We had a ton of fun bumping into each other in perfect synchronicity with Mamadou and an instant friendship was born.   What is a conscious entrepreneur?   Somebody who starts an initiative which doesn’t have to be a business but integrates the essence of what I call “Ubuntu” = I am because we are.   Financial return isn’t enough or personal wins aren’t enough  The project has to integrate social return and how it impacts communities, in a nutshell, how does it do good for the world too? Then only can you operate at a conscious level behind this principle “all is one and one is all”.   Do nothing that is not for others, it’s like what people “Karma”.   I am you, you are me. All of us as human beings need to understand and integrate everything around us. Anything you do affects everyone, especially a business.  We can make profits, but we are at risk of losing our home, planet Earth.   We need to put it at the top of our attention as I wrote yesterday with Fred Wilson doing just that.   Mamadou “clicked” instantly when I shared our goals with PAWA to gather conscious people and business people together to build conscious businesses, he cancelled his schedule to come and share his wisdom with us as an entrepreneur.  “PAWA is exactly what I have been looking for because I feel so lonely telling people why it’s so important to infuse consciousness in business”  When you separate things then one suffers versus the offer but when you integrate one with others, winning is a win when everyone wins, not just an entrepreneur.   Why not just being a social entrepreneur?   I had to divide myself in to, a social entrepreneur at night and a banker during the day. I had to integrate all the people that I was into one person to get peace of mind.   Steve Jobs was very spiritually inclined, so is Jack Dorsey. Steve integrated both and Jack integrates conscious thoughts and goals into his business constantly thinking about how it can improve the world.--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/yawa/message This is a public episode.

Sheikha Bodour Al Qasimi and Mamadou Kwidjim Toure - Love Over Fear and the Ubuntu Love Challenge

There is a new viral challenge from Sharjah to the World that is placing #loveoverfear.  The current global pandemic has shown us how interconnected we are in more ways than we can imagine, and it has brought us to a critical moment in our humanity where we have to make a choice of how we move forward, and the only way to move forward is by embracing Ubuntu.  Ubuntu is a way of seeing the world that teaches us that "I am because we are".  It is a belief that helps us to realise that the only way each of us will thrive individually is by understanding that we are all part of one humanity. Each of our induvial thoughts and actions have an impact on the whole.  The #UbuntuLoveChallenge has taken off with world-famous entertainers, business leaders and everyone in between!  But it started right here in Sharjah, spearheaded by global thought leaders Sheikha Bodour Al Qasimi and the founder of the Africa 2.0 Foundation, and the man named to Forbes’ most influential people list of 2014, Mamadou Kwidjim Toure. Sally speaks to them both about how and why they came up with this challenge, and the incredible impact it has already had in its early days.
