Reframed

In this third episode of Ziwani’s RISK series, Kerryne Krause and Lerato Thekiso reflect on the importance of prudently counting the cost of risk as business leaders. From taking that first step as an entrepreneur to confronting corruption – they agree that good intentions must be matched with wisdom, governance and grit.

 

As an example, Kerryne shares a sobering story of a well-intentioned but hasty decision to comply with new legislation – one that cost her company millions and nearly shut it down.

So whether you're navigating regulatory complexity, ethical grey areas, or high-pressure leadership moments, this episode will challenge you to see risk not as something to avoid, but as something to ReFrame – through courage and a Kingdom lens.

Why would you leave the promise of career success and return to the slums you came from – on purpose?

 

In this second episode of Ziwani’s new RISK series, Kerryne Krause interviews Emmanuel Trinity, a remarkable Ugandan entrepreneur who went from unwilling gang member to leading a thriving group of social enterprises that have created over 3,000 jobs for youth in some of the toughest communities in Kampala.

 

He shares the counter-intuitive decisions that have defined his journey so far – like quitting a dream job at Coca-Cola to return to the slums, shifting from primarily US and UK outsourcing clients to focusing on African markets, and launching a microfinance bank to help break the cycle of poverty.

 

Be inspired by his story of radical faith, redemptive entrepreneurship, and the courage to ReFrame risk through a Kingdom lens.
