The Power of Service with Manny Ohonme

In this inspiring episode of the Revenue Builders podcast, our hosts John McMahon and John Kaplan talk to the Founder of Samaritan's Feet International, Manny Ohonme. Manny regales us with his life story of hope, faith, and selfless leadership that all started with a pair of shoes. Once a poor kid selling water and soda in Lagos, Nigeria, Manny worked hard to earn a basketball scholarship that became his ticket to the US. There, he devoted himself to his studies and eventually led a successful career in tech sales. Pursuing a search for greater purpose, Manny left his corporate career to establish a non-profit that would change the lives of millions around the world, one pair of shoes at a time.  Additional Resources:Support Samaritan’s Feet: https://samaritansfeet.org/Connect with Manny on LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/mannyohonme/Listen to More Revenue Builders: https://www.forcemanagement.com/revenue-builders-podcast HIGHLIGHTSHow basketball and a pair of shoes changed Manny's life Arriving in America and succeeding despite every obstacleDivine intervention and answering the call to serve Giving back to his community and its children with shoes Over 1.5 billion people are infected by diseases transmitted through soilGiving shoes to children, veterans, and elderly all over the worldHow a missed PR opportunity led to 1.3 million pairs of shoes and more QUOTESManny on servant leadership: "From CEOs to the president of companies to presidents of countries humble themselves to wash these people's feet.
