In today’s episode, I speak with Chine and Chuba Ezekwesili. Also known as the Ezeks Twins, Chine and Chuba are interdisciplinary designers, artists, and founders of Akanka, a design studio on a mission to create Heaven on Earth. Akanka achieves this mission by partnering with other visionaries to design and build ventures and movements. These include Future Africa, Stand to End Rape, #FixPolitics, and the School of Politics, Policy, and Governance (SPPG). At Akanka, they have worked with global brands that include Google, The World Economic Forum, Yale University, Duke University, Nexford University, GIZ, and Open Society Foundation. 

We dive into how to apply the Ezeks Twins’ nature-inspired Framework of Intention in 3 steps: slowing down to be present and get clarity, giving gratitude for what’s in front of you, and taking responsibility so you can make use of life’s lessons and blessings.
