#1 Kim: From Football Prodigy to Simple Hobbies
On our first episode, we sit down and chat with Vincent Kimaiga, a teacher and professional football player. We get deep and talk about how his humble childhood shaped his football ambitions, making peace with parents who don't support your dream (and still loving them anyway). That one time Kim could have been a dancer and how playing football made him into the person he is today.
