What if the only impact you had on the world was the work you leave behind; not your name, not fame, just simply the impact of what you chose to do?
Today I want to introduce you to William, William is one of those people you meet that from a distance could feel like you might not be cool enough to hang with; but oh man! Get within 5 feet of him and you will find a human bursting with creativity, joy in the form of one who can give and take a joke, and warmth that is felt when you step into his presence
William is one that finds joy in supporting and showing up for his friends, one that quite literally is the life of the party, as possibly one of, if not the best DJ around, and one that is able to be present in a comfortable silence
We chat about what life and his projects look like, from DJ’ing events, to the impact his watch brand is having on children in Africa
He shares how he used to struggle with acceptance and wanting to fit in, but now being able to let his best qualities out, without needing any of them to stand on their own, define, or externally validate who he is
We chat about not just what his Ted talk “would be” but what it actually was about and how finding purpose in the pain we experience may be a way we can change the world
William is not just one that I could talk to, laugh with, or dance to his music for hours, but he is one that I have seen first hand the way he is present with those around him, how he will show up and make the effort to show love, and one that I really am honored to call a friend
So tune in today and meet William, Dr. William Adoasi a man reminding us all to be proud of our continued existence, to still dream, to not let your heart betray the joy and purpose that this life can hold
And to you William thank you, thank you for sharing your time, your sarcasm, your wisdom and your journey in such a way as to allow me to not only know you more, but for granting me the honor of sharing a bit of that journey with others. You are one who is intentionally leaving humanity better than you found it and this world is a better place with you in it.
Follow along with William
HERE What is Your Fellow Human?
These interview style episodes are all about the way we as people view life, the things we love and the things that cause us pain, the way we think, hope, and fear.
We each hold a unique place in this world, complete with our own dreams, culture, and perspective. It is the individual stories of those I meet along my journey that shape the way I see the world.
I’m excited to share these stories with you and hope they allow you to fall in love with humanity as they have for me.
