On the thirty third episode of the P.O.T.N👑. Podcast Takura was joined by Tobi Aroyehun, who is a passionate, adaptable, and determined individual. In his episode, he shares his passions for self-improvement, fitness, and creating redpill content. Tobi takes us on an insightful journey of how he created his YouTube channel and developed his love for fitness. He states his YouTube channel aims to provide men with knowledge of dating and fitness, as well as how they can make themselves more attractive in the dating market. He also tells us how he transitioned from an electrical engineer to a software engineer, and how that has improved his organisational, time management and communication skills. Since 2019, Tobi has been an advocate for fitness, as he shares how it positively impacted his life, mental health and stress management. As a fitness enthusiast, Tobi encourages us to become more active and eat more nutritious foods. At present, he is actively working towards becoming a personal trainer in the future, as he wants to share his passion for fitness and help his clients achieve their fitness targets. On the subject of training, Tobi breaks down some myths associated with fitness. In addition, he tells us who his inspirations are in the fitness realm. Tobi mentions his admiration for his inspirations and fitness journeys, but he doesn't 100% agree with their approach of promoting fitness because it is unrealistic. Tobi states that in fitness, it is important to be transparent and honest with those looking to become better versions of themselves. This way, people looking to become healthier can have a more realistic view of their expectations. When asked about a positive moment he has experienced, Tobi shares a story of how his high school bullies turned their lives around, and even praised Tobi’s growth. Even the fact that they were able to display maturity and courage to apologise for their past wrongdoings towards him. Additionally, Tobi says if anyone does wrong by us, it is important that we do not seek revenge on these individuals, and we must respect ourselves to move on from these past events. He understands that emotions might be hard for people. To overcome challenging situations, Tobi believes that having the mental fortitude to look through problems and find solutions is extremely important. Additionally, he also adds that exercise can help us problem solve more efficiently, as well as cope better with high pressure situations. When it comes to the topic of failure, Tobi believes that the most important thing about failure is the experience we gain. He adds on to say that each time we experience a failure, we become wiser and more competent at successfully completing things we have failed at before. He also says it is OK to feel angry, sad and disappointed when we fail, but it is important to remember that failure is an opportunity for us to learn and grow. Tobi shares his experience of failing a driving test after months of practice, and how he responded to the failure. Going forward, Tobi is excited for his plans, which include the growth of his YouTube channel and starting his own business. He believes that “failure to plan is planning for failure.” So he encourages us to have a plan on how to live, instead of going with the flow. He also shares his excitement for the developments happening in the tech industry, and how we could potentially have artificial organs that can help us live longer lives in the future. To stay productive, Tobi always thinks of the reward he is working toward, as it helps him grind through difficult moments. Additionally, he says motivation will be key in the initial stages, but as time progresses, discipline will take us the furthest in helping us succeed and accomplish things. Tobi enjoys leading initiatives and connecting with new people. He strongly believes that “Network is our net worth” because building and maintaining relationships has helped him achieve many things, including passing his degrees and securing employment. This is one skill he would love to coach others on, because people help people achieve success in any field. In addition, he shares that the success we achieve is because of other people, so we must do our best to value those around us who enable us to succeed and thrive. In the near future, he would love to learn French and Spanish as new languages, so that he can communicate with more people, offer more, and grow his network and outreach in his projects. In closing, Tobi advises us to strive to become the best versions of ourselves. As well as do what is best for ourselves and our circumstances. And not live with any regrets. People will judge us either way, so it's important to do what we want to do to improve our situations. Tobi advises us to try our best and not live with any regrets. As his father advised him, it is better to try and fail, rather than never try and wonder whether things would have worked out. A ...
