How Conquering My Greatest Fear Helped Me Become the Best Hiker in the World

In Montenegro, where the first Zuzalu community of builders, technologists, network state advocates, and disruptors convened, I overcame my worst fear: heights. I hiked one of the steepest mountains in the country despite my fear of heights. A frightening undertaking became an amazing self-discovery trip. I'm proud to be the world's top hiker, both literally and by the feat I achieved.

Lessons Learned:

I learned some important lessons from this experience that I think can help others succeed:

  1. Focus on the objective rather than the smoke.

2. Having individuals who support your dream and help you reach it is invaluable.

3. Find others with the same goal to help you when needed.

Conclusion:

My path shows that we can overcome our worries and attain our ambitions. We can exceed our limits with the appropriate mindset and assistance. With determination and encouragement, you can overcome your worries and try new things. So face your fears—you never know where they may lead!

I'm Eric Annan, and I'm building the world's largest social-proof network for two main reasons:

Create on-chain, real-time digital identities for African youth who lack global prospects.

Build a virtual project-based skilled acquisition community of learners, builders, and change markers to onboard the billion African young talents under the age of 30 in less than two decades from now to scale web3 usability, utility, and adoption. A population that will be greater than India and China combined.


Proofs:

Last year, we told Coinbase we could do 50 people as a proof of concept. They granted us a grant, and we did 66, more than our targets; 7% obtained employment, and some building their startups. We are scaling this trillion-dollar opportunity.

Our Call!!!

We are bold, courageous, relentless builders, and a resilient team. Will you bet on us to create a new narrative for mass innovators that build local solutions to fix Africa?

Will you join us to affect millions and unlock the untapped potential value of Africa?
