Builders of the Broken Bazaar

Builders of the Broken BazaarWhen systems collapse, people still build. In a world obsessed with billion-dollar startups and tech-driven progress, Builders of the Broken Bazaar turns the microphone towards those who build from the ashes — refugees, migrants, and everyday innovators creating meaning, work, and dignity in the ruins of broken systems.Hosted by Dr. Tabish Zaman, this series dives deep into the informal, the invisible, and the overlooked where entrepreneurship isn’t a choice, but a lifeline. From camps and conflict zones to Britain’s forgotten high streets, we uncover the moral and human frontlines of enterprise: where survival fuels innovation and community becomes the last safety net.Through unflinching conversations with founders, reformers, and thinkers, we challenge the economisation of human effort — moving far beyond Silicon Valley myths to reframe entrepreneurship around social

    Some People Measured. Others Are Filtered

    Episode 25: Some people are measured, others are filtered!Description: We treat the global digital economy as a level playing field, yet geography still dictates who is allowed to participate. What happens when world-class talent is trapped behind concrete walls and arbitrary blockades?In this episode of Builders of the Broken Bazaar, Dr. Tabish Zaman is joined by Kathrine Tinggaard Nicolaisen, the founder of Olives & Heather, a Palestinian marketing agency connecting local talent to global impact businesses. Kathrine challenges the standard "charity" narrative, arguing that Palestinians don't need more pity-based training—they need the same access to clients and trust as any other founder in the West.Together, they discuss the reality of leading a team where personal lives are defined by war and checkpoints, why professional rigor is a vital form of resistance, and how digital work has become the ultimate bridge into a world that often tries to filter Palestinians out.This is a conversation about work as dignity and building infrastructure that refuses to accept exclusion as inevitable. Because in a broken bazaar, some people are indeed measured, while others are simply filtered out—it’s time to change who gets to do the measuring.🎙 “Solidarity opens doors, but it doesn't close deals. At the end of the day, work must be measured by excellence, not just sympathy.”👉 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@buildersofthebrokenbazaar Host: Dr. Tabish Zaman Guest: Kathrine Tinggaard Nicolaisen (Founder, Olives & Heather) Editor: Liam Gadsby.
