When Jason Lee stepped into a public space in the heart of Cape Town’s Philippi township, he realized it was an unconventional summit.

To many, Cape Town, the host of the 2018 MBA World Summit, evokes images of a tourist mecca, known for picturesque mountains and animated nightlife that draw ten million visitors each year. The spotlight at the Summit, however, was on the heart of the city beneath its blissful veneer.
