Bright Simons built the first system that lets anyone verify a pack of medicine with an SMS. Then he spent twenty years learning that no entrepreneur fixes more than a sliver of any problem. The founder of mPedigree and Honorary Vice President of IMANI explains why trust is the real supply chain, why fake seeds are a regulation problem before they are a product problem, and why the hero entrepreneur story is overdone.

He then lays out katanomics, his diagnosis of the fracture between politics and policy that leaves Africa rich in slogans and short of implementation, applied to Gen Z protests, digital sovereignty and the myth that Africa holds 30% of the world's minerals.

A conversation for anyone building, funding or regulating on the continent. Listen, share, and tell me: who are the connectors in your ecosystem?
