Summary: Follow Dozie Anyaegbunam, Senior Editor at The CMO, as he recalls being a young man in Nigeria with an unhealthy case of shiny object syndrome until his father offers him a valuable yet unorthodox life lesson in the title, not the story, of a book.

Correction: The narration of this episode says Dozie works at CMO.com but is actually employed by The CMO. Sorry.
