The Lion and the Ranger (Part 2) __Are you following tracks or creating new ones? Source: Strive Masiyiwa When I was in the US recently, I decided to drop in and visit one of our key partners, a company called Roku.

In the words of Ben-Gurion 'Seminar' -  ''we have to undertake difficult work to uproot from the hearts of men who are close to the matter the belief that they have something.
