For this episode, we headed to Ghana to speak on social entrepreneurism with the Founder and CEO of 1 Billion Africa, Prince Adu-Appiah.
Prince shares his vision of ‘Turning problems into projects’ and how he approached developing a movement whose projects and activities have impacted over 12,500 Africans, with the majority being youth, women and children. We discuss his love of leadership, his tech background, his start up story, branding, marketing and how he activated a base of supporters, donors, and leaders. We also discuss leadership principles and what it means to inspire Africa’s Youth to find problems in their communities and to turn them into projects.
