Sunny Akhigbe is a motivational speaker, coach, model, single father of two kids, and the founder of A Boy And His Dream, a non-profit organization that creates programs aimed to bring about transformation in the youth of today (AKA the future leaders of tomorrow). We are blown away by the inspiring work that Sunny and others on his team are doing and we knew we had to bring it to you. This is what we need more of in the world.

We chat about…

• Growing up through adversity in Nigeria
• Having a heart for solving problems
• What allowed Sunny to grow through his experiences and seek change
• Sunny’s incredible story of moving to America, experiencing divorce, and being homeless
• Feeling guided by a higher source
• Learning to enjoy whatever phase of life you’re in in order to move forward
• Starting A Boy And His Dream
• The disconnect between Nigeria and the United States
• Changing your behavior
