Episode 52
Thursday, 19 June, 2025

What if the solution to global poverty wasn’t more aid, but more entrepreneurs? In this episode, Richard Medcalf speaks with Etienne Salborn, founder of the Social Innovation Academy (SINA), a transformative movement turning refugees, orphans, and disadvantaged youth into social entrepreneurs. From a single project in Uganda to 19 communities across Africa, Etienne’s work is redefining education, leadership, and impact—by creating “change-maker makers.” In this conversation, you’ll learn: Why the traditional aid model often fails—and how SINA’s “free responsibility” philosophy rewrites the rulesHow a traumatised youth can transform into a powerful leader of a thriving enterpriseThe radical initiation that helps people shed limiting beliefs and reclaim their agencyHow to scale leadership without centralised control—so movements grow like forests, not factoriesWhat most leaders miss about building others who can lead without you For anyone who wants to multiply leaders and leave a legacy that lasts, this one’s essential listening.
