries, and oral histories. Olson has produced and compiled a number of documentary albums of traditional Appalachian music including On Top of Old Smoky and Big Bend Killing, both from Smokies Life. His work has received a number of awards, including nine Grammy nominations. The East Tennessee Historical Society honored Olson with its Ramsey Award for Lifetime Achievement in 2021.Music featured includes:1.    “John Henry” performed by Amythyst Kiah and Roy Andrade from GSMA's (now Smokies Life's) album Big Bend Killing2.    “Takin' Me Over” performed by geonovah for the album No Options: Hip-Hop in Appalachia, used courtesy of June Appal Recordings3.    “S&S” performed by geonovah for the album No Options: Hip-Hop in Appalachia, used courtesy of June Appal Recordings4.    “Black Lives Never Mattered” by RKMITCH featuring geonovah, vocals mixed by Pookie

Recorded at GSMA's MWC24 Mobile World Congress in Las Vegas, Powell tells us that GSMA is working to democratize AI. Focusing on AI Partnerships for GSMA we learn how these organizations are delivering new AI-driven solutions and experiences. “As the GSMA, we represent 1,200 members across the tech ecosystem, heavily focused in the telco industry. We see that AI is business-critical for our members. However, it's unevenly spread. As you can imagine, countries and operators who have high resources, lots of technology, lots of data, and lots of access to computing are charging ahead and we're seeing some amazing innovation. But also, there are over 800 operators around the world where not everybody has those same resources. So how do we make sure that those operators who are less able to scale still get the benefits of AI, allowing them to grow their business?” Visit https://www.gsma.com/

Comment l'intelligence artificielle, IA, peut-elle contribuer au développement de l'Afrique ? C'est l'une des questions-clé que se posent depuis hier (dimanche), à Dakar, les quelque 700 spécialistes qui participent au « Deep Learning Indaba » 2024, le forum annuel des développeurs africains de cette technologie révolutionnaire. Dans l'agriculture, l'éducation et la santé, l'intelligence artificielle peut permettre de grandes avancées sur le continent. Mais à certaines conditions. Le chercheur camerounais Paulin Melatagia enseigne à la faculté des sciences de l'université de Yaoundé 1. RFI : en quoi l'intelligence artificielle peut-elle permettre une agriculture de précision ?Paulin Melatagia : L'intelligence artificielle, avec tout l'ensemble des outils aujourd'hui qu'elle arrive à mobiliser, est très utilisée dans l'agriculture, notamment pour tout ce qui est prédiction des invasions, par exemple la prédiction des invasions des criquets à partir d'images satellitaires. On peut également utiliser l'intelligence artificielle pour la détection des maladies des plantes. Il suffit aujourd'hui, avec certaines applications qui sont déployées sur des téléphones portables, scanner des feuilles, et à partir de ces images-là, de détecter un certain nombre de maladies sur les plantes. On peut également, grâce à l'intelligence artificielle, prédire des inondations à partir d'images satellitaires ou même d'images qui sont connectées avec des drones. Je pourrais également ajouter, comme autre exemple, l'arrosage intelligent grâce à l'internet des objets qui permet de mesurer l'humidité, la température et la luminosité dans un champ et ensuite de déclencher, voilà, le système d'arrosage.Dans le domaine de la santé maintenant, en quoi l'intelligence artificielle peut-elle aider le médecin à détecter des maladies ?Oui, l'intelligence artificielle peut être utilisée, notamment à partir de tout ce qui est imagerie médicale, pour identifier ou prédire des pathologies. À ce moment, il s'agit d'une aide au médecin ou une aide à la décision du médecin qui, à partir des IRM et des images de radiographie ou d'échographie, va les passer à une intelligence artificielle et obtiendra des résultats qu'il pourra ou non confirmer grâce à son expertise. Dans le même temps, on peut avoir des intelligences artificielles qui sont utilisées par des patients, qui vont pouvoir faire des pré diagnostics sur la base d'une collecte d'informations personnelles, par exemple la température, une image de la peau, une image des yeux, du nez, et cetera, et donc obtenir un diagnostic, un pré diagnostic pardon qui va être confirmé plus tard par un médecin expérimenté.Dans le domaine de l'éducation, pour les apprenants et les élèves qui ne parlent ni français ni anglais, qui ne parlent que leur langue locale, qu'est-ce que l'intelligence artificielle apporte de nouveau ?Ce que l'intelligence artificielle apporte de nouveau, c'est que, aujourd'hui, nous avons beaucoup de langues qui sont dites peu dotées, notamment en Afrique, peu dotées parce qu'il n'y a pas suffisamment de matière. On n'a pas suffisamment de données numériques pour pouvoir générer des intelligences artificielles du même niveau que les IA que l'on a en français et en anglais. Et donc les intelligences artificielles qui sont développées sur les langues africaines, notamment, permettent ce qu'on appelle la reconnaissance de la parole. On a donc des apprenants qui peuvent s'exprimer dans leur langue maternelle et les IA sont capables de faire de la traduction automatique ou même de comprendre ce qu'a dit l'apprenant. Un exemple, un élève dans une salle de classe peut poser une question dans sa langue maternelle sur un sujet, l'IA va traduire, ou alors va comprendre ce qui a été dit, et aller chercher une réponse, ramener la réponse à l'apprenant, qui va donc améliorer sa compréhension sur le sujet.Alors pour développer l'intelligence artificielle en Afrique, il faut des centres de données, est-ce qu'il y a beaucoup de pays africains équipés de tels centres ?Non, les centres de données pour le moment, on en retrouve très peu en Afrique malheureusement, avec des moteurs de calcul qui sont basés en Afrique. Pour le moment, la grande majorité des intelligences artificielles qui sont conçues par les Africains ou même qui sont conçues sur les données africaines le sont dans des centres de données qui sont hébergés en dehors de l'Afrique.Et quels sont les pays où commence à se développer des centres de données sur le continent ?On a par exemple le Sénégal qui a des centres de données, mais qui en plus a acquis un supercalculateur il y a quelques années. En Afrique du Sud, au Kenya, au Maroc, on retrouve également de grands centres de données qui ont déjà été mis en place. Dans les pays comme le Cameroun, on a quelques centres de données qui appartiennent à des entreprises privées, aussi on a un centre de données qui appartient à une société d'État. Mais ces centres de données-là ne sont pas encore exploités pour produire de l'intelligence artificielle.Alors l'intelligence artificielle, ça ne marche évidemment que si on est équipé d'un téléphone mobile et que si on a accès à Internet, est ce qu'il n'y a pas blocage de ce côté-là ?Oui, effectivement, il y a des blocages. Si on s'en tient au dernier rapport de l'association interprofessionnelle GSMA sur l'Afrique, le taux de pénétration de la téléphonie mobile est de l'ordre de quatre-vingt-dix-sept pour 100, soit quasiment un téléphone par personne. Cependant, on a que 70% des téléphones qui sont des smartphones et on sait bien que, pour accéder à des solutions d'intelligence artificielle, le smartphone est l'outil le plus adapté. En tout cas, sur le continent africain, on a également la problématique de la connexion internet. Le même rapport indique que l'on est aujourd'hui à 30% de la population africaine qui utilise Internet. Ces chiffres-là sont très faibles, mais ils ont doublé en 10 ans, ce qui permet de penser que, dans les années à venir, ce nombre-là va encore augmenter considérablement.À lire aussiIntelligence artificielle en Afrique: l'IA change la donne chez les communicants [2/3]

Bancarisation, paiement de factures, assurances, santé, éducation, livraison de E-commerce... En quelques décennies, l'Afrique a connu un bouleversement numérique qui modifie considérablement le quotidien. Principal outil d'innovation : le téléphone mobile et notamment le smartphone qui a véritablement fait passer un cap technologique au continent. D'ici 2030, le taux d'adoption des smartphones devrait exploser, selon le dernier rapport du GSMA. Passant de 51% en 2022 à 87% à la fin de la décennie. Le continent a su voir dans les transformations du numérique un moyen de répondre à ses besoins. C'est le cas notamment du paiement mobile (M-pesa), né au Kenya en 2007. Encore aujourd'hui, près de la moitié des 1,6 milliards de comptes mobiles money enregistrés proviennent d'Afrique subsaharienne. Il faut dire que l'innovation rend bien des services dans des pays où l'inclusion financière est encore faible et la part de l'économie informelle forte. Quelles sont les prochaines transformations à attendre du continent ? Quelles sont les attentes des consommateurs ?  Cette émission est une rediffusion du 2 mai 2024Avec :• Jean-Philippe Berrou, socio-économiste, enseignant-chercheur au Centre de recherche Les Afriques dans le monde (LAM) de Sciences-Po Bordeaux. et directeur de la recherche de Sciences Po Bordeaux • Aïssatou Ami Touré, directrice générale Sénégal de la start-up algérienne Yassir qui fournit des services de taxi et de livraison alimentaire.

Access to mobile internet is driving economic development in Africa but the cost of buying a phone is still a major obstacle for ordinary traders. 85% of the sub-Saharan region is covered by networks but only 25% of people use it according to the mobile lobby group GSMA, now a company in Ghana has a plan to close this digital gap. Cyril Fianyo is a vegetable farmer in a village called Atabu in Ghana's Volta region. He believes his business has the opportunity to expand now he's able to use the internet on his phone. Fianyo is being shown how to navigate apps that interest him, including a third-party farming app called Cocoa Link that offers videos of planting techniques, weather information and details about the challenges of climate change affecting cocoa and other crops. Previously he was restricted to calls and texts. Now he's registered with a company called Uniti Networks. Fianyo uses his identity card to register with the firm, he's put on a deposit of 340 Ghanaian Cedis ($25) for the smartphone and will pay the remaining 910 Cedis ($66) in installments. Fianyo, who previously planted according to his intuition and rarely interacts with farming advisors, is optimistic that the technology will help him increase his yields. “I like searching on the phone so much,” he says. “When I got it, I saw that this phone is very smart, so I don't find it difficult to get some information that I want.” At a training session in Hohoe market, Uniti Networks' Rita Quansah teaches a digital literacy workshop to a small group of men and women. Quansah explains, “There are video tutorials as well in the app in Ewe so that those who are not able to even understand the English will be able to watch the videos in their local language.” The mobile lobby group GSMA says the mobile internet has enabled the sub-Saharan region to “leapfrog” certain infrastructure and service gaps by providing access to mobile money where formal banks have failed. Less than 50% of the population has access to a bank account, according to the World Bank. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

An Assessment of Key 5G-IoT Developments Including GSMA IBM Telco AI Collaboration, Juniper's AI-Native Networking Platform, and Nokia AVA Energy Efficiency. In this episode of The 5G Factor, our series that focuses on all things 5G, the IoT, and the 5G ecosystem as a whole, I look at the top 5G innovations and what's going on that caught my eye in the lead up to MWC24. Key AI and GenAI developments that stand out include the GSMA and IBM collaborating to advance AI skills and adoption using IBM's watsonx platform and training programs, Juniper launches its AI-Native Networking Platform built to optimize AI in assuring comprehensive, enhanced operator and end-user experiences, and Nokia's AVA Energy Efficiency solution targeted at ensuring operators fulfill their strategic sustainability goals.  My analytical review spotlighted: GSMA and IBM Pair Up to Boost Telco AI Skills. The GSMA and IBM unveiled a new collaboration to support the adoption and skills of AI in the telecom industry through the launch of GSMA Advance's AI Training program and the GSMA Foundry Generative AI program. The AI training program, the first in a new series of courses by GSMA Advance, seeks to prepare telco decision makers for the AI-era and bridge skills gaps in the telecom industry, by equipping members with skills and knowledge to help leverage Gen AI technologies using watsonx, IBM's AI and data platform with AI assistants. The training program will span a wide range of topics, from fundamental AI principles to specialized Gen AI applications in telecoms. I examine how the GSMA Foundry Generative AI program, by providing GSMA members with access to IBM's watsonx platform, can aid telecom decision makers in diligently exploring industry-specific use cases of Generative AI, including those serving the world's least connected communities, as well as ensuring that risk management is foundational and critical to operationalizing AI.   Juniper Unveils AI-Native Networking Platform. Juniper announced its AI-Native Networking Platform, purpose-built to leverage AI to deliver end-to-end operator and end-user experiences. Juniper promotes that it is trained on seven years of insights and data science development. Juniper's AI-Native Networking Platform is designed to unify all campus, branch and data center networking solutions with a common AI engine and Marvis Virtual Network Assistant (or VNA). This can enable end-to-end AI for IT Operations (or AIOps) to be used for deep insight, automated troubleshooting and end-to-end networking assurance. I assess why the new Juniper AI-Native Networking Platform can elevate telco AI strategic objectives by enabling IT teams to transition from maintaining basic network connectivity to delivering secure end-to-end experiences for customers and partners that boost business outcomes.  Nokia AVA Energy Efficiency Uses AI/ML to Advance Telco Sustainability. Nokia's Telco AI initiative's aimed at supporting the fulfillment of telco sustainability objectives through its Nokia AVA Energy Efficiency AI solution designed to help operators reduce CO2 emissions and network energy costs. Operators want to meet environmental, sustainability and governance (ESG) goals by optimizing their 5G networks. I expect that operators and their supply chain and value chain partners can commit to proactively addressing the sustainability challenge our society faces. Nokia is collaborating with key partners such as China Mobile in using the TM Forum's Autonomous Networks technology and AI/ML intelligence as well as the Green 5G project to help define a unified energy efficiency standard and delivery methodology. I assess why China Mobile selection of Nokia AVA Energy Efficiency to help reduce energy consumption and control costs without compromising the customer experience is an exemplar on how AI/ML can be enlisted to help mobile operators to fulfill their long-term sustainability goals.

After years of resistance, Apple is finally adopting RCS, the advanced messaging protocol gaining traction in the Android world. In this video, we'll explain what RCS means for iPhone users and how it will improve your messaging experience. We'll also talk about Sam Altman's out then back in as CEO of OpenAi the company he founded. I also incorrectly stated in this video that Google came up with RCS when RCS has been around since 2007. Rich Communication Services (RCS) was created in 2007 by a group of mobile operators. The GSMA (GSM Association) started RCS as an initiative to improve the messaging capabilities of mobile devices. In 2019, Google worked with the GSMA, its members, and carriers around the globe to create a universal profile for RCS. Many Android users can use RCS Messaging now, but the messaging protocol isn't supported on iOS.

In this "Let's Talk" episode, Che chats with Lara Dewar, Chief Marketing Officer at GSMA. The conversation explores Lara's personal and professional journey, focusing on themes like leadership, change, faith, and work-life balance. Lara shares her experiences of navigating through significant life changes, including a divorce and relocating to London for work, emphasizing the courage and resilience she developed during these challenging times. Throughout the episode, both speakers delve into the complexities of faith, discussing how it evolves with age and experiences and how it's often intertwined with one's identity and life choices. Lara's journey from feeling like she had to earn her role to owning it is a central theme, highlighting the importance of self-confidence and authenticity in professional settings. The discussion also touches on the impact of the pandemic on work culture, advocating for a more compassionate and flexible approach that accommodates personal life. Lara desires to normalize work-life balance, advocating for changes that allow people to prioritize family and personal time without sacrificing career progression. Lastly, the conversation shifts to raising children in today's world, focusing on the importance of allowing them to make their own choices and learn from their experiences rather than adhering to pre-set expectations and paths. This episode emphasizes the significance of self-discovery, embracing change, and the power of sharing personal stories to inspire and guide others. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chemarvilleletstalk/message
