In the latest episode of Willing & Abel, Ayanda and host Mike Abel speak about the opportunity for upliftment in the forgotten township economy, using one’s own unique skills to contribute to society instead of just throwing money at the problem (even if you have the money), and how you can’t quantify the time you put into people.

The conversation has so many nuggets of wisdom for business people both aspiring and seasoned, and anyone who cares about contributing to South Africa.

A tech-focused entrepreneur, Nick helps clients, communities and start-ups understand the value of AI, automation, and digital solutions. He is the founder and director of the South African AI Association, which aims to boost economic growth, trade, investment, equality, and inclusivity in South Africa, and his company, AI Media Group, runs the AI Expo Africa.
