Tedd George on Digital Economies and Sustainability in Africa - The Director's Cut

EP 310 - Founder and CNO of Kleos Advisory, Tedd George is back
as we revisit our incredibly knowledgeable conversation with him
for EP 71 which we did very little justice the first time round
with too much editing!


So here we are for round 2 - The Director's Cut.


With two decades of expertise, Ted delves into a wide range of
topics including Africa's digital transformation, innovation, and
the continent's resilient entrepreneurial spirit. We also discuss
how sustainability and climate change impact local economies and
the significance of contextual insights in implementing
strategies.


Tedd advocates the power of learning from failures and how these
experiences fuel innovation. He also emphasises the art of
storytelling, effective communication, and the need for clear,
intentional writing.


A must-listen for anyone interested in digital economies,
entrepreneurship, and the craft of storytelling.
