But also asking myself: If the narrative were different, what would Africa look like?\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cIf you take a historical view, you will see that storytelling has shaped the world and even the history of our very own continent. The stories that we were fed about who we are, where we come from, and what we can and cannot do have had very tangible outcomes that we\u2019re still living with today.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cI think it is incumbent on academics to do more research and to bring into the mainstream conversation this idea that storytelling has very tangible outcomes to economics, sociopolitical dynamics, to the social fabric of our societies, to how cultures change over time.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cThe problem is not always external. It\u2019s not about how people look at us. We really need to start paying a lot more attention to how we look at ourselves.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>On fear<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;I have very little issues with embarrassment or feeling like I don\u2019t want to be judged.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWe really need to master fear because fear is such a limiting thing and it really is sometimes only in our minds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>On lessons learned<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cNo outcome is guaranteed when you\u2019re an entrepreneur.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cSometimes, a narrative that is perpetuated against a specific group of people for a long time ends up being bought into by that group of people as if it was the truth about them.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cExcellence in what you do makes you feel good about yourself and makes you stand out.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cHaving a vision is important, but also being flexible enough to let life do its thing along the way is hugely important in terms of staying okay when things don\u2019t necessarily go the way you want them to go.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cA meaningful life is made up of meaningful moments. It\u2019s meaningful moments that add up to a great life.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cSometimes we feel like we can\u2019t make a difference unless we are world renowned, which is absolutely not true.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Action points <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\">What is your key takeaway from this episode?
