The Conversation: In this episode, Nigerian podcaster, creative, and engineering student Huwa Okoyomoh shares her inspiring story with Ken about she used creativity as strategy to powerfully to create a new reality within her limits.
Here’s what Huwa shared in his conversation with Ken:
- Her childhood in Nigeria- -without stable electricity and limited wifi that you must pay for
- How she learned to turn her experience with heavy competition (Being one of 5,000+ students applying for one job) into a journey of discovery
- Breaking through the belief that is there only one chance of success
- Her struggles with podcasting
- The “bad rep” that Nigerians have and the impact these stereotypes have on people like Huwa
- What inspires Huwa to continue her creative work despite all of the obstacles
- The basic foundations that Huwa uses to keep her grounded, laughing, and inspired
Memorable Quote: “When you grow up in a system where everything is limited, you are able to fail better than anywhere else.”
The Homework: Take some time today to do these three simple things:
- Imagine that you had only hour to use the Internet. List what sites you would visit.
- Now imagine that you only had only one hour with electricity. Name the first three things you would do.
- Now that you’ve completed #1 and #2, identify one thing in your life that is a distraction to your most important goals and reduce or eliminate it today.
