   143 Episodes Later: The Journey, Lessons & Evolution of IPSERIES With RAC

   What does it take to build a niche intellectual property platform from a single idea into a respected voice in the creative, business, and innovation ecosystem? In Episode 143 of IPSERIES with RAC, I step from behind the interviewer’s chair and into the spotlight to share the story behind the platform, the purpose that inspired it, and the lessons learned over 143 episodes of consistent conversations about intellectual property and the industries it shapes. This is a personal reflection on the journey of building IPSERIES, from its beginnings as a podcast focused on intellectual property awareness to its evolution into a growing media, education, and thought leadership platform exploring the intersections of IP, business, creativity, culture, entertainment, technology, and innovation. In this episode, I discuss: The inspiration behind launching IPSERIES My evolution as an intellectual property lawyer, educator, podcaster, and thought leader Creating meaningful IP conversations for African professionals, creators, entrepreneurs, and the global African diaspora The realities of building authority and consistency in a highly specialized field How IPSERIES has grown beyond a podcast into a broader platform for knowledge sharing, advocacy, and industry engagement The relationship between intellectual property, creativity, culture, business, and innovation The challenges, milestones, opportunities, and unexpected lessons encountered along the way My vision for the future of IPSERIES and the impact I hope it will continue to create. One hundred and forty-three episodes later, the most important lesson remains clear: meaningful influence is not built overnight. It is developed through consistent learning, meaningful conversations, and a commitment to showing up, episode after episode. This is the story behind the microphone. This is the journey behind the platform. And this is only the beginning.

   Who Gets Paid When the Cameras Stop Rolling? Backend Royalties, African Film Finance & the Streaming Reckoning

   What happens to African creative workers after the contract is signed and the camera stops rolling? In Episode 142, filmmaker Mr Takunda joins IP Series for an unflinching conversation about who really owns African film and who profits from it. From buy-out clauses that strip writers and directors of long-term earnings, to the collapse of major streaming platforms and what that means for content catalogues, this episode covers the conversations the industry avoids having in public. Topics include: why African licensing deals are rarely revenue-sharing; what rights filmmakers surrender to streamers and investors; whether African actors will ever see Hollywood-style residuals; the Showmax restructuring and its IP implications; and what a fairer system for African creatives would actually require. If you create, invest in, or care about African storytelling, this episode is a must listen. Subscribe to IPSERIES for conversations at the intersection of intellectual property and the real world.
