    Episode 11: [Value Boost] What Is a Personal Brand, Really? | Dr. Genevieve Hayes

    What does it actually mean to have a personal brand? In this conversation, Dr. Genevieve Hayes and I explore what personal branding really means—and whether building a personal brand requires you to become a version of yourself that you aren't. Genevieve's answer is simple: be yourself, but share the parts of yourself that can genuinely help other people. We talk about the difference between authenticity and performance, why Genevieve doesn't want to be an “influencer,” and why a personal brand should ultimately be consistent with who you are.

    Episode 10: You Don't Find Your Niche. You Grow Into It. | Dr. Genevieve Hayes

    How do you find your niche when you have broad interests and an even broader vision for your future? In this episode, I speak with Dr. Genevieve Hayes, a data scientist and solopreneur, about her journey from corporate life to building her own business. We discuss why you don't need to have your entire future figured out before you start, how trying different things can help you discover where you create value, and why the first lane you choose doesn't have to contain everything you may eventually become. Genevieve also shares a simple framework for building a business around what you already know while deliberately developing the skills and interests that could shape your future. If you're struggling to choose a lane, this conversation may help you see that the answer isn't always to think harder about your niche. Sometimes, you need to start, learn, eliminate, and grow into it.

    Episode 9: Her Husband Died. Her Faith Didn't. | Dr. Oyinkansola Ogundimu

    What kind of faith survives unimaginable loss? In this conversation, Dr. Oyinkansola Ogundimu shares how moving to the United States challenged her relationship with God, why she realized her spiritual foundation wasn't as strong as she thought, and how rebuilding it prepared her for the greatest trial of her life. When her husband was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer, everything changed. Yet through grief, she discovered a deeper understanding of God's love, hope, and what it truly means to build your life on Christ. This is a conversation about faith, suffering, and building an unshakable foundation.

Whether you're navigating uncertainty, waiting for your next opportunity, or reflecting on how life's twists often make sense only in hindsight, this conversation offers a thoughtful perspective on resilience and purpose.

    Episode 6: She hated cats. Then a dream changed that forever | Folakemi Oseni

    Can God use something as ordinary as a cat to begin changing someone's heart? In this episode of Breakfast & Launch, I sit down with writer and creative Folakemi Oseni for a conversation that begins with an unexpected story about growing up afraid of cats and slowly unfolds into a much deeper discussion about faith, spiritual growth, and learning to recognise God's voice. We explore: • Why many Nigerians grow up fearing cats • The dream that unexpectedly changed everything • Whether God works through ordinary moments • Moving from routine religion to genuine relationship with God • The question that transformed Folakemi's prayer life • What it really means to hear God's voice Sometimes the most meaningful conversations begin in the most unexpected places.
