There's nothing wrong with being ambitious. Our goals give us something to work toward, they give us vision, focus and drive. But what happens when the thing that is meant to build us up; our beacon of destiny; ends up destroying us instead? How does that even happen?

On today's episode we learn to identify goals that are productive, versus those which are destructive.

Today, I talk with Tosin, a Software Developer who is doing very well for himself; but he didn't start off that way.

From Hawking on the streets of Ibadan at age 11, to living under a bridge in Lagos, Tosin's story is a tale of determination, goodwill, and a passion to succeed, whatever it takes. Today, Tosin is a husband and father, applying his skills and getting paid by multi-national companies, doing what he loves, but most importantly what he fought for.

I was so excited about my chat with Tosin, I forgot to record the first few minutes of our interview, but what we did capture was awe-inspiring.

I hope you listen to the full episode and glean something from his story.

Enjoy.
