S2: EP4: Raising Passionate Teenagers into Fulfilled Experts No Matter Who Your Parents Are!

Today’s episode I have the pleasure of interviewing Joshua Oshowo, Africa's No 1 Business Automation Consultant and founder of Smart Teens Global. The first global teenage automated platform that gives them access to Career Assessment, Trainers, Mentors and Summer jobs or internships all in one place.

Joshua’s passion to help teenagers started after a sad experience of poor career guidance back in secondary school. Also, being a victim of low self-esteem and bullying back in his teens.

As a result, he went on a quest and made a commitment to contribute his quota in stopping the poor trend of poor career choices, assessment and management of teens. He went on to launch various teenage initiatives to support and empower teenagers. SMART TEENS GLOBAL being his latest initiative.
