What if the very thing standing in your way is the thing shaping who you’re becoming?
In this powerful episode of Happiness Through Creating, we journey to Malawi to explore the story of William Kamkwamba, the teenage boy who built a windmill out of scrap parts during a famine—and brought light to his village.
Against poverty, hunger, and ridicule, William created something far greater than electricity. He created hope, identity, and a ripple effect of innovation across the globe.
Through his journey, we unpack the cycle of creation:
How character creates motivation
How motivation creates movement
How movement builds momentum
And how momentum opens doors—not just in the world, but within ourselves
You'll also learn about the “Insight Loop”:
Assess → Adjust → Act—a creative framework to move forward even when everything says you can’t.
This episode isn’t just about a windmill.
It’s about how opposition can become fuel for joy, growth, and transformation.
🎧 Whether you feel stuck, underestimated, or uncertain about what’s next—this story is a reminder:
You don’t need perfect conditions. You just need the courage to create.
