Dear One World Friends,
Technology is the great equalizer—but only for those who master it. On my recent travels through Kenya and Nigeria, I saw firsthand that while the “Industrial Arts” (measured by GDP) may still be developing, these nations are world leaders in the “Human Arts.” The hospitality, resilience, and community pride I witnessed are the true engines of progress.
The economic gap is stark: while the US GDP per capita nears $84,500, Kenya sits at $2,132 and Nigeria at $1,084. Radical Abundance feels different when you start from $1,000, but I am convinced that Sustainable Super Abundance is achievable by 2050.
Here is why:
- Unmatched Spirit: In both nations, I saw communities working tirelessly to bridge the gap and advance themselves from the ground up.
- A Hunger for Learning: In my 12 years with One World, I’ve rarely seen parents so willing to sacrifice everything for their children’s education. I watched hundreds of students walking seven miles to school at 5:30 AM in the dark—their commitment is undeniable.
- Technology as the Equalizer: Kenya is rapidly becoming a global tech hub. I recently met our newest hubLABS member who works as a virtual assistant for a business owner in Arizona; it’s a perfect example of borderless value creation.
- The Untapped Potential: To see the gap, look at the numbers. Nvidia is worth approximately $5 trillion, while the total GDP for all 54 nations of Africa is just over $3 trillion. This highlights the immense growth potential if we use technology to leapfrog legacy industrial hurdles.
Regards,
Joe
