Toro Adeyemi is a spirited and tenacious communications professional and entrepreneur who, whilst taking a walk to temporarily escape quarantine during the height of the pandemic in April 2020, stopped for a moment and asked herself — is ‘this’ career path the road I want to continue on? Thinking others might also be experiencing such existential questions, especially in isolation, she decided that she wants to check in with her fellow humans. Basically, Bullish with Toro wants to know in this podcast — Are you doing what you want to be doing with your life?
