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.
