Six guests share their stories of failure. Our undercover reporter took to the streets of Oxford during the 2018 Skoll World Forum to uncover the stories of failure. Let’s face it – this isn’t talked about enough, and this is what this podcast is for: learning from others so we go further and faster to the impact we’re aiming for.

On this episode, you’ll hear responses from the following awesome folks:

Gayatri Datar of Earth Enable
Jake Porway of Datakind
Katie Bunten-Wamaru of Segal Family Foundation
Binta Jammeh of Konexio
Ryan Child of 5asideCHESS
Alison Gates formerly of Inyenyeri

Thank you to all of the guests who have shown such vulnerability by paying forward their hard lessons to all of you.

Working in social entrepreneurship is not easy. The path is strewn with obstacles and many times we will stumble. The best thing to do is make good of the failure, and share it with others in the hope they learn from it. That’s what this episode is about.

In this week’s episode, I’m trying something new. Instead of just hearing from one guest, you’ll hear from 11.

I asked several past guests on the show “What do you wish you’d known before starting your social enterprise?” On this episode, you’ll hear responses from the following awesome folks:

Simon Dixon from Kwango Kwaku
Grant Brooke from Twiga Foods
Ken Banks from Kiwanja.net
Beth Meadows from Mercado Fresco
Roshan Paul from Amani Institute
Audrey Cheng from Moringa School
Vava Angweni from Vava Coffee
Randy Welsch from Jibu
Jim Taylor from Proximity Designs
Samir Ibrahim from SunCulture

Each of the guests this week have been brutally honest and candid in their responses, sharing their hard won lessons, since starting out on their journey.

The first few years of a social enterprise’s journey are not going to be easy. With these words of wisdom, I hope you’ll learn that everyone wishes they knew more when starting out – there’s never enough you can know. You’ve got to trust you’re on the right path, and taking strength from this community, stick to your vision.
