"In 100 years, you, me, everybody listening to this episode of this podcast will be dead. Gone. In 100 years, we will all be gone. Nothing will matter. It puts into perspective some of the things that we take as very big problems or big challenges or big embarrassments. In 100 years, none of these will matter. None of the people concerned will matter. We will all be dead. Dust to dust, ashes to ashes." - John Obidi, Director of Growth, The ABiT Network, & Founder, Headstart Africa.

Right from when John was a kid, he has always been drawn to computers. In fact, when he was 8/9 years old, he "accidentally" learned a programming language. From studying Computer Science at Benson Idahosa University, John has evolved and worn many hats, moving from programming into digital marketing, community building, and more recently, cryptocurrency. But what was the journey like for John?

On this episode, the first of a two-part conversation, you will hear John talk about his journey into blockchain and how he made the decision to join The ABiT Network. He will talk about his early childhood experiences, growing up in a lower middle class family, as well as the defining moments that shaped who he's become today.

John Obidi is the Director of Growth at The ABiT Network, a blockchain and cryptocurrency solutions company, as well as the Founder of Headstart Africa (formerly Smart Bcamp), a community dedicated to closing the knowledge gap among working professionals in Nigeria.
