The 124th installment of Created For More, The Podcast is another amazing rerun episode with Dr Sam Ekundayo. It was such a delight to host the phenomenal Dr Sam Ekundayo.  Dr Sam is a Senior Lecturer, an Author, a Life Coach, a Preacher and a Transformational Speaker who is based in Auckland, New Zealand.
