00:08:44
Thank you so much for sharing that with us. I think you've had an incredible, and at times very difficult journey, and I really appreciate you being clear and honest with us on those topics. I haven't gone through many of the things that you've gone through, but I've also had a lot of really powerful inspiring women in my life and they've been people who've cared deeply and have been willing to put in time and energy to me to try and create me into the person I am today. So I absolutely understand where you're coming from
00:09:22
and having been mentored by women in your life. One thing I wanted to talk about was your volunteer work at VARNA Trust utazoi ya Sino mtotoo Adi? Wania watu wanyara?

Alimua, wakati wakati wa mtsino wa kwa 30 mtsino, in my life in different ways for I met Nyasha, she's called Nyasha Gwatizo, she's the founder of Vanna Trust. I met her in Nairobi, it was a physical meeting, I was connected by one of my friend who we met in school and when she heard about my story, what I do with Kosi Afrika and what I've been doing since like for the last 10 years, she was like oh I'm I'm to Kenya, I want to meet you. It was during COVID time. And when she came we met, and we had a conversation. And we're nice to what she's doing with Vanna Trust actually in the South Africa, because she does a lot of her work in Zimbabwe, where she takes a lot of kids back to school and just connected for...
00:10:47
We had a mentorship programme with her for six month. And, yeah, when she was talking, she was like, Kwa hihivyo na majia, na kwenye kaiya kwa mandi ya wesha na mantele inaasa Sasa mwandele Kwa inaadomeza na Kwa la basa, inaadomeza ya wesha

Kama ânaye, atisa wa maja wale, who helping others cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset. In your view, what does that mean? What makes up an entrepreneurial mindset? And do you think there are innate character qualities that some people have that make them more suited to entrepreneurship? Or do you think it's something that anyone can learn with the right effort?
00:19:28
Yeah, I think today was... There's a book I was reading, and I was listening to someone. Someone said you have three types of people, Na mtuli k disciplines kwa ambazo, mwisho, ni yako ya mngine na mtumikia kwa hivyo. Na mtula, ni mtua yako ya kwa sababu. Na mtuma tajiri kwa umetengene. Ni mtua kwa haba.

Kwa mbazi bichi akerataka ja meetakuki ya waunana kama kutoka. Wao nina kutaka ya kutoka ya kwaajili. Waunana waothi kama kutoka. I solve.
00:20:53
What I do is I mentor for them, first of all, is to change their mindset, you know. I work with thousands and thousands of young people in schools. And one of the things is about mindset. And for me, when I talk about mindset, it's about, you know... In the Kenyan perspective, you find, like, youth are many. Are many youth.

00:23:27
I said, I just come to you, I want you to be my mentor to entrepreneurship. I see what you do and I'm like, okay, fine. We can have Zoom calls. We can discuss, I can have more questions together. But back, how I define entrepreneurship, it's just about can you solve something for your community or solve something for someone.
00:23:49
And you understand entrepreneurship so beautifully in a way that I think a lot of us have struggled to sort of take on. Understanding that it's sort of like falling in love with the problem. And I mean the problem for you is making sure that young people understand the importance of their role in their community and their own ability and potential to become entrepreneurs know and see their amazing ideas go throughout the world I think it so commendable, to me it looks like you've worked for all of these great, I don't want to say companies but organizations that do something somewhat similar with youth I was wondering if you could tell us a little bit about your experience nini

Lakini nchini ungeja, kwa ungezi, kwa mtanda ukufanya watu. Ndiyo ni mtanda mangaka nyumbani ya buke ndiyo kwasiti ni viwanza kwata wasi. Ka bushumia ni mlambo Ndiya kufanya As someone, one of the things is, I have seen young people changing their mindset, you know. It starts with mindset, like when they come in the fellowship program, then you see them, how they behave. After six months, you just think like, oh, this person, maybe they've been here for around two years or three years.
00:26:22
And for me, seeing one of the things which I'm proud of, I'm Pan -African, Kwa mbili kutoka kwa afrika na ekosistema, ndio kwa idea kwa mbili kwa kwa mbili mbili, na kwa mbili kwa mbili kwa mbili kwa mbili. Huyo ni mbili. Kwa mbili kwa Kosi Afrika, kwa kwa mbili, kwa mbili kwa mbili, kwa huliko mbazo kwenye kwa huuwa kwa Afrika. Mtaba kuulia uko mbazo. Mbazo hulika mbazo.

Ukiwana ambayo ya Kosi Africa. I think, for me what I discovered is, Kosi Africa had been there for two years, but before we had a foundation called OneDollarBackToSchool. But for me what I discovered is, if you want to change the young mindset, you need to change them at an early age. Because I struggled so much to change people between the age of 20 to 26 there.

Everything I gave 80 % was to go back to young people. For me Coasts of Africa is something for me... It's something for me which brings hope to these young people. What we do is we discover it goes back to my story Habibiswa, nubuidi wengi maweke, Nipo za mkubwa mafumafu. Nilo nagijingizi. Nilo niamu sote. artifacti Wendy. moja, na kutoa ndiria. jebuhu We have kids who just want someone to motivate them, you know. For them to start the first step, see? And after we do that, they ignite. That's very important, where we want them to be problem -solvers within their community, we want them to give back, you know. As those candles are igniting, as we ignite, they also ignite, so we have more candles being impacted.
00:30:30
Yeah, that's why, like, that's why for me, Kwa nazoeke kwa Impact Afrika ni kwa Kwa hivi, wakaafi ya kosa Afrika, kwa sababu ya Ukufungu kwa anayoto wae Unapaka kutuleka, ualisa kutumanzo senaye. Na ishiisha hivyo.
00:31:20

00:33:49
it's in compare between 2019 and now i've seen different startups for now from Nigeria it's a financial one and seeing such type of startups owned by AFrikans There are three different startups in Africa Here's one, start up in Africa owned by people outside Africa. Number two, there are those start up in Africa owned by Africans headquartered in Africa. And then the last one, there are those start ups in Africa owned by Africans but actually headquartered outside Africa. And that's the problem.
00:34:28
I think for me I'm pushing in terms of, okay can't you have a start up owned by Africa headquartered in Africa? Ntumikwa kutoka mnzuri ya Afrika, afrika maaweza na mnzuri. Afrika yao kutoka mnzuri. Na mnzuri, kutoka mnzuri ya yao. Ni kutoka mnzuri ni Afrika, na kutoka mnzuri ni afrika yao. Kwa hivyo kwa hapa, kuwa kutoka ya kawa kwa kulika wakati. Ndiyo wanafanya, kutoka wakati wa afrika kwa huni kutoka. Ndiyo wanafanya, kutoka wakati wa Ni nasa Afrika wanafanya jimi kwenye mbwya. Na sababu wa na mbwya membershi Afrika na mbawa na mbali nyingi na Afrika wanafanya kujusu Na hizi imekuwa ni kama nanja inao kwa umbele na Savannah, ninao kama ambao ndio na frajawa.

Kwa hivyo. kwa mwende mwengewa, nyingi mwende, Nonetheless I give young people advice tell them do not move away from your why when you started that startup Because your WHY is so strong Your why is to help solve that problem not just making money Your why is about solving that problem The moment you discover your why within your startup Actually, it will help you solve your problem of money Na kiwelo ya kwaifu zaidia kutoka waje kwa yao vya kwa hivyo. Na hivyo mawezi, nakipaao kutoka kwa haafili. Kwa haafili wa Afrika, haafili wa ambuo vya... Mkibusida wa Na hivyo, inatumikuwa hinafanya kwa haafili ya amboja. Lakini kwa Afrika, naifanyako kutoka kwa haafili. inaanza oby wamaza it's not an easy. So what I tell them is first of all let it work well, know how to pitch and pitching so difficult for young people either strain them.
00:37:54
How do you pitch you idea? What I learned from MIT actually, bootcamp. How do you pitch you idea? How do you put yourself there? What type of statements you need to be talking? These are one of, some of the young people I mentored from last year. For now they're doing well with their startup.
00:38:13

Hiyo mafari, hihivi ya ekosistema.
00:39:49
Asha hapamaziri kuulipia ndiyo kutoka. Kwa hivyo mbiniki kiwami, ndiyo yote uzabaikia
00:40:04
to bring back entrepreneurship into people's minds. And I think it was Spencer that said, in some ways we sort of start training curiosity and entrepreneurship out of kids. So I really like your model. It really seems like you understand, not just your vision so clearly, but a lot of the barriers that you're working with. And that's kind of enviable, honestly, because I think a lot of, I mean for myself, but for a lot of the entrepreneurs that we interview, I think they're still trying to work a lot of that out. So I think you're on an amazing path. I am sort of wondering though, I guess playing devil's advocate a little bit, Has there been a time when something just kind of blindsided you and you had to make a major pivot or completely deviate from your plan? And did that go? And you went back, is there anything changed about that experience or do you just take it as a learning experience?
00:41:17
Yeah, I think I always tell my team what they know about me is

And I was very shocked. Imagine the $20 ,000, $30 ,000 was to actually, we were to loan to around 30 schools educating.
00:46:19
For me, that's a failure to me. And I understood how the ecosystem works now, do you need to corrupt everywhere? And I said no to corruption. Kil JPPZ Huyoswevu na kutunua ni mbama nazinga kwa mfoto mtua. Kwa hivyo, kama bata Hivyo hii kwanza ni kwa Lakini alimu redenye Hii ni inakusawa. Councillors this is what I don't want. This is not my culture. My life has been having a lot of ups and downs. For me, the I said, I learned actually from failure if I don't fail, then I ask myself, I'm not innovating. Failure is part of my life and failure is part of an entrepreneur as an entrepreneur it must risk everything. Ako mwisho na wakati nikuani wa Tumulene, wakati kwa wewe, kwa hivyo, mojai chumo,
00:47:57
you're uncertain about things that I'm doing. My whole job in my nine to five is to be absolutely certain about everything to the most minute detail. But to succeed in entrepreneurship and in innovation, you have to be comfortable with failure, and I think that's an excellent point.
00:48:15
So once again, thank you very much for sharing that with us. Now I think something that's quite interesting to explore is how someone's approach kwa kutoka kwa mbao, na kwa pia kwa kwa kiwa kwa kajali kwa kutoka kwa kwa kutoka kwa kwa kujo majia kujo, kutoka kwa mbao? Kwa hivyo, kwa kwa kujo, kuka kwa kujo kwa kwa kujo?

For me I have learnt in a space where from the start -up world, from the corporate world the most difficult people I've been working with them is people from corporate because start -up is so different from corporate, like turning from corporate coming start -up.

What I do is as a leader I like so much giving opportunity for people to fail, Na hivyo huwezi kuhusu mlambi. Na ukumpewa nzini, wakati jao sakuli ya mlaki. Kwa hivyo kutifunga, na nimali nchini mbili kufanyuma, bila kutifundisha, na lakini pia, mantaza kwa si Mijo. Na hivyo, tatoka kwento nyingi mlambi Nataka inaweza, na ya kusi Afrika, wakati mbili wako mbili. Lakini mkati, kwa hivi ni mbali, ni kwa kwa mtaka. Kwa mtaka? Kwa mtaka? Kwa Kwa mtua mtaka? Kwa mtaka? Kwa mtua mtaka? Na pale shiiwa kila kama wako na Akisikia wakati kwa kila wakati ambayo. Talaiah ofuonga anayolewa kwa mwenyei wakati hiko wa lakini janami ya unuuo.

When I'm saying integrity or when I'm collaboration, they want to see how I collaborate with the young people. That thing in me, it will just actually go back and now. Now it's just like candles, you know? It just lights other people.
00:54:20
For me, leadership starts with the person. For example, if you're the CEO, if you're the founder, it starts with you. What to succeed, to people to fail and be very careful what you do in front of your employees or in front of the people you are leading. They won't listen to what you say, they will actually do to what you do. Because whenever people move from their comfort zone, they are like kids. That's why they're doing it.
00:54:57
I mean, that was really beautifully articulated. You said a lot there. I'm actually really excited to get this edited so I can listen to it again and share it out with others. I think your view of leadership and how to pass that on is – I mean, it's idealistic, but I believe in it. I believe that it has to happen in for the world to become the great world that we envision for the future. Thank you so much for sharing so much with us today. I feel like we still have a million questions for you, so we're definitely going to have to keep this conversation going. But for now, do you have time for just one more question?
00:55:43
Yeah.
00:55:45
Are there any particular words of wisdom that you want to leave us with today? And you know you could draw in someone else's words or a favorite quote You know or it could just be something from your journey
00:56:01
Yeah, I think one of the things I 'll tell people is
00:56:08
Do not... What you are passing through today, the difficulties you're passing through today Mwenye watu ya zote, ya mba. Unamishwa waezi wa mbili zote, wawe za mtumu baeo, bhi na mtu. Kukulonjua na zote. Unasema, uniatai, unakumule kutoka unapawa mbu, zote, Kwa pounds is something you need to feel it as a problem. You're the person who may have felt that problem, so it's an opportunity for you not to say, okay, I pass through this, but I want to be a problem solver. I want to solve this experience. And maybe the last one is in terms of people who are building startups. Do not build startup because you want funds, you want money. I want you to build your start -up and ask yourself what's the why behind your start -up? I want that start -up to be something solving people's problem. Focus on solving people's problem, money will come. Because that's where when it starts use, when you start seeing the world as, you I want money, then that start -up won't go anywhere.

Umaozi watching chat I believe so much in the uniting candles where you are not about candles of education, it's about the candles of what it's different.
