when life lacks in coins, make a pivot and sprint forward 👟

Oluwaseun Akinlembola joins your business Mom (Anna Bullock) for a calm, reflective conversation around remote work, taking chances, and life outside the laptop screen. We get great advice from his mom, inspiration from a previous podcast guest (S1 E2 heyyyy Tami), and a lot of laughs. This episode is for anyone searching for their next chapter or reflecting on the many thus far.
