From Scarcity to Ubuntu with Mamadou Touré

What happens when ancestral wisdom meets frontier tech? In this conversation, Mamadou Touré — founder of Ubuntu Tribe — lays out a living philosophy of “shared prosperity” where finance becomes regenerative, transparent, and truly inclusive.We explore:Ubuntu as a practical operating system for business (“I am because we are”)Why Western finance skews toward accumulation (collateral + info asymmetry) and how Islamic and Ubuntu logics differTokenized, gold-backed assets and traceable, mercury-free supply chains as a path beyond extractionScarcity as a social spell vs. abundance as practice — and how language (“economy” = oikos nomos, laws of the home) shapes realityAI and blockchain as tools for integrity and transparency, not control — the “finance + technology + spirituality” trifectaAfrica’s role in the next era: youth leadership, cultural memory, and a rising planetary consciousnessA few moments you’ll love: the “candy basket” story of collective joy, re-reading Malthus in an exponential tech age, and Mamadou’s closing seed: “All is one, and one is all.”Mamadou is Founder and CEO of Ubuntu Group focused on Advisory and Investment activities across industries and aimed at supporting firms in Africa achieving scalable and sustainable growth on the continent. He previously worked in global finance (Deloitte, IFC/World Bank, GE Capital) and has been recognized by Forbes and the World Economic Forum for his pioneering work at the intersection of finance, technology, and inclusive development.Voices of Emergence is a podcast about inner transformation and systemic regeneration, hosted by Alex de Carvalho and Rudy de Waele.Subscribe to explore the edges of leadership, culture, and consciousness.🎵 Intro & Outro MusicUsed with permission from AWARËTrack: Journey Live 5Listen on SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/awaremusic/jurney-live-5Explore more at: https://www.awaremusic.art
