#021 - From New York to Africa: Leaving Corporate Life Behind with Weh’yee Barkon

In this episode of the Inflection Podcast, I chat with Weh’yee Barkon, Co-Founder of Feed Africa and Principal Consultant with Shortlist Professionals.

Weh’yee chats with us during his stay in Africa. He shares his background in startups and how he ended up working with a Brooklyn-based electronic recycler. He discusses his move from New York to California and the decision to pack up and go to Africa to make investments and build businesses.

Weh’yee also delves into the challenges people face when it comes to purpose. He notes that some people are too rigid and materialistic in their planning, while others lack direction and are too loose in their lives. He argues that the middle ground lies in having an overarching purpose or goal, while also being willing to make adjustments along the way.

Join us as we delve into Weh’yee's fascinating story and the adventures he has experienced along the way.
