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.ย  ย 

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.

โ€œThe purpose of life is to be defeated by greater and greater things.โ€ Rainer Maria Rilke
