In this episode titled "Afrocentrism as a Theory of Change” the conversation focuses on African investors and investing in African startups. The speakers discuss the challenges and opportunities faced by African startups seeking funding, and the need for a more visionary approach to investment. They note that many African investors are primarily focused on revenue and profit, while foreign investors may be more interested in the potential for future growth and disruption. The speakers also discuss the importance of balancing the need for vision and survival in startup businesses and the need for African investors to be more open-minded and forward-thinking in their investment approach.​

On this episode of ToC, we discuss Morality as a Theory of Change highlighting the difficulties in defining moral standards and principles within society. It argues that if we want to remove morality from a theological context and bring it into the secular realm, we must determine objective standards that can be used to define right and wrong. Our guest, Mr Bright, believes that there is something inherent in human nature that predisposes us to consider fairness, relationships, and the way we treat others. This is because humans are social animals and cannot live alone. Without moral principles, it is impossible to organize a society, and as a result, we must develop some form of moral standards.

This episode discusses the use of humour as a theory of change with our guest Christian Obi, popularly known as Igbo Wolf. Humour has been used throughout history as a tool for subversive communication, such as the court jester who was the only person allowed to make fun of people in power. Christian, a comedian, shares how he used humour as a coping mechanism for his social awkwardness and anxiety. He found that watching comedies repeatedly helped him deal with his anxiety, and eventually, he started creating his own content to help him cope. After his content gained popularity, he struggled with the idea of continuing to create content that originated from his mental struggles. However, he realized that humour can be used to raise awareness of mental health and to help others who may be going through similar struggles. Candidly, we see that humour can be a powerful tool for change and can be used to address social and political issues. ​
