AMAZING STORY OF BELIEF: Ousmane Ndoye: A Man Born To Keep It Real Todays guest is a man with a fascinating tale, of hardship, persecution, and a burning desire to create the best life he could hope for. Raised in a small fishing village in Senegal, West Africa, as a child he endured abuse, profound humiliation and the breakup of his parents at the tender age of two This is of course is not what any child hopes for, and he found it particularly hard to accept as he looked around at his friends who all seemed to have the family life that he would have wanted. Then later at age five he was taken to live in a compound of more than 100 people, living in extreme close proximity to each other. It was here where he quickly learned to defend himself, and to develop the inner power that he needed to flourish in this unstable environment, where so many people fought for survival on a daily basis. It was a hard, brutal start to his life, but one that he wouldn't allow to determine his future. He knew that he wanted a life in America, and so at the age of 21, with just a few belongs and a gallon of water, he left Senegal, and amazingly managed to walk across the Sahara desert by foot between Algeria and Libya in six arduous days. He had his dream and he wouldn't give up on it. Well he did it, and even now many years after setting foot on the continent he is pushing himself to greater and greater achievements. He is the author of "No Excuses, how to pursue a better life and lift others for a better world", and his "Mile High Momentum" training platform, he is about as far away from his beginning as it possible. But what was it about the American dream that filled him with such hope from his life in Africa? And when he started that walk across the desert did he truly believe that he would be where he is today? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, the one and only Mr Ousmane Ndoye

Thomas Frank: The College Info Geek Today's guest joining us on the Join Up Dots podcast is Mr Thomas Franks, the owner of the College Info Geek, where he puts a totally different spin on going through the college life. As he says to the students of the world "You know that just going to class, getting good grades, and graduating with a degree isn't good enough any-more. You know that being successful in college takes a bit more work. You've got the drive and the ambition. So where do you go from here?" Which is a fascinating point of view, which is very different from most peoples education experience I would imagine, whereby they base this part of their life as a self contained period. Get through college, get the grades, and then set about kicking ass in the real world. But success takes time, so what better way to hit the ground running than fine tuning and developing your hustle muscle before you need them. By doing things the right way whilst in College. As he says "This blog is dedicated to helping you build a remarkable college career, which in turn will lead into an amazing life. This is not your typical college blog. You won't find articles with 10 Tips to Win at Beer Pong or 6 Ways to Hack Your Laundry. That bite-size, regular, boring content has already been written hundreds of times on other blogs. I'm not interested in it. This blog is all about winning at college." And now he is certainly winning in his own life, and once simply a blog, this is now a lifestyle enthused by passion. So how did he break free from the college mentality that most people buy into, with parties, hangovers, and late nights crouched over the books? And does he look at what he has created as the whole package or just the starting point to what he can now achieve? Well let's find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, with the one and only Mr Thomas Franks.

BUSINESS INTERVIEW: Mining For Gold In Business Rana Vig is todays guest joining us on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots podcast interview. Rana is a seasoned entrepreneurial professional with five successful start-ups in different verticals and a diverse 35-year business career under his belt. Having transitioned to the capital markets in 2010, Rana took two companies public, and these were the biggest Canadian venture deals of 2018. Curaleaf raised $520 million and was a near billion reverse takeover (RTO). While Harvest Health and Recreation was yet another impressive billion RTO. But our guest wasnt just going to sit back and rest on his laurels. How The Dots Joined Up For Rana Instead he started digging into the trends and started searching for a new market, which for many was seemed as old hat. Gold and mining came to the fore and Rana also took Blue Lagoon Resources, the gold-focused company of which he is the current CEO and which had one of the top-performing stocks for 2019, public in the following year. Outside of business, Rana is a well-known philanthropist and in November 2017, the Canadian Senate invited him to receive the Senate 150th Anniversary Medal for those who make their communities a better place to live through generosity and dedication. So why do so many businesses fail in the first five years of creation in his view? And looking back over his years is it obvious why he has built success, or is it simply being in the right place at the right time? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Mr Rana Vig. Show Highlights During the show we discussed such weighty topics with Rana Vig such as: Why the biggest mistake all businesses make is being focused on creating income instead of looking for the biggest problem that they can solve. We reveal the truth behind the statement "Amateurs invent, whilst professionals steal" which can save you years of effort and expense. Rana shares his belief that most people spend more time trying to improve their weaknesses than simply focusing in on their strengths. and lastly…. How the most powerful computer the world has ever seen was built by something more powerful and underused.
