In this thought-provoking episode, we unpack how exposure—to ideas, cultures, and media—shapes our understanding of life and opportunity (01:38). From the impact of Western media in Southern Africa (15:10) to the role of technology in opening new industries (22:55), we explore how staying relevant means continuous learning (29:03) and adapting with age (27:25).

We ask big questions: Are some skills too advanced to pick up later in life? (31:28) Will AI surpass human intelligence? (33:57) And how can we practice self-preservation through self-improvement in a fast-paced world? (36:45)

A powerful reflection on growth, tech, and timeless curiosity.
