From Medical Doctor to Chicken Farmer | Dr. Daniel Masaba | TEDxIUEA

Leaving the prestigious career of a doctor to do poultry farming seems like a ridiculous thought and can surely come with criticism from society and family. Despite being the only Doctor in his clan, Dr. Masaba took the tough decision because he says "Whilst I'm expected to pursue the medical profession to bring joy and pride to my family, it takes courage to live a life true to yourself and not what others expect of you."
Dr. Daniel Masaba is a medical doctor who left his Medical career to pursue farming. He shares his journey of poultry and livestock farming on his almost 150,000 subscriber strong KZbin Channel FarmUp. Dr. Daniel Masaba is a Doctor who left his Medical career to pursue farming.

[@mlokole254]

I know!!!! I really enjoy his openness. Very inspiring and such a blessing

[@henryluyombya]

I absolutely agree!!!!!! Thank you Dr. Daniel Masaba, the story teller and chicken farmer. Much appreciated

[@anabelletalstein2479]

I love this story, I'm a chicken farmer myself, well I'm a chicken master, I'm going to be a veterinarian experienced in poultry, and I'm writing 2 books. I have a social media and working on a blog. I'm only 16. I have around 70 chickens, and expanding a lot next year. In a couple years, I'll be an exotic poultry breeder. Breeding gamefowl, as well as other rare & exotic breeds.

[@dafyddlewis89]

I've been following this guy for ages, his vibe and happiness makes it difficult to see his extremely hard work and genius. Love him, such an inspiration to get up and farm every day!

[@hillsidegamefarm]

I just followed you brother from Farm Up to here. You look so smart brother. keep inspiring people and you know what, I just started my free range chicken at my backyard and I already have about 100 chickens right now. I've learned a lot from your channel. I am one of the thousands people that you inspired, Love from Philippines brother❤️ keep it up.

[@calculust3033]

A realist, not what many manipulators do with their youtube channels. Seeing you present at TEDx demonstrate your authenticity and diligence. Kudos Sir.

[@margaretngigi1319]

Dr Daniel inspired me to start my poultryfarm.keep going doctor

[@jetsnitram7188]

Dr. Daniels you are now officially one of my mentors although I 'm much older than you. You're an inspiration. Keep rising brother 🇯🇲

[@websterzulu2197]

Am an environmental health inspector very passionate about rearing chickens. One day I'll call you standing in my poultry. Just on day a call will ring from zambia. 🇿🇲

[@michellesgarden5695]

Dr Daniel...you might be a farmer...but you're also a Dr...and what you are first and foremost is a champion..an inspiring hardworking young man that deserves the best

[@Andolem]

Proud of you, young man,it seems you will achieve more than just a chicken farm.

[@geralddonga2927]

Well said Andi

[@wuodsiaya6610]

THIS MAN INSPIRES ME EVERY MOMENT HE OPEN HIS MOUTH....

[@mrels8455]

Wow, excellent Dr Daniel Fan and follower from 🇿🇼 Zimbabwe

[@user-vd5vc7fq2e]

Just watched 2 videos and am hooked to Dr Daniel. Thank you so much & I expect life transformation.

[@gloriousevents]

Daniel is a great example of following ur passion and creativity not necessarily the strict education system we are accustomed to

[@lindagitau7886]

True, our education system especially here in Kenya is so rigid and very academically focused. We need to encourage youth to be flexible when thinking of career choices. Not everyone is a book person, youth need to be encouraged to be hard workers, to seek their dreams in whatever form.

[@rickierickie6985]

I call him my mentor. Just completed my medical school too but my passion for chicken is so high. Three months since I brought my first bunch of birds and so far so good, he has been so fundamental towards my farm growth. Though am multitasking for now but I hope one day I will be able to be a full time chicken farmer.

[@nobuthelezibediampofu7846]

My favorite person l discovered him on Farm up thank you for your information. I am a nurse but will be a famer soon
