Consult with Sola - Self-Worth Vs. Net-Worth
In this episode, Adesola and I talk about how as humans, it is in our nature to compare ourselves to others. Unfortunately, because we can only compare the things we can objectively measure, we live in a wondrous world of measuring and comparing externals. Somewhere along the way, we decided that we could determine who was living a more valuable life by comparing their clothes, cars, homes, and paychecks. Simply put, we tied self-worth to net-worth. As an unfortunate result, we began to judge our life value by the possessions that we own. But, in reality, our life is far more valuable than just the things that we own.

Bio:
Adesola Akindele is a 20-year international serial entrepreneur and novice angel investor who believes that entrepreneurship is the key to economic prosperity, especially for underestimated and under-represented economic groups. As an economist, she is never shy of looking ahead or at the bigger picture, examining key metrics that differentiate success and failure in business ownership and leadership.
Adesola is on a mission to help Black & African founders learn how to face their internal and external struggles to overcome the emotional plus socio-economic barriers that hinder economic success, equity, and ownership. Adesola is keen on Pan-African collaboration to foster an exchange of skills, ideas, and solutions. These collaborations are opportunities for startups and investors to learn first hand from mistakes, processes, and resolutions to better products and services that help communities RISE to any challenge and thrive in any environment.
