In this fourth episode of Ziwani’s RISK series, Kerryne Krause interviews Musyoki Muindi, a Kenyan entrepreneur in the electric motorbike market. He shares what it takes to pioneer new technology, highlighting how Enzi’s success is built on two priorities: chasing high performance through community-driven R&D, and ensuring their riders can always keep moving, no matter what.
He also offers deeply personal insights on risk and responsibility from his 17-year career at an international mission organisation, working in East Africa, the UK and the US – reflecting that God sometimes takes us on unexpected detours that only make sense in retrospect.
From lessons learned in navigating the complex dynamics of cross-cultural partnerships, to carefully calculating risk without seeing the whole picture, Musyoki’s story invites us to take a more nuanced view of risk, to value relationships, and to trust the unfolding purposes of God.

From Slum To CEO: The Courage To Take Counter-Intuitive Risks
Why would you leave the promise of career success and return to the slums you came from – on purpose?
In this second episode of Ziwani’s new RISK series, Kerryne Krause interviews Emmanuel Trinity, a remarkable Ugandan entrepreneur who went from unwilling gang member to leading a thriving group of social enterprises that have created over 3,000 jobs for youth in some of the toughest communities in Kampala.
He shares the counter-intuitive decisions that have defined his journey so far – like quitting a dream job at Coca-Cola to return to the slums, shifting from primarily US and UK outsourcing clients to focusing on African markets, and launching a microfinance bank to help break the cycle of poverty.
Be inspired by his story of radical faith, redemptive entrepreneurship, and the courage to ReFrame risk through a Kingdom lens.

What does it mean to look at something through a redemptive lens? How can the Christian Biblical worldview help us see our reality not as how it is, but how it should be? On the Reframed podcast channel, various perspectives are offered on how business can become a force for redemptive change within Africa’s unique contexts. In each series you’ll hear from business leaders as they explore the ways that we can fundamentally shape industry and transform society through Biblically-aligned practices.
