The GIST is an Africa centric podcast aimed at creating new African narratives through disseminating key lessons and best practices from some of the continent’s leading entrepreneurs and businesses.
The GIST-podcast was birthed from a shared desire to showcase incredible companies and innovators on the African continent through a new lens. Having travelled the continent extensively, the founders have witnessed incredible businesses, many of which are not known outside of their geographic area of operation. This podcast offers a platform from which we can tap into this knowledge and pay it forward and educate and empower budding entrepreneurs, the youth, and others on how to think about some of the crucial aspects of this entrepreneurial journey.
Our belief is that successful entrepreneurship on the African continent will create many jobs and opportunities, while re-imagining and re-building the African story.
Every business we interview will showcase how they innovated, scaled to realise success.
We're excited to start this journey with you!
