Dr. Bayo Akomolafe was one of the speakers at The House of Beautiful Business Conference last year and the wisdom he shared cracked open my mind and my heart.
To my absolute delight, Bayo agreed to have a conversation with me on my podcast and talk about business and marketing.
We discussed trust and the gift mentality, reaching out to people, having a big vision (or perhaps a vision having you), imagination, failing generously, and play.
He also talked about being in awe, to stand in awe of the things that exceed us. And he mentioned this quote.
“The purpose of life is to be defeated by greater and greater things.” Rainer Maria Rilke
