Its been quite a long time since this conversation was recorded and the world has changed significantly but I feel its even more relevant today where we are busy evaluating the world we want to see post Covid.

I was really impressed by Gift. For a young man aged 22 with a very unique perspective, born from his humble beginnings, and a very sharp mind he has such a clear sense of purpose that I could not help but be inspired and uplifted by this conversation. We spoke about many things chiefly sustainability and recycling but through the lens of equality and the unique South African context as well as technology, AI and what it essentially means to be human. I had so much fun chatting to this amazing young man, enjoy the conversation.
