From a Wretched SCAM to an American Hero
This is not your usual rags to riches story.
In fact,
It almost looks like the exact opposite!
Born into obscene Nigerian wealth in the 80s...
Remi Adeleke bathed in gold and had an array of housemaids fetch his shoes for him.
But this funfair would only last for the first 5 years of his life…
➺ Tragedy struck,
➺ A corruption scandal erupted,
➺ And Remi’s father lost everything—including his life.
Now impoverished, his mother immediately moves the family to New York.
Nothing like a fresh start in a new country to offer a glimmer of hope, right?
But it is at this point that Remi descends into 50 shades of HELL!
It is also at this point that Remi has to muster every ounce of resilience to survive the curveballs life was gonna throw at him:
➺ Drive-by shooting
➺ Gangsters
➺ Phone scams
➺ Drug dealers
Now you would think this is just that short-lived teenage rebellion phase that ends one day in a ‘come-to-Jesus’ moment…
Followed by a bouquet of roses and sunshine.
But there's more HELL to come as he joins the US Navy SEALs.
Now,
How he went from this hopeless cycle…
To become a renowned film-maker and business consultant is beyond me!
That's why I had to hunt him down while he was vacationing so he could unveil these gems to us…
Now, we can find out how mindfulness was instrumental in this resilient journey of his.
But enough said!
In what I would describe as one of the most inspiring times on our podcast so far...
Here are the details of our conversation!
Until next time,
Train hard, breathe easy.
Jon Macaskill
Navy SEAL Commander (Ret.)
