Potential Is Not Enough with Dr. Joshua Chimakula Ngoma

In this episode of the Diary 101 Podcast, Akakandelwa Kandepwe sits down with Dr. Chimakula Ngoma, a former mining engineer and social entrepreneur working with the Enterprising Africa Regional Network (EARN). Dr. Ngoma shares his journey from mining into youth development and entrepreneurship, and explains EARN’s approach to developing young agripreneurs through aptitude-based selection, practical business experience, personal development and ecosystem support. The conversation explores the role of technology in modern agriculture, the importance of reframing young people as problem solvers rather than problems to be solved, and why young people should look beyond their degrees to identify problems they can solve.
