About

Linos Owusu-Asare

In the heart of Tottenham, London, a single phrase from my secondary school teacher, Mr. Antti, changed the trajectory of my life: "Linos, you are a smart kid; you should consider scholarships to US Universities."

From that moment, I embraced the transformative power of words, storytelling, and education. This journey carried me from Tottenham to Philadelphia (I got that scholarship!), San Francisco, Dublin (Ireland), San Francisco (again!), New York, and now Los Angeles, shaping my commitment to inspiring others through words, storytelling, and education.

With over a decade of experience in video creation at early-stage ed-tech startups like Udemy and Outlier, I've dedicated myself to crafting impactful and educational content. These ventures (coupled with my extensive travels) have cultivated a deep understanding of diverse perspectives, enriching my creativity and driving me to empower others.
