    About this audiobook

    At a crossroads in life or your career and searching for inspiration to go after a dream or the courage to stay the course in the face of so much uncertainty?

    Then Risk and Return is just the audiobook for you.

    Risk and Return is the story of one man’s return to Africa — a journey that begins with a search for self-fulfillment, which then evolves into an entrepreneurial adventure filled with tribulations, triumphs, and many life lessons that will keep listeners engaged from start to finish.

    In a casual conversational voice, the author, Yomi Jemibewon, gives an honest, often hilarious, and sometimes sobering account of what it feels like to chase a dream under highly uncertain circumstances. His anecdotes and reflections about navigating an unfamiliar, sometimes unforgiving African business environment — as an idealistic returnee, an eager entrepreneur, or a young family man — will help listeners navigate the challenging and sometimes terrifying times that a person experiences when embarking on a big life change.

    For those listeners with a special passion for Africa, his story just might inspire action to join the wave of people collaborating to galvanize positive change in Africa.

      Inspiration-filled, relatable, pragmatic, true and practical, especially for a Nigerian! The narrator also did a brilliant job, I particularly love the timely and witty infusion of indigenous languages and slangs.
