Aziz Musa talks with Kirsty van den Bulk on The Wise Why about his journey from being the youngest CEO to a social entrepreneur and how he saved his staff and students. Aziz is a Blackpool native with Sudanese heritage who started a venture to train the next generation in digital skills in Sudan, where such education was non-existent due to long-standing sanctions.During the conversation, Aziz shared his epiphany when he realised that his professional success was not adding value to the world. This realisation led him and his wife to establish a venture focused on empowering young people in Sudan with digital skills. The conversation also touched upon Aziz's challenges during the conflict in Sudan, which led him to relocate his family and employees to keep them safe. Despite such challenges, Aziz's agency continues its mission of empowering young people with digital skills in Sudan while adapting to new challenges.Aziz's journey is inspiring and shows resilience and compassion towards those who rely upon strong leadership during times of crisis. It is a call to action for anyone looking for more meaning in their careers or considering pivots towards socially impactful endeavours.
