b'"I REALIZED THE PATHWAY I WAS GOING THROUGH WAS SILENCING ME.\\nI\'ve learned that greatness can come from anywhere, everywhere, or anyone. It all starts with a dream, a vision. Of course one of the secrets is never giving up, but the biggest one is that it needs to be yours.\\nYou need to know that your goals are your goals, not something pushed on you by someone else.\\nNo matter where you are in your life, or what obstacles appear in your way, you can achieve it. I believe this now more than ever after sitting down with our most recent guest, Tererai Trent.\\nTererai was born in Zimbabwe, was forced into marriage as a child, and even gave birth to 4 children by the time she was 18. She came from a place where education wasn\'t an opportunity given to women.\\nTererai ended up pushing through so many obstacles and now had a PhD - and that\'s just the beginning of her incredible accomplishments.\\nTererai was named by Oprah as her All-Time Favorite Guest and received a $1.5 million donation to rebuild her childhood elementary school in recognition of her tenacity and never-give-up attitude. With the firm belief that education is the pathway out of poverty and a desire to give back to her community, she founded Tererai Trent International.\\nEleven schools are being built in Zimbabwe and education has been improved for over 5,000 children so far. And this is only the beginning.\\nToday, Dr. Trent is invited to speak all over the world, to share her remarkable story and the valuable lessons she has learned along the way. She just came out with a new book all about empowering women to awaken to their full potential (she is the poster child of this). Her favorite motto is Tinogona, meaning, It is achievable!\\nDiscover all of that and much more, on Episode 596.\\nSome Questions I ask:\\nWhat interested you in agriculture?
