나 같은 친구| The One with Yvonne Edo-Olotu - The Beautiful Mind: Episode 39 (2018)

Here’s re-introducing, Yvonne Edo-Olotu. She is a lawyer during the day and a content creator at night/weekends. She is the brains behind the Beautiful Mind Podcast; you can find that show on iTunes/SoundCloud/Stitcher. We met when I worked in Ibadan (a Southwestern city in Nigeria) several years ago. She got her LL.M at Cornell University and recently returned to Nigeria. In this episode, we took a drive to memory lane to explore our differing personalities and how this defines our friendship; our love-hate relationship with Korean dramas and favorite shows; and why we, as women, need fewer mentors and other kinds of key players to advance our careers and grow personally and professionally. We also talked about adjustments she had to make when she moved back from the US and how she builds social support in a city as boisterous and crazy as Lagos! Tips from Mo!: Never trust a person who kisses with their eyes open. About our friendship: She is introvertish and I try to be sometimes (haha). We bonded initially over the song - 99 Red balloons by Nena. She is an avid reader as well. She is a podcaster too; check out Yvonne’s podcast: https://soundcloud.com/beautifulmindpodcast Recommended song: “Free Fallin’” – John Mayer (Matoma & Nelsaan Tropical Mojito Remix) (2014) Best, 모 /Mo!/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mosibyl/support
