Africa’s Creative Economy Set To Explode - DERRICK ABAITEY | TIMELESS with Teddy

In this episode of TIMELESS with Teddy Abrokwa, entrepreneur, podcast host and founder of Konnected House and Triibe.io, Derrick Abaitey, joins us for a reflective conversation on his journey, purpose, and vision for the future. We explore the rise of the Konnected Minds Podcast and how it became a platform for meaningful conversations, as well as Derrick’s personal come up — from early influences and family foundations to navigating entrepreneurship across different environments. The conversation also dives into the realities of building within the creative economy, the challenges faced by African creatives, and why infrastructure is the missing piece. Through his work with Triibe.io, Derrick shares his vision for creating systems that empower creatives to thrive sustainably on a global scale. This is a conversation about growth, intention, and building beyond yourself. If this resonates, share it with someone building something meaningful. TIMELESS — Stories. Legacy.
