What makes a person truly great?
Is it fame? Power? Position? Or something deeper?
In this special episode of the Fountain of Ideas Podcast, I share the full recorded audio of a message delivered to over 2,000 students at PRESEC Legon, titled “The Source of Greatness.”
This message challenges the popular definitions of greatness and takes listeners on a journey to discover that greatness is not something we chase, it is something placed within us. Using relatable examples, storytelling, and timeless truths, the message explores:
Why greatness is not defined by fame, power, or position
The difference between being famous and being significant
Why greatness is tied to impact and action
The idea that no one understands a product better than its manufacturer
Why the source of greatness matters more than the resources we seek
This episode is especially for young people searching for meaning, direction, and confidence in who they are becoming.
If you have ever asked yourself, “Do I really have what it takes?” - this message is for you.
🎧 Listen with an open heart.
Because greatness didn’t start with you, it was placed inside you.
Democracy is a word we hear every now and then, especially in political conversations, but do we truly understand its meaning, its origins, and its purpose? In this episode of The Fountain of Ideas Podcast, we journey from ancient Athens to modern day, exploring how democracy was born, how it evolved, and what it was always meant to be. We unpack misconceptions, examine today’s democratic tensions, and rediscover the heart of a system built on people, power, participation, and responsibility.
If you’ve ever wondered what democracy really means beyond voting, slogans, and politics, this episode will give you clarity, context, and a deeper appreciation of the system that shapes our everyday lives.
Language is more than words—it is identity, thought, culture and power. In this episode, we explore where language began, how it shapes the way we think, and why it evolves with time and experience. From mother tongue to the rise of new generational expressions, we unpack how language influences who we become as individuals and as a society.
