In this episode of The Starting Point Podcast, I share my journey from a corporate career to discovering my true passions. Reflecting on my upbringing in Zimbabwe and my move to England, I talk about feeling unfulfilled despite achieving societal milestones. I emphasise the importance of identifying your purpose and passion and turning them into profit.

I describe how I started a YouTube channel and coaching practice, driven by a feeling that there’s more to life than corporate success. I encourage listeners to begin their own journey of self-discovery, trust their abilities, and take small steps without comparing themselves to others.
