The speaker's commitment to entrepreneurship and support for local economies emerges as a response to these insights, advocating for positive change in their homeland.
Magatte Wade is an entrepreneur, author, speaker, and prosperity activist dedicated to unlocking African economic freedom. During this episode, Kevin and Magatte learn how we’ve been lied to about African poverty and the challenges facing Africa today. Including how bureaucracy hinders economic growth with excessive regulations, the dangerous (and often deadly) routes many Africans take to seek a new life in other countries, and her vision for Africa’s future. Since her TED Talk in 2018, she has focused her efforts on improving Africa's economic conditions through innovative startup cities, human flourishing, legal policy, and advocating for economic freedom. This was such an inspiring conversation, and Magatte is a true trailblazer. Her deep passion, unwavering determination, and knowledge on this topic blew me away when we sat down to record.
