I hope you all had a good reading week/half-term. Today we touch on the importance of interacting with your peers at uni and how to find the right group of people. Support is a big thing at university and there's no better way than getting it from people in the same situation. This episode gives you insight into everything there needs to be known about building your friendship group at uni to better yourself and others around you.

Today's topic is all about being a Successful Young Entrepreneur and there's no better way of touching on this topic than interviewing a guest who fits the bill. Our first ever guest on our podcast is Samuel Okusaga. Sam is a successful Entrepreneur, Public Speaker and recent Graduate.  His company Worth of Mouth is an impactful media platform that provides inspirational content for young people. Most recently, Sam was a speaker at a Ted Talk where he spoke on the advantages of being disadvantaged. Tune in and hear all the misconceptions, rewards, disciplines and more that comes with being a Successful Young Entrepreneur.
