What does it mean to be human in a world that moves faster than our ability to feel? In this very first episode, your host, Onyinye Ijeh (me!) introduces Interesting People (of Earth), a digital campfire for meaningful dialogue about life, purpose, culture, and the messy, beautiful layers of being alive right now. This episode is part reflection, part origin story. I share how the podcast came to life, from my early YouTube influences and years working in International Development, to rediscovering the art of listening in a world obsessed with reacting. Themes explored include: The meaning of authenticity in a filtered world Identity, belonging, and creativity Emotional intelligence as a baseline, not a bonus Humor, humility, and the absurdity of existence * The power of nuance in modern discourse If you’ve ever wanted to slow down, think deeply, and reconnect with what makes us human, welcome home.
