Show Notes
Poku Osei transitioned from hustling to sell sugar and DVDs in Ghana to running one of Bristol’s most celebrated social enterprises. Babbasa focuses on helping young people access and thrive with new opportunities, including through alliances with corporates and big institutions.

Neil and Poku get philosophical and pragmatic on whether a system can or should be changed from the inside.
