In this special 50th episode of FAIR Talks, we sit down with Anthony “Ants” Watt, CEO of Joyya, for a powerful conversation on rethinking poverty, impact, and what it truly takes to create lasting change. Moving beyond traditional ideas of employment as a solution, Joyya’s model highlights the importance of relationships, community, and long-term investment in people’s lives. From education and healthcare to holistic support systems, this episode explores how addressing the deeper, relational roots of poverty can open the door to sustainable transformation. It’s an honest and inspiring conversation about dignity, resilience, and the kind of impact that extends far beyond a single job.
