Building an African Unicorn - Iyinoluwa Aboyeji
Afropolitan
Welcome to the Afropolitan Podcast hosted by Eche Emole, co-founder of Afropolitan.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Afropolitan is creating a digital nation to enable Africans and the diaspora to build abundant lives. The internet enables people to organize around shared values at scales that were previously unthinkable before the current century. If it were a country, Facebook would be the largest one globally. With the advent of cryptocurrency, the next Facebook will not be a social network with a passive online community but rather a full-blown digital nation coordinated by its native currency and a unifying mission.<br /><br />In Africa, our knowledge and history has been passed down through oral tradition. That oral tradition continues till this day, but today we call it podcasting. <br /><br />We seek to preserve our history, achievements and knowledge not just for today, but for the future.<br /><br />In each episode, our guests share their working formulas, the hard facts about leaving familiar terrain, embracing the unknown, and staying relevant afterwards. Listen to the Afropolitan podcast, where we extract the blueprints of fearlessness, innovation, and progress from Afropolitan citizens who are building the future of a bold and progressive nation. <br /><br />Join the network of abundance → <a href="https://linktr.ee/afropolitangroup" rel="noopener">https://linktr.ee/afropolitangroup</a><br /><br />Afropolitan Website → <a href="https://www.afropolitan.io/" rel="noopener">https://www.afropolitan.io/</a><br /><br />Read our Manifesto <a href="https://afropolitan.mirror.xyz/qkBv4y7MidTpDZJVEIEBC4EZi70v30IrCXLCZ-F6eMs" rel="noopener">https://afropolitan.mirror.xyz/qkBv4y7MidTpDZJVEIEBC4EZi70v30IrCXLCZ-F6eMs</a>
