Send us a textEver met an individual who embodies the phrase "rising from adversity"? My guest, Kofi Douhadji, is that person. Kofi's journey from a small village in Togo, Africa, to becoming a serial entrepreneur, author, coach, United States Air Force officer, husband, and father is a powerful testament to the human spirit. In a world obsessed with materialistic success, Kofi’s story of finding inspiration in scarcity is a breath of fresh air. His unique perspective invites us all to view our challenges not as obstacles, but as stepping stones to greatness.Kofi's talent for storytelling is the golden thread running through his narrative. Whether it's turning lessons into stories or using storytelling as a coping mechanism, Kofi has harnessed the power of storytelling to overcome, transcend, and inspire. But storytelling isn’t just about captivating an audience; it’s about creating bonds, fostering shared humanity, and driving us towards our goals. In Kofi's words, the stories we tell ourselves have the potential to either hold us back or show us what is possible.But the real gem of our conversation is perhaps the concept of a ‘life constitution’. Kofi shares how Stephen Covey's 'Seven Habits of Highly Successful People' inspired his own 'Kofi constitution', which guides his life decisions. Diving deeper into this idea, we also explore the transformative power of meaningful conversations and the importance of a supportive community. Finally, we delve into Kofi’s venture, Flying Wings Publishing, a testament to the power of storytelling, meaningful conversations, and impactful connections.
