ON Uganda

At the East Africa Carbon Markets Forum 2026, Mark Mutaahi, Co-founder and CEO of Carbon Access Lab, explains why government, investors, banks and project developers can share the same ambition yet struggle to move together. Using the analogy of passengers travelling in different carriages of the same train, he explores how understanding each stakeholder’s role, readiness and priorities can help turn conversations into viable partnerships.

She was called a "planned kid." Undermined for being young, a woman, and having an accent. And she almost let a secret slip on camera. 👀In this episode, we sit down with brand strategist and digital powerhouse Tracy Ikopit for a conversation that gets uncomfortably honest about what it really takes to lead when the whole room doubts you.We go deep into the Gen Z vs. older generation divide, the misconceptions, the myths about laziness, and why "working smarter, not harder" isn't an excuse, it's a survival strategy. Tracy breaks down where AI actually fits into the future of work (and why "garbage in, garbage out" is the truest thing you'll hear all week), why influencer marketing is broken, and what it really means to be a patriot when your country doesn't always make it easy to love it.This is a conversation about marketing, digital trends, about faith, identity, resilience, and refusing to let anyone else write your story.If you've ever been the youngest person in the room, the only one who looks like you, or the one everyone underestimated… this episode is for you.🔔 Subscribe for more raw, unfiltered conversations with the people shaping Uganda's future.💬 Drop a comment: what's a moment someone underestimated you, and you proved them wrong?📲 Follow Tracy: @tracyikobet#Patriots #GenZ #Uganda #MiddleClassEconomy #DigitalMarketing #Podcast
