Impact Masters Podcast
The Impact Masters Podcast explores the forces shaping Africa’s technology and innovation ecosystem while connecting them to global tech trends and best practices. Hosted by Michael Kimathi, we feature authentic conversations with founders, developers, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders who are building the future of Africa and influencing the global digital economy.
Each episode dives deep into how technology is transforming the way we live, work, create, and govern: from engineering and digital transformation to software development, developer experience, DevRel, product design, AI, and startup growth. While we are deeply rooted in Africa’s tech journey, we also explore global innovations, global movers and shakers, lessons, and collaborations that inspire local impact and worldwide relevance.
We tell authentic stories, preserve Africa’s tech history, share actionable insights, and challenge the status quo: Body, Mind, and Spirit.
If you’re a tech founder, developer, investor, or innovator looking to understand Africa’s digital future while staying connected to global technology trends, this podcast is your guide.
