When did you find out about Harvard University? If you're like many of us, you found out in High School. However, our episode's guest only found out after posting excellent results in his K.C.S.E (final exam in Kenyan High Schools). Our guest, Ed Magema, is the author of 'How to get into Harvard: 3 simple steps', a book that explains how he emerged amongst the top students in the country from a little known and under-resourced Secondary school. He is also the ambitious co-founder of Univus, a platform connecting student communities across universities globally, in real time.
Because he had struggled with Mathematics since primary school, he chose a degree in Mathematics to challenge himself and when done, travelled back to Kenya to help build Africa! Before then, how was the shift from being a Kenyan A-student to standing out in a sea of white people? How did he adapt to the culture shock amidst a competitive academic environment? What lessons can we learn from his work and business ventures? Press play to find out!
