When I was pursuing my undergraduate studies, it was almost framed as a choice: education or entrepreneurship. specially in developing contexts, itโs often assumed that young people must choose between โstaying in schoolโ and โchasing a dream.โ But what if that decision never needed to be binary?
The Burgess Institute for Entrepreneurship & Innovation is the reason I chose MSU. At Burgess, students donโt have to wait until after graduation to start building. They are encouragedโand equippedโto test ideas, fail fast, iterate, and grow while still in school.
If youโve ever wanted to explore my work but werenโt sure where to start, the easiest way is to read my books digitally on Amazon Kindle โ even if you donโt own a Kindle device.
This week at UNGA80, I had the privilege of joining the BBC Town Hall alongside Assistant Secretary-General Ahunna Eziakonwa (UNDP), ministers of digital transformation from Nigeria and Morocco, and fellow innovators to explore the future of work in Africa in the age of AI.
