Book Blurb
“The journey of a thousand miles starts with one step” (Chinese Proverb) Writing this book was a deliberate choice to share his past, present and project an emerging future. This showcases the kind of person GS is, one who speaks of future possibilities, working in the present to overcome challenges and not bound to past limitations. I am beyond stoked to see how PIN has evolved till now and will continue to evolve in the days to come, inspiring us ALL to keep making dreams come alive one step at a time!

The Paradigm Initiative Story: A Work in Progress" is truly a compelling narrative which chronicles his remarkable journey, offering powerful lessons, impactful stories, and profound insights into leadership, innovation, and steadfast commitment. His warming on "the fire next time'- codified as "moving from digital divide to AI and Quantum-divide "is a wake-up call to action to Africa's policy makers, leadership and families at all levels. I recommend the book as a strategic compass to survive the trauma of the emerging AI-World and Quantum civilization atmosphere.
