Joel Toussaint is a public speaker, engineer, tutor of math and physics, and one of the most purpose-driven people that I’ve ever gotten the chance to talk with. He was born in Haiti and moved to the U.S at age 23 with the goal of becoming an engineer. While he was still learning to speak the language he worked a series of blue-collar jobs and saved up enough money to put himself through college. He graduated from Georgia Tech with a master’s degree and began working in engineering.

From there, he discovered a passion for public speaking. Joel recognizes the power that great speakers have to teach and to inspire large groups of people to take action. He has a very unique perceptive to share from living in Haiti and the U.S and he is able to extract some really valuable life lessons from both experiences.

In this episode, we discuss the potential future of Haiti, a topic that Joel is very passionate about. One of his main goals is to use public speaking to help unite the people of Haiti and show the world all of the incredible things their nation is capable of.

We also discuss future technological innovations that may help change the way we all live.

In this episode, Joel breaks down his approach to studying math and physics and shares how he is able to simplify what would normally seem complicated, which is a skill that can be applied to any difficult task that you’re perusing.

As usual, I have my co-host, Kya Lian, joining us in his episode. Hope you enjoy it.
