as posted by the channelTIMESTAMPS:
Akon joins Earn Your Leisure for a powerful conversation covering music, business, technology, and the future of Africa. He explains why the key to longevity in music is creating timeless records that people can relate to, how he’s strategically selling portions of his catalog like a real estate portfolio, and why he believes record contracts only become a problem after artists start generating significant revenue. Akon also shares the business structure that has helped him avoid bad deals throughout his career.
The discussion expands into Africa’s economic future, where Akon provides an update on his $6 billion city project and explains why he believes Africa represents the greatest opportunity on the planet. He discusses the impact of outside influence on the continent, why Africans should be careful not to over-focus on music as a path to success, and his belief that language has historically been used as a tool to divide Africa rather than unite it.
Akon also dives into the next wave of technology, unveiling his AI company, Con GPT, which aims to connect Africa through its many dialects. He shares why social media engagement is now one of the most important business metrics, why data is the most valuable asset in the modern economy, and how emerging technologies could help reshape Africa’s future for generations to come.
