Happy #MotivationalMonday!
I love today’s guest: Tayo Rockson. Seriously this guys energy and passion is so contagious, that after this you are going to want to say “Screw limits and ceilings! I am going to break barriers and make a difference in the world!”
Tayo’s goal in life is “to inspire the next step of global leaders by inspiring them to use their difference to make a difference”
He grew up in five different countries on four different continents so he considers himself a citizen of the world. He has lived in Sweden, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Vietnam and the United States and his goal is to ultimately leave the world a better place than it was before he came into it, which he is totally succeeding at! He talks all about how he “uses his difference to make a difference” and where this tagline came from!
Tayo is the founding editor of BrandEdU and the CEO of UYD Media. Both companies are committed to helping millennials pursue their passions in careers they love while making a difference. His work has been seen on the Huffington Post, Among Worlds Magazine as well as Global Living Magazine. He is an authority on Third Culture Kids and assimilation into new cultures. He is the author of The Ultimate Guide To TCK Living and through his podcast and blog, he is heard and read by thousands of people in over 100 countries.
During the interview Tayo discusses:
– How he re-defined himself as an expert (And how you can too!)
– How he found his purpose and overcame obstacles and adversity to make it a reality
– And what his life has looked like since finding his authentic voice and passion
“be brave enough to be yourself in today’s world” – Tayo Rockson
