43rd Podcast Episode With National Master Kola Adeyemi

In Episode 43, I converse with National Master Kola Adeyemi, who’s been a great friend and colleague ever since I met him in Washington Square Park back in 2006. Since then we’ve spent countless hours playing speed chess against one another, traveling to the North American Open in Las Vegas in December 2010, teaching together with Make a Difference in Tanzania in July 2018 and much more. By day, Kola is Strategy and Operations Lead at Google. We discuss chess communities, the correlations between chess, finance and technology, the importance of constant improvement, volunteering in Tanzania and much more.
