A boy who once woke up in his own sweat during blackouts grew up to build the machine ending them. In this episode we sit down with Johannes Amo Aye, founder of Minaji Energy, to talk about the Fusion Wind Turbine: a gearless, oil free hybrid system combining wind and solar in one unit, built to run 20 to 25 years with almost no maintenance. He shares the story of a night when midwives delivered a baby using two phone torches, why 90% of the system is manufactured in Ghana, and what it means to build Africa's energy future with African engineers.

AI is making cyberattacks faster, cheaper, and more accessible by allowing attackers to automate tasks such as reconnaissance, vulnerability discovery, infrastructure mapping, and attack planning. In a recent Lexicon interview, Redsift CEO Rahul Pavar explains how AI is shifting cybersecurity from human speed toward machine speed, why critical infrastructure such as water utilities could become softer targets, and why organizations need to focus on fundamentals like MFA, continuous asset discovery, attack surface management, and faster threat detection. He also expects the next 6 to 18 months to bring a surge in vulnerabilities as AI uncovers weaknesses that may have existed for years but were previously too difficult to find.
