HOW I: Am Thinking About the Future, by Fu'ad Lawal

Fu’ad is the author of Vistanium, a Substack-developed publication where he tells meaningful stories on the Nigerian experience that deserve documentation.

An expert storyteller with decades of experience working for companies in the media and tech scene, in this episode of HOW I, Fu'ad shares why he decided to leave the 9-5 life behind to tell stories, and how he is thinking about the future, through his current projects.

The work Fu'ad is doing is absolutely important. Thank you.

I love listening to Fu'ad speak. He has a lot of stories within him from travelling across Nigeria and West Africa that it makes sense for him to want to share them through these formats.
I've found myself thinking of how to do work that truly matters in decades and not months and I'm glad I could watch Fu'ad and be reminded of the things he wrote in his "Man in the Ring" article.
I'm rooting for you, Chief and I'm inspired by the work you are doing.

This just goes to show how sweet it is to build and solve problems in fields that you're fascinated about.
And also the reality of building stuff... not all those you become a billionaire once you quit your job and build your own thing.
