In the season 3 finale of , we share a special episode: Redefining Prosperity: placing culture and public value at the heart of growth. Host Christine Wilson speaks with Mariana Mazzucato, Professor in the Economics of Innovation and Public Value at University College London. Together, they discuss why we need a new way of thinking about economic growth, one that places creativity, culture and the common good at the heart of prosperity.

We also hear from Ojoma Ochai, Managing Director and CEO of CC Hub Group. She shares how Nigeria’s creative economy has become a powerful source of opportunity, identity and global influence, and why creativity and digital transformation are increasingly inseparable.

The episode explores:
✨ how culture should be seen as essential public infrastructure
✨ how culture can drive both social and economic innovation, strengthening communities (not just the top 1% earners)
✨ the role of governments in shaping innovation
✨ how new measures of success could help build more sustainable, inclusive economies.
