Summary
I am always interested in *why* we do things, and equally in the excuses that we make when we are *not* pursuing our most intentional life.
I am deeply inspired when I learn of people who accomplish big goals in SPITE of the circumstances they face. They inspire me to live a fuller life.
Ntsiki Biyela grew up in a rural village in South Africa. Her story is one of beating all odds and creating a business from her passion.
Listen in on what inspires her to pursue a life of curiosity, pleasure and accomplishment.
