00:00i don't know if you ever watch these uh
00:02post-apocalyptic movies where the world
00:05been taken over by zombies and there's
00:07one lone survivor and his or her dog
00:09and half the movie they're by themselves
00:12and then they find other survivors and
00:14then the violins start playing in the
00:16wonderful it literally felt like that it
00:19felt like we had found
00:21a tribe of people who who got us who
00:30it's very difficult when you are an
00:32entrepreneur in africa
00:33because you cannot share experience with
00:37because nobody did what you're trying to
00:39do what i call the loneliness
00:41of the entrepreneur in a sense
00:43entrepreneurship is like a really really
00:46it's difficult when you feel alone and
00:49sometimes you may be going through
00:50something and you think that you are the
00:53going through it and you may not be able
00:56the next mile say it's lonely to be an
01:00but once once you meet these other guys
01:01you feel like a brother a sister that
01:04you're suddenly in this room full of
01:06business leaders and founders
01:08and you're suddenly not alone because
01:10everybody has the same problem that you
01:11thought you only had first of all you
01:13start sitting with all these other
01:15entrepreneurs and you're like my
01:16goodness me and my craziness we are not
01:19it was amazing that would share things
01:22yeah i'm struggling too and then
01:24somebody says well i went through this
01:26problem maybe a year ago
01:27or two days ago six months ago i see
01:29transformation network
01:31is an amazing concept because it's like
01:34stitching together this global fabric
01:36of like-minded people if all of these
01:38people can communicate with each other
01:40they can interact with each other and
01:42form a team then imagine the kind of
01:44cumulative impact that it can create
01:45not only do you find people who want to
01:49but you also see people who are in the
01:51same journey and you can encourage each
01:53other and you have these trusted group
01:54of people who you can call
01:56if you're uh if you're going through a
01:58struggle or if there's an issue or if
02:00i can pick up the phone and call anybody
02:02and say hey i need this could you help
02:04they would go out of their way to do
02:05that we have pop-up network groups
02:07actually where people just
02:08show up somewhere and they meet you know
02:10for drinks or something
02:12so you gain lifelong friends that are on
02:15with you it is like a family in a sense
02:19people are really trying to help each
02:21other there's been some business between
02:22each other we're already seeing huge
02:24benefits of the network
02:26locally in india collaboration ideas
02:30having a sounding board of sorts and to
02:32have that opportunity to expand it
02:35just our own country is a very very
02:38already just from meeting the people
02:40today i've got three opportunities to
02:43for business across africa never been to
02:46but now i must go because of the people
02:50it just changes everything 59 of
02:53all network companies have done business
02:57and that is without a doubt what's
02:59happened in our network just to give an
03:02our entire asset and infrastructure is
03:05insured with one of our seed colleagues
03:08the transformation means this is going
03:10to be better their business is going to
03:12scale it's going to be successful their
03:14families are going to benefit
03:16their community is going to benefit
03:17their country is going to benefit those
03:20that's where i think there's going to be
03:22some real interesting results
03:24it's the multiplier effect of the change
03:28which produces growth many times people
03:31like don't you feel that the this person
03:33is doing is trying to
03:34replicate your model and do you feel
03:36that threat i always say see the problem
03:39huge you need at least 10 000 people
03:41like me to solve this problem
03:44i believe that each of us deep down we
03:47want to serve humanity
03:49we want to make the world a better place
03:51we want to know that our life
03:53mattered there's no way we're not going
03:54to succeed they are not going to do it
03:57we are not going to do it alone but
03:58we're doing it together
04:23the networking ability that stanford
04:26had put together there and like-minded
04:30trying to create impact and trying to do
04:33things that are extraordinary
04:34that feeling and that sensation for me
04:37again as i say my network
04:39is my strength something that has stuck
04:41with me it's an african improver but i
04:43first heard it at seat
04:45is if you want to walk fast walk alone
04:48if you want to go far
04:49walk together the seed transformation
04:52network is a way to walk
04:53together so join us so we can synergize
