Episode 8: Chidi Afulezi on Designing Creative Entrepreneurship
The startup world has become completely obsessed with being on the look-out for the next big sexy tech unicorn. Is there any space for creative entrepreneurs in this world, and do they have any real (investable) value? In this episode I sit down with Chidi Afulezi, who is a battle tested product sensei, creative entrepreneur and educator, to explore why creative entrepreneurs matter more than you think. And why we need to design better systems to support them.
Join us on a storytelling journey that will reframe the ‘starving artist’ as of the most powerful forces and designers of our culture. Be intrigued as we unearth creative unicorns you didn’t realise existed. And be inspired by the sheer volume of value-laden opportunities that we have not begun to tap into on the African continent. Opportunities that are set to drive the next wave of talented, billionaire entrepreneurs.
This conversation was such a gift, and I hope that you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed having it.
