Yet another interesting episode as Bigshot Business Network CEO, Linkford Biz dives into what it could mean for Africa if the U.S stopped its support of the continent.

Over the years, trade relations between Africa and the United States have slumped raising fear that the Africa is no longer a priority to the U.S anymore. This has also brought the question whether the AGOA will be renewed or not.

Linkford believes it's time to disconnect from the American placenta and focus on growing intramarkets on the continent which presents an astounding opportunity for African entrepreneurs and also governments to create more partnerships on the continent.

If we humor the thought that Africa is the next frontier, we would have to accept that this is new then. But Linkford Biz, still believes that Africa is not the next frontier, it's been the only frontier since the world began.

In this episode he encourages entrepreneurs to also take up the responsibility to make something of the opportunities that everyone else but Africans is talking about. The continent has room for growth, invention and re-invention of which Africans must be first in the line.

While challenging the old way of doing things he also understands that we have to work with the current system to create something of our own.

Focusing on how youthful the continent is and is expected to be in the future, Linkford, encourages government leaders and policy makers to involve the youth but also at the same time for youth to get involved in the decision making that affects their future.

Join Linkford Biz on yet another exciting journey through Africa's possibilities.
