About the show
The full hour, not the highlight reel
Live Learn Inspire is a podcast made in Oslo. Since 2025 we’ve sat down with 30 people, from founders in Uganda to footballers, comedians and Afrobeats artists in Norway, and let them tell it properly. Where they started. What nearly stopped them. What they’d tell you now.
Live
Go after the thing. Move countries, switch careers, take the stage. The detours are part of it.
Learn
Every guest has paid for their lessons somewhere. We ask about the bad years as much as the good ones, because that’s where the useful part is.
Inspire
Not hype. Just someone who’s been where you are, showing it can be done, and how.
Founder and host
Albert Emmanuel
Albert is an Oslo-based entrepreneur and the founder and host of Live Learn Inspire. He started the show to give people with real stories the time to tell them, especially voices from East Africa and the African diaspora in the Nordics that rarely get a long-form platform.
Since early 2026 he’s been joined in the studio by co-host Serge Balole Gamwanya, who first came on as a guest to talk about chasing football from Norway to US college sport.
Albert also runs AKEMO Group AS, the Norwegian company that operates Live Learn Inspire.
