As the host of an African based Podcast it's always a pleasure to host people who are passionate about the country, the continent and the future of this land.

GG Alcock is such a guest. His insights are deep, his commentary clear and his enthusiasm infectious. This episode contains so many layers of “Passion Fuelled Optimism” which all combine to make a wonderful episode.

GG shares his journey in a candid way emphasising that hard work and a little luck go a long way. “Look for where your skills can take people places they can't go and you have an opportunity…” says GG.

With mass urbanisation, Africa is open for business and the scale of this cash economy is always a surprise. Technology, formal business and everyday people have an opportunity to be part of this river of money however it takes deliberate action and thought. Examining our biases is a great place to start and GG shares so much that it's hard not to.

As an avid reader, writer and speaker GG packs so much into this episode. It is not one to miss!
