Yesterday I appeared on the TV show “Maximizing Progress” with host Joost Bonsen. The show runs live every Wednesday at 6pm on Cambridge Community TV. The show has been on the air for approximately 10 years, and it focuses on technological innovation and entrepreneurship, especially in the context of development. Each week one guest is interviewed.
Joost is a visiting scientist at the MIT Media Lab, and he seems to have his hand in everything related to developmental entrepreneurship at MIT. He currently teaches the D-Lab class Development Ventures at the Media Lab. Previously, he was Program Director at MIT’s Legatum Center.
We discussed AITI, my experiences in East Africa, and the general subject of mobiles in Africa. Here is the show:
