PODCAST
He hosts his own podcast called 'Secrets Like Yours', in which he shares poetry, motivational stories, and his own track experiences. The idea for the podcast came primarily from questions he received on social media from young athletes, as well as his Christian faith. "It just dawned on me that I can share some experience. A lot of the time when I get asked about those deep life questions, I fall back and just let God take the wheel." (sfexaminer.com, 12 May 2019)

BACKGROUND
He was born in London, England, and moved to his parents' home country of Nigeria at age three. His family relocated to Canada when he was age 11. (olympic.ca, 01 Jun 2021; sfexaminer.com, 12 May 2019)
