I had goosebumps listening to Ayo Owodunni as he told me the story of Election Day…Gosh.
Yes, it was an experiment. Yes, he didn’t expect to win. Yes, they had no idea what they were doing.
But listening to his backstory, this win was years in the making.
He joined me on The Newcomers Podcast to chat about:
Overcoming his fear of knocking on doors
The power of systems
The value of building immigrant communities
Stamping out the suffering Olympics mentality of older immigrants
The four types of networks you need to succeed as an immigrant, and more.
Ayo Owodunni is an inspiration. Nuff said.
Resources
His book on Inclusive Leadership - The Immigrant View is a great read on helping immigrants thrive in any organization.
You can follow him on LinkedIn here.
He also has a new book coming out soon titled “Dear Immigrant, Soar!”
Enjoy!
