My name is Victor Sosanya. My aim is to help you become more valuable. This is a journey I started a few years ago by working on my self-development. I desired to earn more so I had to make a drastic change internally. As Jim Rohn said, "If you work hard on your job you'll make a living, if you work hard on yourself you'll make a fortune". So how do you become more valuable? By working on your philosophy, character, attitudes, skills, communication and much more.I've been fortunate to connect with many highly valued individuals from a range of different industries. Their stories and teachings were so profound that I wanted to share them with you all. This is why I created The Valuable Podcast where I'll be sitting down with these guests delving deeper into their stories and how they became valuable. I will be talking to students, professionals, entrepreneurs, athletes, creatives, and many more insightful people. I hope that by listening to these conversations you can extract value and practically apply the information to help you on your journey. The diversity of these guests means that they’ll offer a range of perspectives to provide you with value in different areas.You can listen on all major platforms including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcast and Amazon Podcast.For exclusive content, join the weekly newsletter: www.valuablepodcast.comInstagram: @valuablepodcast TikTok: @valuablepodcast Twitter: @thevaluablepodYouTube: @valuablepodcast
