Description

Global I Am is a narrative-driven podcast by diasporic global culturalists and storytellers exploring the forces that shape identity, culture, power, and capital in a rapidly evolving world. Positioned at the nexus of the culture and our capital, the show convenes visionary leaders, creators, investors, scholars, and institution builders whose work is redefining what it means to lead - and belong - in the 21st century.


Through thoughtful dialogue and strategic inquiry, Global I Am examines how story becomes strategy, how culture informs markets, and how global communities transform ideas into enduring institutions. Each episode invites listeners into conversations that are both intellectually rigorous and deeply human -  connecting heritage to ambition, creativity to enterprise, and personal conviction to collective progress.


The philosophical foundation of the program draws from Patrick A. Howell’s literary anthology work, Dispatches from the Vanguard (The Global International African Arts Movement v. Donald J. Trump, Penguin/Random House, 2020 (c)), which reflects on leadership, cultural stewardship, and the responsibility of shaping the future. The show also builds upon the legacy of Getting Deals Done from Victory & Noble - extending a long-standing commitment to bridging relationships, opportunity, and global influence.


Global I Am is more than a podcast — it is a forum for those building what comes next.  Now.
