Recalculating Risk: Why The Hard Places Hold The Highest Potential
“It is a fallacy and a fantasy to think that you can live your life without risk. So let’s just start there, right? Life is risky – welcome to the game show!” In this fifth episode of Ziwani’s RISK series, Kerryne Krause interviews Curt and Katrina Aitken-Laird – who have spent decades living and working in some of the world’s most fragile contexts, from Afghanistan to Somalia. Drawing from their experiences in building a billion-dollar business in frontier markets and raising a family while being on a hit list – they challenge the short-sighted models of venture capital that often dominate investment decision-making, and call on Christians to rethink the far-reaching opportunities available to them. Be stirred by their honest reflections on joy, grief, redemptive purpose, and the Kingdom logic that dares to go where others won’t.Read the full blog here: https://ziwani.com/read/when-risk-is-worth-it-lessons-from-frontier-markets

Risk And Responsibility: Taking A Long Term View
In this fourth episode of Ziwani’s RISK series, Kerryne Krause interviews Musyoki Muindi, a Kenyan entrepreneur in the electric motorbike market. He shares what it takes to pioneer new technology, highlighting how Enzi’s success is built on two priorities: chasing high performance through community-driven R&D, and ensuring their riders can always keep moving, no matter what. He also offers deeply personal insights on risk and responsibility from his 17-year career at an international mission organisation, working in East Africa, the UK and the US – reflecting that God sometimes takes us on unexpected detours that only make sense in retrospect. From lessons learned in navigating the complex dynamics of cross-cultural partnerships, to carefully calculating risk without seeing the whole picture, Musyoki’s story invites us to take a more nuanced view of risk, to value relationships, and to trust the unfolding purposes of God.
