@TouchlineX I think in Keane’s head, he feels it should be him not Carrick. He talks a lot of nonsense for TV.

Elon Musk: “Anyone who wants to make more than they take has my respect”

Elon is asked for his advice for entrepreneurs, to which he responds:

“I’m a big fan of anyone who wants to build. Anyone who wants to make more than they take has my respect. That’s the main thing you should aim for: to make more than you take and be a net contributor to society.”

He compares it to the pursuit of happiness:

“If you want to create something valuable financially, you don’t pursue that. It’s best to pursue providing useful products and services. If you do that, money will come as a natural consequence of that rather than pursuing money directly. You can’t pursue happiness directly. You pursue things that lead to happiness — fulfilling work, study, friends, loved ones.”

Elon continues:

“It sounds very obvious, but generally if somebody is trying to make a company work, they should expect to grind super hard and accept that there’s a meaningful chance of failure. Then just focus on having the output be worth more than the input. Are you a value creator? That’s what really matters: making more than you take.”

What if food loss could be transformed into farmer income? 🤔

In Mbale City, Uganda, Idi Mukasa Bate of Atari Farms is addressing key inefficiencies in the City’s agrifood system by building reliable supply chains and turning surplus into opportunity.

Through Atari Fresh, the team connects smallholder farmers to stable urban markets, supplying fresh produce like avocados, bananas, tomatoes, and green peppers to restaurants, hotels, and institutions across the region.🍠

Then came Avoglow - a move into value addition. Surplus and lower-grade avocados are turned into cold-pressed avocado oil (in three variants) and nutrient-rich seed powder. Together, these two brands reduce food waste, unlock farmer income, and create new opportunities for women and youth across the Mt. Elgon region.🥑

Idi reflects on what he is proud of today: “𝑂𝑛𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐼’𝑚 𝑚𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑑 𝑜𝑓 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑗𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑛𝑒𝑦 𝑖𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 ℎ𝑜𝑝𝑒 𝑤𝑒’𝑣𝑒 𝑠𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑒𝑑 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛 𝑓𝑎𝑟𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑚𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑒𝑠.

SHONA has been a key partner along the way, first through Generation Food Mbale and now through #AfriFOODLinks.
