What is Your Life Blueprint?
After a long pause, the iamtheCODE Podcast is back with Season 9, hosted by the inspiring Lady Marieme Jamme. This season, we’re diving deep into the theme: What is your life blueprint? Inspired by Martin Luther King Jr.’s powerful speech, we’re exploring the values, dreams, and determination it takes to craft a life of meaning and purpose.
Through heartfelt conversations with extraordinary guests, we’ll uncover stories of resilience, self-discovery, and the courage to dream big—even in the face of adversity. Lady Marieme Jamme shares her unique perspective and invites listeners to reflect on how they can build their own blueprint, one step at a time.
Each episode is a call to action, a reminder that you can design a life of impact and transformation no matter your background or circumstances.
Join us on this journey of inspiration and hope. Let’s rebuild, reconnect, and rediscover the strength within to create a better future. Your blueprint starts here.

Who is Fixing the World?
Who is Fixing the World is our theme for season 8.
We have met extraordinary people with ideas, empathy, kindness, passion and determination to improve other people’s lives. So many things are happening in our world, and beneath our current problems, one must ask if we are making a collective impact. Are we working together? We should be able to look deeper into our actions and do better for our world. The ideas and attitudes we need to fix the world are already here. Unsung heroes are doing lots of things. Join us to discover the incredible people who are improving the lives of young women and girls and our world in silence.

Decoding the United Nations Global Goals or Sustainable Development Goals
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. A collection of 17 global goals will be decoded by world leaders and young people all across the world. The SDGs were designed for countries, but they are useful for businesses as frameworks when developing their own sustainability targets.
