This episode is Part 1 of my conversation with Olayemi, a Nigerian podcaster and the host of HafrikTV with a deep understanding of communication, culture, and the struggles of being a foreigner. We get into the challenges of connecting with people in a meaningful way, how foreigners often fail to support each other, and the brutal realities of making it as a creator in China.

At 08:53, I ask Ola if he's ever taken something from podcasting into his real life. His answer made me reflect on my own journey-so much of what I've learned through content creation has shaped how I approach relationships, business, and even personal growth. But can an English-language podcast even survive in China? At 09:28, we tackle this question head-on. It's something I've struggled with myself, trying to reach the right audience in a place where the demand for English content is uncertain.This conversation isn't just about podcasting-it's about connection, perseverance, and the realities of being a migrant in a fast-moving world. If you've ever felt like an outsider, struggled to find your community, or wondered why support is so hard to come by, this episode is for you. Part 2 is coming soon, so make sure you're subscribed.
