I got to know Ola Joseph at the 35^th anniversary of Sweetwater Valley Toastmasters where Ola started his Toastmasters Journey.  He was kind enough to keynote the event and gave an inspirational message that resonated with everyone.  From a poor fishing village in Africa, Ola developed mastery of five languages to become a professional public speaker.  Today he joins me on the Rick Lakin Podcast to talk about his Toastmasters journey and his newest book called
