    How Tobi Oluwole Earned $1.2M Creating Content on Linkedin | Personal Branding & Entrepreneurship

    How Tobi Oluwole Earned $1.2M Creating Content on Linkedin | Personal Branding & Entrepreneurship

    According to Tobi Oluwole, here's the #1 formula to remember:


    Content = Attention
    Attention = Traffic
    Traffic = Revenue
    Revenue = Freedom

    And he knows what he's talking about. From a boss who didn't like that, he was doing so much on Linkedin to another company where his content accelerated his career - he got promoted because of his visibility, got to speak at events, and more to now being able to earn (a really good) full-time income from his content.



    In this episode: How to accelerate your growth as a content creator, expert, or influencer. Tobi shares the early signs he saw, what he studied and replicated, and more to get to millions of impressions in the first six months and now over 100M impressions.

    Building a Fresh Start in Canada: David Ojeyinka's Untold Journey of Resilience

    Building a Fresh Start in Canada: David Ojeyinka's Untold Journey of Resilience

    David Ojeyinka has spoken to over 150 senior leaders of immigrant descent on his podcast about their journeys, but you haven't heard his story of resilience in moving from Nigeria to Canada. And what a story it is! I sat with my friend, an inspirational speaker and embodiment of resilience, to talk through the highs, lows, and lessons learned on his journey of building a fresh start in Canada.

    One of my favourite parts of this episode is where he credits his transformation from naivety to becoming wise and visionary to simply believing God. It sounds very ordinary but something about the child-like faith has stuck with me. There’s also the absolute doggedness it takes to keep going when no one else sees the vision of what you're building.
