That part really resonated with me too!
This video goes to show how you'd always be needed if you're valuable. Fola's experience took him everywhere...
"Increase your surface area so that it's easier for you to get lucky." Thank you Fola. Thank you Peace

I literally clapped at the end of the interview, he came prepared and delivered, it was really beautiful to watch, wow☺️

Awesome! So inspiring, I have never seen someone who has gone through a wide range of things like this searching for what he wants next. This is so real because sometimes one can be confused and not really know what one want next, the big lesson is keep moving. Thank you Fola and Peace for this episode.
