Show notes

In this powerful episode of The Long Form Podcast, I sit down with Ghanaian entrepreneur Fred Swaniker — founder of African Leadership University (ALU), ALX, and Sand Technologies. We discuss his deep relationship with Rwanda and President Paul Kagame, the historic decision to cut ties with Belgium, and Africa’s urgent need to adapt in the AI revolution. Fred shares insights on entrepreneurship, risks he faced after leaving McKinsey and his vision for African education. We also tackle audience questions on AI risks, ALU's rankings, youth unemployment, and Fred’s personal hobbies. This is a must-watch for anyone interested in Rwanda, African politics, entrepreneurship, leadership, ICT, and the future of AI on the continent.Join our Patreon to enjoy ad-free viewing https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheLongFormPod or support us via our MTN Mobile Money Code 95462 or directly to our phone number: +250795462739Visit Sanny Ntayombya's Official Website: https://sannyntayombya.comProduced by LF Media
