ποΈ In this deeply insightful episode, we sit down with Dr. Muhammad Umar Boodoo, an Associate Professor at the prestigious Warwick Business School. From his childhood in Mauritius to the academic halls of Canada and the UK, Dr. Umar shares his candid and non-linear journey, including why he failed his first PhD and how that "failure" set him on a path of greater purpose. He unpacks his groundbreaking research on corporate philanthropy, revealing the uncomfortable truths about where the money really goes.
