  • Excellent Commentary

    Really insightful podcast, I’ve learnt more about the macroeconomy of Africa and its impact on the global economy than I ever would in an MBA economics module class. I’m really interested in doing business in West Africa (Banjul) and East Africa (Kenya). Can you add your website and socials in the podcast show-notes? That would be really useful that way we as your listeners can connect and join any newsletter you may have. I’m sure your sponsors would appreciate that too. Thank you 🙏🏿
