In this episode of The Intentional Leadership Podcast, Mike Rice, co-founder and managing partner of the Momba Group, discusses how his 25-year career in IT staffing took a profound turn after a mission trip to Kenya. Rice details the "accidental" founding of his company and how he integrated a faith-driven mission that sponsors a child's education, health care, and nutrition for every professional placement made. The conversation explores the shifting landscape of leadership in a post-COVID world, the practical uses and challenges of AI in recruiting, and the long-term vision of creating sustainable technology jobs in Kenya to combat poverty. Discover how a single commitment to "saying yes" can transform a traditional business model into a powerful engine for global generational change.
