Welcome to Road to Reinvention, the podcast.
My name is Sherrell Dorsey, I’m a data journalist, a tech founder, an award-winning entrepreneur, and a speaker for Fortune 500 companies. After several successful businesses and what many would consider a life well done, I found myself struggling after earning all my gold stars, to answer the simple question of "what's next?" This seems to be a destination many find themselves arriving at and few know the answer.
Do you create just another goal? Do you hang it up? Do you pivot and show up in a new space? OR do you once and for all decide to put that kind of energy into your personal life and put the work aside?
I don't know yet. But I have tons of friends, colleagues, and people I admire that have tracked this same journey and will be joining us this season to bare it all. How they answered the question that left them puzzled after earning the highest of highs.
So join me as I speak to those who learned to navigate their own road to reinvention. I hope this podcast inspires you to honor every step of your journey and the need to change as you see fit.

S2 EP6: Study Yourself Like You Study Your Business with Abu Fofanah
Ever felt as if you know your purpose, as clear as day, and yet your identity remains a mystery?
In this episode, Sherell is joined by Abu Fofanah, a refugee-turned-CEO, who transitioned his life from surviving to thriving in the empire he built for himself. Abu talks about finding your identity, setting expectations, studying yourself like you would study your business, and how doing so can uncover the steps towards building a transformative life.
So tune into this conversation and discover the many facets of the Road to Reinvention that we all embark on with Sherrell and Abu today!
KEY POINTS:
Learning about yourself is like a business process
Find purpose and know your self identity
Stop having high expectations
Deal with personal excuses
Believe you are capable of doing more
Reinvention is about self awareness
QUOTABLES:
“Success is not the absence of troubles and challenges.”
“Reinvention is when you can identify where you currently are to where you're trying to go. And ‘that gap’ that needs to be filled in order to actually be purposeful, have self identity, and be the truest version of yourself.
