There was a point in my life when I felt stuck moving, grinding, hustling, but not really growing. I kept hitting the same walls, repeating the same mistakes, and wondering why success felt so close yet so far. Then I realised something: growth isn’t a straight line. It’s a loop. A cycle of learning, unlearning, failing, adjusting, trying again, and becoming better each time. This podcast lives inside that loop. The Growth Loop is my personal journey and the lessons I’m learning as I build, fail, rebuild, and evolve as an entrepreneur, a creator, and a young African trying to make sense of ambition in a world that doesn’t slow down. This podcast is for the people who feel like they’re always on the edge of becoming — the ones chasing clarity, discipline, confidence, purpose, and success that actually feels like success.

    Borrowed Brain - The Death of Original Thought

    Most of us outsource our thinking without realizing it—and that habit is killing our originality. In a world flooded with information, the true danger isn't the lack of data, but the loss of independent thought. This episode reveals how social media, cultural norms, and even political pressures are pushing us to adopt borrowed brains, turning original thinking into a rarity—and even a rebellion. You'll discover how the 'world brain' fosters conformity over innovation and why adapting others’ perspectives without context stifles personal growth. We break down the dangers of living on borrowed opinions—how it leads to mental laziness, loss of purpose, and the rise of polarized narratives. Along the way, you'll see why the key to genuine progress lies in reclaiming your mind through the first principles approach: questioning assumptions, breaking down complex ideas into fundamentals, and resisting the crowd’s influence. This episode encourages you to question what you accept as truth and to understand the broader implications of mindless following in politics, religion, and everyday decisions. Cultivating independent thought isn’t just about intellectual freedom—it's about survival in an age that rewards conformity over creativity. Perfect for entrepreneurs, thinkers, and anyone eager to think critically in a world obsessed with consensus. Reclaim your mind—because the future belongs to those who dare to think for themselves.

  2. Survival - The Death of Curiosity

    Survival - The Death of Curiosity

    Most innovation in Africa is stifled not by a lack of talent, but by survival mode—where basic needs are unmet and curiosity is buried under the weight of scarcity. This episode reveals how systemic survival pressures deaden creativity, limit growth, and keep countries and individuals alike trapped in a cycle of struggle. If you’re looking to understand why big ideas stay unrealized and how to break through systemic barriers, this is your must-listen. You’ll discover why survival is the enemy of innovation, how scarcity kills curiosity, and what Nigeria — and similar systems — can do to reverse this trend. Through insights rooted in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, we break down how unmet physiological and safety needs suppress self-actualization, self-esteem, and the drive to create. The scramble to meet basic necessities leaves little room for vision, science, or entrepreneurship. We also explore how low-trust environments—characteristic of survival economies—compound the problem, making it harder for entrepreneurs and creatives to thrive. If systemically solving hunger, power, and security can unlock the full potential of a nation’s talent pool, the implications are enormous — for individual growth, economic development, and societal progress. This episode isn’t just about Nigeria; it’s about the systemic flaws that limit innovation everywhere. Perfect for leaders, entrepreneurs, and curious minds eager to decode what stifles progress and how environments shape our capacity to innovate. If you want to see the bigger picture and learn how to turn systemic constraints into catalysts for growth, hit play now.
