What does it mean to be carried — by people, by resilience, and by integrity?

In this deeply human episode, Pelumi Olatinpo shares his journey from arriving in the U.S. undocumented and dependent on strangers for survival, to becoming a respected professional known for his integrity and empathy. Along the way, he was carried — first by pastors and friends who gave him shelter, then by a colleague who quietly took on his workload and mentored him without recognition.

But when the tables turned and Pelumi had the chance to save himself by exposing someone else’s mistake, he chose compassion over self-preservation. That choice became his turning point — and the foundation of lasting trust and leadership.
