Season 2 of the Optimizing podcast has come to an end. Prof Barry Dwolatzky and his co-host Kerryn Gammie have presented 12 episodes in which they have conversations with leaders, role models and influencers in the Digital Economy in South Africa, Africa and the World. The metaphor in this season is “life as a relay race” and each guest was asked to pass “batons” to Kerryn and her generation of future leaders. In the epilogue Prof Barry and Kerryn reflect on these conversations and review the batons that were passed on.
