Tesho Akindele's journey around the world as a footballer gave him the chance to see places he never would've dreamed of going, literally and figuratively.

The former Canadian international raised in Colorado thought he'd be an engineer before MLS came calling as he neared the end of his college career. Then, he didn't know what he'd do after playing until a lightbulb went off and his travels became the perfect primer for his career as a Development Analyst.

Tesho is passionate about building communities that are vibrant, accessible and friendly for everyone. He talks about that and connects the dots from college to his life now on this episode as well as delivering insight to what his day to day life is like working in community development.
