The Finance & Investing podcast kicks off 2024 with a 2 part series on Artificial Intelligence. Tune in to hear a different take on AI, where we delve into the investment side of AI.

Host: Itote Rubombora.

As the name suggests we discuss two things that, no matter how hard you try, you can never get away from – money and technology. This time on the show we get some help from our very own Nishlen Govender – a career finance professional and fellow co-host here at Impact Co. Together we unpack the history and influence money and technology have had on a global level, but as always, zoom in to see where they fit into the African story. The hope is that by looking back to see how we got here we’ll have a better shot at finding the best way to move forward as a continent and take our place in the creative economy.
