AMAZING STORY OF BELIEF: Ousmane Ndoye: A Man Born To Keep It Real Todays guest is a man with a fascinating tale, of hardship, persecution, and a burning desire to create the best life he could hope for. Raised in a small fishing village in Senegal, West Africa, as a child he endured abuse, profound humiliation and the breakup of his parents at the tender age of two This is of course is not what any child hopes for, and he found it particularly hard to accept as he looked around at his friends who all seemed to have the family life that he would have wanted. Then later at age five he was taken to live in a compound of more than 100 people, living in extreme close proximity to each other. It was here where he quickly learned to defend himself, and to develop the inner power that he needed to flourish in this unstable environment, where so many people fought for survival on a daily basis. It was a hard, brutal start to his life, but one that he wouldn't allow to determine his future.

He is the author of "No Excuses, how to pursue a better life and lift others for a better world", and his "Mile High Momentum" training platform, he is about as far away from his beginning as it possible.

And when he started that walk across the desert did he truly believe that he would be where he is today?
