25 minutes

Duro Oye is an activist, filmmaker, and entrepreneur from London, United Kingdom. Over a decade ago Duro walked away from his life on the streets to start everything from scratch . Now, as the co-founder and COO of the 2020 Change Foundation, Duro works with disadvantaged young men and women to help them leave the streets and shape them in becoming tomorrow’s community, business, and political leaders.

In this episode Duro and I talked about:

factors that push young people to join gangs;

the importance of a strong mindset;

transferable skills that street smart youth possess and how to hone these;

setting up a Community Interest Company;

developing a business plan; and

the difference between success and happiness.
