This week on The Long Form, I sit down with Thapelo Tsheole, the CEO of the Capital Markets Authority of Rwanda, to unpack the future of money, investment, and financial confidence in Africa. From his journey in Botswana's stock exchange to leading Rwanda's financial transformation, Thapelo reveals how ordinary Rwandans can participate in the capital markets, what's holding back Africa's financial integration, and how we can move from saving to true wealth creation.Consider supporting this podcast via our Momo code 95462 or directly to our phone number: +250 795462739 Visit Sanny Ntayombya's Official Website: https://sannyntayombya.com

Only a few days before his death, Charlie recorded a long interview with writer Rob Henderson about the idea of "luxury beliefs": Foolish ideas that elites embrace precisely because they are insulated from the consequences of believing them. They talk about Zohran Mamdani as the avatar of luxury beliefs, the "success sequence" that can bring people out of poverty, the "Dark Triad," and more. It's a wide-ranging conversation that touches many of the themes Charlie cared about most in his life.

Your customers are changing because of AI. But so are you—whether you realize it or not. Host Dan Nestle welcomes back Mark Schaefer, whose new book How AI Changes Your Customers reveals a transformation most people aren't prepared for. As one of 300 futurists who contributed to Elon University's Being Human in 2035 study, Mark brings insights beyond the usual AI hype. Mark and Dan explore the psychological rewiring that is happening as AI reshapes human agency, empathy, purpose, and trust. They confront the choice everyone faces: use AI to augment your thinking, or delegate so much that critical skills atrophy. This isn't another "AI will save us" or "AI will ruin everything" conversation. It's a balanced look at implications most people haven't considered—like algorithms becoming decision-makers, with conversion rates from AI referrals 23 times higher than those from traditional SEO. Listen in and hear about... The psychology of AI and how humanity is being rewired Choosing between augmentation and delegation in your AI usage Why algorithms are becoming your actual customers The loss of agency, empathy, and purpose when we depend too heavily on AI How AI reveals patterns you didn't know existed through intellectual archaeology Notable Quotes On The Psychology of AI: "No one's talking about the psychology of AI that literally before our eyes, humanity is being rewired. The psychology of human beings is changing." - Mark Schaefer [00:08:13 → 00:08:28] On Attention Spans: "Don't tell me people don't have a long attention span. The problem is they're being more selective. You've got to earn it. So it's not that they have a short attention span. You, You've got a short interesting span. They're abandoning you for something else." - Mark Schaefer [00:15:38 → 00:15:53] On The Power of Vulnerability: "What this world is lacking is a real human voice, friendly, accessible, vulnerable. And think about the power of that. To really be human. You've got to be. Have a sense of vulnerability. But we don't get that from brand voices. Very, very rarely. And think of the opportunity to stand out, to be audacious, to just by flubbing up once in a while, just by admitting you made a mistake every once in a while." - Mark Schaefer [00:27:37 → 00:28:05] Resources and Links Dan Nestle Inquisitive Communications | Website The Trending Communicator | Website Communications Trends from Trending Communicators | Dan Nestle's Substack Dan Nestle | LinkedIn Mark Schaefer Mark Schaefer | Website and Blog How AI Changes Your Customers | Book (Amazon) The Marketing Companion | Podcast Mark Schaefer | LinkedIn The RISE Community | Apply to Join Timestamps 0:00:00 AI's Impact: Dan's Intro and Use of NotebookLM0:03:03 Mark's Reaction: AI Enables Bolder, Creative Work0:05:16 Mutual Mentorship and AI Experimentation0:07:29 Mark's Book: Humanity's Changing Psychology with AI0:09:12 Agency, Empathy, Intimacy, and AI Decision-Making0:11:41 AI Search: GEO, Marketing to Algorithms0:13:02 The Golden Age of PR: Credibility and Authority0:15:13 Attention Span Myth & Content Selectivity0:17:21 Volume vs. Quality: Content for AI and Humans0:19:35 Cumulative Advantage & Brand Authority in AI Era0:21:42 Personal Brand Building: Quality is Essential0:23:13 Earning Social Signals & Genuine Content0:25:47 AI Editing, Strategic Awkwardness, and Vulnerability0:28:46 Challenges for Corporates: Embracing Awkwardness0:31:20 Feelings as a Competitive Advantage0:35:28 Transcendence: Artful, Long-Form, and Human Content0:37:56 Respecting the Reader: Content Length & Value0:39:55 Hopeful AI: Augmentation, Mentorship, Markbot0:42:24 Real Education & AI: Preparing Young People0:42:46 Closing Remarks: Book Recommendation & Mark's Links (Notes co-created by Human Dan, Claude, and Castmagic) Learn more about your ad choices.

"When I came in [to Longreads], I didn't come in and say, I think we need to grow aggressively. I said, 'Let's figure out who we are. Let's figure out what other people aren't doing, that we do , and that we can do better.' And so the only real thing that changed when I first came in was to try to make the editors known quantities," says Peter Rubin, head of publishing at Automattic, where he works primarily with Longreads, but also The Atavist Magazine.Today we have Peter Rubin. He's on the pod to talk about a lot of things, but he's also drumming up attention for a membership drive for longreads.com, a hub of curation for the best longreads on the web, first started by Mark Armstrong. Longreads has since gone onto publish original works of criticism, journalism, and personal essays and won a National Magazine Award for best digital illustration in 2020. In conjunction with with Oregon Public Broadcasting, they produced Bundyville, the hit podcast that made Leah Sottile something of a household name (shoutout to her new season of Hush).He spent many years at Wired Magazine and he's also the author of Future Presence: How Virtual Reality is Changing Human Connection, Intimacy, and the Limits of Ordinary Life, which came out in 2018, but with Chat GPT going full porn for verified adult users (what could possibly go wrong?), Peter's book seems oddly of the moment … also it's only seven years old, but I guess in tech that's like the stone age.You can learn more about Peter from his very stripped down website ptrrbn.com, yeah, he hates vowels, don't come at him with vowels, or on the gram @provenself. In this conversation we talk about: Finding diamonds in the rough How he cultivated his editor eye Being merciless in the edit Figuring out the new identity of Longreads when he took over in 2021 Curation And the Longreads membership driveVisit longreads.com to read more and to pony up … that's what I'm going to do, for you people who think I get handouts, just know that I'm not that savvy.Order The Front RunnerNewsletter: Rage Against the AlgorithmWelcome to Pitch ClubShow notes: brendanomeara.com

I continue my history of pro wrestling series today looking at November 1985 which is taken from my book DragonKingKarl's 1984-1985 Pro Wrestling Omnibus. The young death of 'Quick Draw' Rick McGraw stunned wrestling and started a false urban legend. Thanksgiving in 1985 was a huge deal in wrestling and there were major cards by the WWF, World Class, AWA, and the biggest one of all: NWA Starrcade. Also in this month, an off-hand remark in a promo gives birth to the most famous stable in pro wrestling. Join me as well look back at this historic month in pro wrestling history.

In this week's episode of The Long Form, I sit down with Dr. Emile Rwamasirabo — a man whose life mirrors the turbulent history of Rwanda. Born in 1951 in Nyaruguru, he lived through the Kayibanda years, endured exile, trained as a surgeon in France, and then left a comfortable life abroad to join the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) in Uganda. From the battlefields of the liberation war where he treated wounded fighters, to rebuilding Rwanda's shattered health system and leading its biggest hospitals, Dr. Rwamasirabo shares a deeply personal and historical perspective. We talk about exile, sacrifice, state-building, and the lessons of the RPF struggle. For audiences across Rwanda, East Africa, Africa, and the diaspora, this conversation offers a rare look into the journey of a senior RPF cadre and the evolution of Rwanda's politics, medicine, and nationhood.Listen to the Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya podcast on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/rw/podcast/the-long-form-with-sanny-ntayombya/id1669879621Listen to the Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7HkkUi4bUyIeYktQhWOljcFollow Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya on Twitter: https://x.com/TheLongFormRwFollow Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelongformrw/Follow Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@longformrwFollow Sanny Ntayombya on Twitter: https://x.com/SannyNtayombya About Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya:The Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya is a weekly podcast intent on keeping you up to date with current affairs in Rwanda.

“Live theatre is a way to co-dream,” says Anthony Moseley, Chief Programming Officer and Artistic Director of Chicago's Collaboraction theatre.  “It can connect us at a really deep level that allows us to drop seeds of new emotions and new possibilities.”  Moseley joins host Desire Wandan to discuss his artistic and political journey and the role that the multi-racial, multi-cultural theatre that he leads plays in not only bringing theatre to, but creating theatre with, the poor communities of Chicago.   Collaboraction, under Moseley's leadership, has devised hundreds of plays with young people and adults from Chicago's poorest and most violent neighborhoods, plays that have been performed in parks and community centers across the city and cheered on by tens of thousands of audience members.  Most of its performances are followed by a “crucial conversation” where the audience members engage with the issues raised by the play.  Since the pandemic, Collaboraction has produced 150 digital pieces and the film adaptation of its play, Trail in the Delta: The Murder of Emmett Till won a Chicago/Midwest Emmy Award.  Collaboraction is about to open its new cultural center “The House of Belonging” in Chicago's Humbolt Park neighborhood. “The company itself is a collaboration,” says Moseley, “a never-ending devised piece of theatre.” ----more---- anthony@collaboraction.org | 773.230.9981 collaboraction.org House of Belonging Capital Campaign Winner of a 2022 Emmy Award for Outstanding Achievement for Human Interest, Long Form, and 2023 Emmy Award for Outstanding Documentary  for The Lost Story of Emmett Till: Trial in the Delta   ----more---- Welcome to All Power to the Developing, a podcast of the East Side Institute.

We hope that this podcast series will show you that, far more than a slogan, “all power to the developing” is a loving activity, a pulsing heart in an all too cruel world. ----more---- The East Side Institute is a hub for a diverse and emergent community of social activists, thought leaders, and practitioners who are reigniting our human abilities to imagine, create and perform beyond ourselves—to develop.

Augustine "Jay-Jay" Okocha is not only one of Nigeria's greatest ever footballers — he's one of Africa's most gifted to ever grace the game. From dazzling stepovers in Frankfurt and PSG, to battling legends like Keane, Viera, and Gerrard in the English Premier League, Okocha carved a place in football history. But behind the flair lies the untold story: the pressures of fame, the silence after retirement, and the hard financial lessons every African player must learn. In this exclusive episode of The Long Form, recorded in Kigali at the SportsBiz Africa Forum, we dive into Okocha's career highs and lows, his views on Rwanda's progress, the future of African football, and what legacy he hopes to leave behind.Listen to the Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya podcast on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/rw/podcast/the-long-form-with-sanny-ntayombya/id1669879621Listen to the Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7HkkUi4bUyIeYktQhWOljcFollow Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya on Twitter: https://x.com/TheLongFormRwFollow Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelongformrw/Follow Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@longformrwFollow Sanny Ntayombya on Twitter: https://x.com/SannyNtayombya About Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya:The Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya is a weekly podcast intent on keeping you up to date with current affairs in Rwanda.

In Rwanda today, girls are completing school at higher rates than boys, yet young men make up over 85% of prisoners and more than 60% of drug-related arrests. Why are boys being left behind — and what does it mean for Rwanda's future? In this live-recorded episode of The Long Form, I sit with Alain Numa — a former RPF liberation fighter, Pastor, and founder of Boys to Men, an initiative mentoring teenage boys into responsible men. We discuss Rwandan manhood, masculinity, trauma, fatherhood, and the urgent need to rethink how we raise boys. Is Rwanda at risk of creating a generation of broken men — or can we fix the “boy problem”?This conversation dives deep into gender, mental health, education, men's rights, and the future of masculinity in Africa, with lessons that go far beyond Rwanda.Waka Fitness: Go to https://waka.fitbase.rw/thelongform and get 20% off your gym membership.

What drives an American real estate developer from Denver to invest $26 million into Rwanda's sports infrastructure? In this episode of The Long Form, I sit down with Andrew Feinstein, the man behind Kigali's stunning Zaria Court project in the heart of Kigali Sports City. We explore his partnership with NBA executive Masai Ujiri, his insights into the man that is President Paul Kagame, and his bold vision to revitalize Africa's sports complexes—from BK Arena to Amahoro Stadium—without letting them become white elephants. We also discuss his long-term bet on Brand Rwanda, his take on African economic growth, and why he believes sports infrastructure can transform economies across the continent.If you're interested in Rwanda's development, African sports business, real estate, leadership, and Pan-African investment, this is a must-watch.Paid partnership with: Waka Fitness: Go to https://waka.fitbase.rw/thelongform and get 20% off your gym membership.

In a world full of polished content, authenticity is what truly cuts through.That's the secret behind Armchair Expert, the wildly popular podcast from Dax Shepard that mixes candid conversation with crowd-sourced chaos. In this episode, we unpack the marketing insights behind it with special guest Derek Weeks, Chief Marketing Officer at Katalon.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from building real connections, inviting community participation, and letting go of perfection to create content people genuinely trust and engage with.About our guest, Derek WeeksDerek Weeks is the Chief Marketing Officer at Katalon. He is a driven, results-oriented CMO with a proven ability to achieve multiple successful exits, build and execute bold go-to-market strategies for each stage of business growth, and demonstrate solid returns on marketing investments. Accomplished at building high-performing teams, driving quality marketing-sourced pipeline, developing massive communities, and collaborating with sales teams to meet business targets.What B2B Companies Can Learn From the Armchair Expert Podcast:Vulnerability builds trust and attention. Derek Weeks emphasizes that Armchair Expert's standout quality is its authentic vulnerability, which creates a powerful emotional connection with listeners. He explains, “It's really about being human… It builds an emotional connection with your brand.” Derek draws a parallel to B2B marketing, highlighting that it's crucial to showcase real people behind the brand to forge trust.Mix long-form and short-form content strategically. Armchair Expert masterfully balances 90-minute conversations with short, snackable segments like Armchair Anonymous. Derek believes this dual-format approach is essential for B2B marketing: “That kind of mix of long and short is something that you have to play into as a marketer and realize your audience expects different things at different times.” He stresses that marketers must go deep when it matters, but also repurpose content aggressively to cater to varied audience behaviors, especially across platforms like TikTok.Empower community-generated content. Derek praises Armchair Expert for its use of community-driven content through Armchair Anonymous, where listeners share personal stories weekly. He says, “They really don't have to spend time creating content at all… believe in your community and the value that they create.” B2B marketers should harness their user-generated content to scale content creation far beyond the limits of a marketing budget.Quotes“ You have to think about what draws people to the next.  What did you do in that moment that got people to say, ‘This is worth following or paying attention to or coming back again?'  Figure out what's going to make people come back, not what makes people appear the first time.  The first time is kind of an easy win. The second time, or third time, or 10th time is the hard part.”Time Stamps[00:55]  Meet Derek Weeks, CMO at Katalon[01:23]  Why Armchair Expert?[03:01] Vulnerability and Trust in B2B[08:58]  Don't Build Campaigns, Build Conversations[13:37] The Long-Form to Short-Form Pipeline[19:05] Unfair Mindshare[21:47] What Armchair Expert Gets Right[24:01] Practical Ways to Bring Personality into B2B[27:38] Final Thoughts & TakeawaysLinksConnect with Derek on LinkedInLearn more about KatalonAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

In this explosive episode of The Long Form, independent photojournalist Teddy Mazina — now living in exile after fleeing Burundi in 2015 — reveals untold truths about his homeland's political chaos. From witnessing the failed coup against Pierre Nkurunziza to his recent trip deep into M23-controlled territory in Eastern Congo, Mazina unpacks the roots of Burundi's crisis, the reality of life under President Évariste Ndayishimiye, and why the conflict in the DRC could reshape the entire Great Lakes region. This is a raw, insider's look at war, leadership, corruption, and the fight for a better future.Paid partnership with: Waka Fitness: Go to https://waka.fitbase.rw/thelongform and get 20% off your gym membership.

This week on The Long Form, I speak with Damien Vassallo, the Head of School and CEO of Ntare Louisenlund International School, one of Rwanda's most elite and forward-thinking institutions. From his journey as an American educator to his role shaping education in Bugesera, Rwanda we explore the stark realities of academic inequality, the challenges of transitioning students from local schools, and the high cost of quality education in a low-income country.We also tackle Rwanda's education reforms, the mindsets educators are trying to shift — and why some teachers are terrified of AI in the classroom.This is a conversation about power, privilege, pedagogy, and the future of learning in Africa.Paid partnership with: Waka Fitness: Go to https://waka.fitbase.rw/thelongform and get 20% off your gym membership.

00:00 – Check Your Data FirstIf your content isn't working, don't start guessing—start with the numbers. Data reflects human behavior.00:34 – Where to Check Your InsightsReview analytics on platforms like Spotify, iTunes, YouTube, and your hosting platform. But the key isn't just looking—it's interpreting.01:12 – Don't Decide in IsolationA single video or post underperforming doesn't always mean failure. Variables like title, thumbnail, hook, and intro all play a role.03:15 – The Power of a HookThe first 60–90 seconds are critical. Your intro should represent your episode's promise and capture attention quickly.04:17 – Study What WorksLook at patterns from creators in your niche. Don't copy—observe how they structure and tell stories.05:27 – Titles, Thumbnails, and Brand AuthorityHook, title, and even your name affect discoverability. Strong brand authority increases visibility and trust.06:39 – Long-Form vs. Short-Form TestingSocial media allows rapid testing; long-form (like podcasts) takes more time to gather data. Plan accordingly.08:44 – Analyze on a 90-Day WindowTrends shift. 90 days gives enough time to collect meaningful data and adjust quarterly strategies.10:00 – When You Don't Know What to Do NextGo back to your data. It's your best reference point. If interpretation is hard, get support.11:04 – A/B Testing with TubeBuddyTry different titles/thumbnails. But again, it should align with your core message and your audience's behavior.12:18 – Strategy Over SpaghettiPosting consistently is not enough. Know who you're talking to and test intentionally to refine your strategy.13:18 – Don't Get Burned Out by ExpectationsNot all content will perform. Publish, gather data, and iterate. That's how you find your sweet spot.14:32 – Competitor vs. Inspiration AnalysisUse similar creators to map out what's working—but come from a place of inspiration, not comparison.15:31 – You Might Already Have Warm LeadsStop only chasing new followers. You may already have people primed to buy—you just need the right nudge.18:10 – Different Strategies for Different LeadsNew leads vs. warm leads require different types of content. Know where your audience stands.19:20 – Platform Insights Are GoldUse Instagram and YouTube data to learn your audience's age, activity times, and location.21:01 – You Don't Need Virality to WinGoing viral feels good, but it's not the only strategy. Quiet, sustainable growth > (is greater than) chasing numbers.23:14 – Quality Over QuantityFocus on meaningful conversions over vanity metrics. Build from solid foundations, not just high views.23:35 – Need Help? Reach OutEmail kai@whatkai.com with the subject line “Podcast Analytics” to get support on interpreting your data.23:55 – Let the Content Work for YouYou don't have to hustle endlessly. When your strategy is clear, your content can start doing the heavy lifting.

Send us a textThis week's episode was inspired by a DM that slid into my inbox: “Is long-form content still important?” And look, I get it. The internet is full of opinions — and half of them contradict each other.Once upon a time, we were all told to write 1,500-word blogs stuffed with keywords like it was our full-time job. Now? It's all TikToks, AI, and short-form everything. So… do we just throw the blog out with the bathwater?Spoiler: it's not that simple. (Of course it's not.)In this episode, I'm breaking down:Why long-form still matters (but not for everyone)The history of long-form content and SEOWhy there's no one-size-fits-all strategy Why letting ChatGPT write your blogs might be tanking your brand How to figure out if it's right for your business & Alternatives if writing blogs isn't your thing Why video isn't automatically “king” (don't hate me) How to repurpose long-form so it's actually useful in a multi-channel strategyBalancing your own strengths with what your business actually needsThe value of working with an SEO expert before making big decisionsPlus - the truth about “multi-channel strategy” and why you don't need to be everywhere, all the time, doing all the things.Whether you love writing or would rather eat your laptop than draft another blog post or long email, this episode will help you figure out how to show up in a way that actually works for you.Have a listen and let's stop following cookie-cutter advice that wasn't built for your business in the first place.One Key Takeaway Your content strategy should be based on your goals, your industry, and how you like to show up.

This week on The Long Form, I sit down with Dr. Lassina Zerbo — former Prime Minister of Burkina Faso and current Chairman of the Rwanda Atomic Energy Board. In this high-stakes conversation, we explore why Dr. Zerbo believes that Africa's development depends on nuclear energy — and why Rwanda is betting big on atomic power.We also discuss his brief but historic tenure as PM, the legacy of Thomas Sankara, the geopolitical risk of nuclear conflict, and the role of African innovation in the global energy transition.From coups in Burkina Faso to Kigali's nuclear future — this is one of our most urgent conversations yet.Paid partnership with: Waka Fitness: Go to https://waka.fitbase.rw/thelongform and get 20% off your gym membership.

Long-form guides or interactive calculators? Zak Ali from Finder weighs in on resource allocation for personal finance sites. Interactive calculators emerge as the clear winner, offering users immediate value through manipulable interfaces rather than passive reading experiences. Ali emphasizes that calculators better match user intent, allow for personalization, and can still incorporate supporting content while avoiding the pitfalls of creating extensive guides that users typically scan rather than read thoroughly.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Enjoyed this episode or the podcast in general? Send me a text message:The F-35 Lightning II embodies aviation's greatest paradox—a marvel of engineering weighed down by political reality and sky-high expectations. Initially conceived as "one jet to rule them all," this fifth-generation fighter was meant to revolutionize warfare by replacing dozens of legacy aircraft across multiple branches and allied nations.Twenty years and $1.7 trillion later, the Lightning has emerged as both triumph and cautionary tale. Behind its sleek exterior lies an unprecedented combination of stealth, sensor fusion, and networked warfare capabilities. The F-35's distributed aperture system provides pilots with 360-degree situational awareness, while its advanced radar can track 23 targets within 100 miles in under 9 seconds. No wonder pilots who've flown it consistently say they'd never return to fourth-generation fighters.Yet this technological brilliance came at an extraordinary cost—both financial and in terms of public confidence. The program weathered countless delays, software glitches, and congressional hearings that threatened its very existence. Through it all, Lockheed Martin and the Joint Program Office pressed forward, gradually transforming the Lightning from troubled concept to combat reality.Today, with over 900 aircraft delivered to 19 countries and counting, the F-35 has silenced many critics. Finland, Switzerland, Germany and others have selected it in competitive evaluations, while operational squadrons regularly achieve 20:1 kill ratios in exercises. The aircraft continues evolving with Block 4 upgrades and integration with autonomous drone wingmen that promise to multiply its effectiveness.Love it or hate it, the F-35 has redefined modern air power. As tensions rise globally and sixth-generation fighters remain on the distant horizon, this controversial Lightning now stands as the linchpin of Western air defense strategy through 2070 and beyond. The question remains: was this revolutionary fighter worth its astronomical price tag? The answer may depend on whether you're looking at the balance sheet or the battlefield.Support the showTo help support this podcast and become a PilotPhotog ProCast member: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1555784/supportIf you enjoy this episode, subscribe to this podcast, you can find links to most podcast streaming services here: PilotPhotog Podcast (buzzsprout.com) Sign up for the free weekly newsletter Hangar Flyingwith Tog here: https://hangarflyingwithtog.com You can check out my YouTube channel for many videos on fighter planes here: https://youtube.com/c/PilotPhotog If you'd like to support this podcast via Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PilotPhotog And finally, you can follow me on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/pilotphotog

This week on The Long Form, I sit down with Caroline Mutoko, a legendary voice in African media and a fearless advocate for women's leadership and bold African futures.From ruling Kenya's airwaves to redefining what female power looks like in public spaces, Caroline shares the costs of being an unapologetic woman in media, why she walked away at the height of her power, and whether digital creators can surpass traditional media's influence. We unpack what “African audacity” looks like in 2025, how Kenyans and Rwandans can learn from each other, and what the future of East African women will be by 2035.If you care about African leadership, gender, media, and building a fearless Africa, this conversation is for you.Paid partnership with: Waka Fitness: Go to https://waka.fitbase.rw/thelongform and get 20% off your gym membership.
