In today’s episode, host Kawaku Aning sits down with Nono Bokete, CEO and Head of Digital Strategy and Data at Data Sentinels for a candid conversation about how technology is reshaping our access to knowledge, the cost of modern tech, and what privacy really means in our hyper-connected world.

Together, they explore how technology enables access to knowledge systems across continents, fosters human connection, and at the same time, presents new challenges around authenticity and digital overload. Nono brings a unique perspective to the table, not only as a leader in AI and data science, but as someone deeply invested in empowering communities and cultivating global impact.

This episode dives deep into questions like: Does virtual access really compare to being in a room together? How are our relationships, personal and professional transformed by tech? And what are we truly sacrificing when we trade privacy for convenience?
