In 2002, Patrick Awuah left his lucrative job as an executive at Microsoft, moved back to Ghana, and founded Ashesi University. Realizing that a root cause of underdevelopment was poor leadership, Patrick set up Ashesi University to train the next generation of ethical and entrepreneurial leaders in Ghana and Africa. Today, Ashesi University is one of the leading Universities on the continent and has had a tremendous impact on higher education in Ghana. In this episode, Patrick shares the inspiring story around the founding of Ashesi University, its vision and impact, and his outlook on higher education in Africa. He also has some wonderfully honest advice for young people looking to take audacious steps to contribute to the continent's sustainable development.
