0:14 – Accident inspires man to aid migrants: When Ashif Shaikh was 17, three migrant workers were killed in an explosion at a firecracker factory near his home in India. Having grown up in an excluded community in India, Shaikh had faced his own experiences with insecurity, discrimination and a lack of protection for workers. While still a teen, he founded the non-profit Jan Sahas, and he is now CEO of People’s Courage International, which works to support internal migrants, strengthen grassroots organizations, and prevent sexual violence against women and children.
03:30 – Dairy protein grown without cows: Lactoferrin supports immunity, boosts gut health and improves digestion – but right now, 90% of the global supply goes into expensive baby formula, primarily in one market. Producing lactoferrin requires vast quantities of milk – a problem where Fengru Lin, CEO of Turtle Tree, has spotted an opportunity. TurtleTree uses precision fermentation to create pure lactoferrin in a cow-free process – by getting microbes to do the growing instead.
06:06 – Afrobeat song teaches cybersecurity: Cybersecurity is crucial, but experts often miss out on one key aspect: making it fun. That’s why the Cybersafe Foundation has tapped into Africa’s vibrant musical heritage to bring you something you thought you’d never hear – an Afrobeat track that riffs on two-factor authentication. Here, CyberSafe’s founder Confidence Staveley explains how the song came about.
08:12 – Does money talk make you anxious?: Having open conversations about money can be the first step on the journey to long-term financial stability, says Lin Shi, an academic, actuary and World Economic Forum Global Shaper. That’s why she founded the Money Health Collective – a free-to-access online space that facilitates open conversations about money in a supportive community, with the aim of helping users build a brighter financial future.
