Quote - “Think of all unfortunate experiences as learning experiences.”


The Afropolitan Podcast spotlights Afropolitans who aren’t afraid to
step into the unknown and walk in purpose. With this podcast we hope
to empower Africans in the Diaspora to harness their full potential
and contribute to the development of a bold and progressive black
community.


Our guests will share their working formulas, the hard facts about
leaving familiar terrain, embracing the unknown, and staying relevant
afterwards.


This episode features Zeneca, Founder/CEO of ZenAcademy; who was a

professional poker player for 15 years and has transitioned to being a
well respected NFT influencer. He created ZenAcademy to build a
community and space to educate and help others understand the crypto
and NFT space.

Listen and enjoy as Zeneca talks to us about burnout in the tech
ecosystem and offers advice on trading crypto and NFTs.
