Nathan isn't just building drones — he's reframing the entire geopolitical future of the continent through Sovereign Intelligence.From surviving a near-death experience at 15 to building a multi-million dollar defense prime, Nathan breaks down why Africa must stop relying on foreign intelligence handouts, why the smartest minds are "wasting their time" on SaaS, and how first-principles thinking is the only way to spark a true African Industrial Revolution.TIMESTAMPS:SPONSORS:Vban - Made for Remote Work.
