At the start of the new week, precisely 16th August, I had the privilege to be in a fireside chat with the intelligent minds of the Startup Grind community in Jos, Plateau State discussing how to be Fearless and Passionate in the Pursuit of Your Dreams using my story and experiences.  Fear has been one major reason why so many dreams don't see the light of day . Most people only live these dreams in their heads with wild imaginations of a fanciful world.

I have had the privilege of traveling light and travelling heavy from one state to the other and both had significant consequences. When you travel heavy, you become so concerned about your luggages. At every stop, you want to ensure none is missing or mistakenly taken by another passenger.
