This week on Legends & Spirits we’ll pay a visit to the great island nation of Japan where we’ll dive into legends & lore of the Yokai - from creepy critters to comforting creatures. We’ll also have special guests David Ovitsky and Shannon McGee  give us a true master class on Japanese whiskey.

In this week’s Macabre Mixology we’ll wash down our whiskey tasting with a zesty libation perfect for the summertime blues…and we don’t mean an evil Oni! In our Spooky Saloons we’ll head to the nation’s capital, Tokyo,  to visit a kitschy watering hole that leans in to the spooky stories surrounding the Yokai…

Welcome to Legends and Spirits!

They say that the difference between the US and Africa is that the US has competition while Africa has complexity. And a big reason for its complexity is a lack of infrastructure.

It compels many startups to build infrastructure, invest in other market-making activities and/or to diversify earlier in their journey to make their businesses work. How are startups across the continent building sustainable businesses in this environment?
