Sharing his story on TikTok, the young man, identified as Pricyn, welcomed his followers into his daily life as a bread producer and seller.

Pricyn explained, both in detail and visually, how his day as a bread seller starts from 7:30 am, but hours before that, he would wake up to have a fellowship with God, followed by a bit of exercise.

Based in Accra, the accountant-turned-bread seller noted that at the time of work (7:30 am) he begins to make phone calls to his 'big clients' to confirm their orders.

Right after that, he gets down to business with the bread production, from mixing, cutting, and molding. According to him, he finishes the production process around 11:00 am, then heads out by 4:30 pm to deliver the orders at each stop.

His story is a touching one, and what captured the attention of many was that even in the bread-selling business, Pricyn has been applying his accounting knowledge and skills.

He mentioned how, at the end of his working hours, he settles down to make an account of every sale. He explained that as the final delivery ends by 9:00 pm, he heads back to the bakery to record every number in an Excel sheet.

Even though the work of an accountant is less stressful compared to that of a bread seller, Pricy stated that the business brings him joy and happiness.

Sharing the video on TikTok, he captioned:
