Movement Makers Podcast With Nikki Groom

Today, we’re talking about how to use your personal setbacks as fuel for your entrepreneurial endeavors. Dr. Masachs Boungou is the author of The Power of Personal History: Turning One’s Life Tragedies Into Triumph, in which he shares his moving story of escaping civil war in the Republic of the Congo, going on to become a Fulbright Scholar at Brandeis University, and recently receiving his Ph.D. in Global Studies from the University of Massachusetts, Lowell. Masachs has gone through personal tragedies, set-backs, and hard-won triumphs. He has come out the other side determined to create a better future for himself and inspire others to do the same. This interview is a reminder to view your history as more than just your past, but instead a way to propel you forward and create the future you desire.
