    StormCast Ep. 25 with Bodam Taiwo: Beyond the "Love" We’ve Been Sold.

    I sat down with Bodam Taiwo to discuss the kind of anchor you only find when everything else is stripped away.Bodam is a powerhouse—a high-level Marketing Executive who has navigated the boardrooms of top multinationals—but her real influence lies in how she integrates that sharp professional precision with her work in femininity and faith. She is a woman of systems, but those systems are built on a foundation much deeper than a corporate strategy.We went deep into the near-death experience that cemented her walk with God and the intentional routines she uses to stay grounded in a chaotic world. We also tackled the messy intersection of love—self, platonic, and romantic—and how social media has distorted our view of what "connection" actually looks like.In a world obsessed with how things "look," are you actually centered on what’s real? Is God your anchor, or just your aesthetic?The full conversation is live. Watch Episode 25 via the links in my bio and let’s look at the foundations.#StormCast #NeverHectic #BodamTaiwo #DivineAlignment #FemininityAndFaith #SystemsForLiving #FoluStorms

    StormCast Ep. 24: Who Built Your Cage?

    February is here, and the "new year" dust has finally settled. But as we step into this second month, I have to ask: are you actually moving forward, or are you just dragging your cage with you?In this solo musing, I’m digging into the ego. We often treat the ego like a villain, but it’s really just a sense of self that’s lost its balance. Sometimes it’s over-inflated, blocking our view of the truth; other times it’s under-developed, keeping us small and hidden. Both are prisons.I’ve realised that our identity, the very thing we use to define ourselves, can become our most sophisticated trap. Especially for those of us used to being "strong" or "capable," those labels eventually become bars. We get so attached to who we think we should be that we leave no room for who we are becoming.This is an invitation to shift your perspective. I want us to look at the walls we’ve built and realise that we’re the ones holding the keys. It’s time to get out of our own way.This episode was recorded at the Creative Economy Practice Entertainment Hub. Want tocreate in this space?

    DJ Lambo on StormCast Ep 23: Your Feed is Lying to You.

    I see the 15-second clips just like you do: the stadium lights, the roar of the crowd, and that "living the dream" aesthetic that looks so perfect on a grid. But I’ve sat with Lambo outside the frame, and I know that your feed is lying to you.In this conversation, we’re pulling back the curtain on t living a global life and touring on the road. It can be a place of extreme pressure, near-riots, and a level of exhaustion that social media simply isn’t built to hold.It’s easy to love or hate the version of a life you see in a reel. It’s much harder to maintain Human Fidelity to yourself when the world only wants to quantify your "hype." We’re digging into the reality of the "Holy Land" of Afrobeats, and the weight of global representation.Whats more important: protecting your peace, or protecting your image?

    StormCast Ep 22: Talking about Work, Life and seeking Balance. With Ibrahim Suleiman

    Ibrahim Suleiman is a typical multi-hyphenate Nigerian in a lot of ways: Solid degree and a multitude of skillsets, from Dancing to Acting and Painting, through which he expresses himself and makes a living. It is in the living that i'm most interested. You see, unlike a lot of typical young Nigerians, Ibrahim has built a life that appears rich with love and earns a living doing the things he loves and is blessed to be raising a son he loves quite dearly, most people would call that winning at life.As his friend however I know that his life isn't without it's challenges, so I wanted to have a conversation with him to learn a bit more about how he navigates the Storms life can throw one's way and how he tries (and sometimes fails) to balance all these areas of life.Do you think you're doing a good job balancing the personal with the professional? How do you navigate these core parts of life?

    StormCast Ep. 21: Mid- January reality check

    So, it’s  mid January.  The "New Year, New Me" hype is starting to cool down, and the actual year is starting to… well, happen. Be honest with me: did you actually take a second to breathe before January 1st? Or did you just roll into 2026 with last year’s fatigue still in your bones and your "ginger" on autopilot?  Are we actually building on foundations, or are we just chasing resolutions because we’re afraid of the silence? We’re digging into the "noise"—the pressure that seems to be getting "worser" by the day—and the radical act of just being still. I truly believe that it’s only in that stillness that you can finally hear yourself. And more importantly, it’s the only place quiet enough to hear God. Let’s take stock. Let’s assess. Let’s pause, before the year moves any faster.

    StormCast Ep 20: Identity, Value & Assumptions

    Have you ever considered just how much the way you identify affects the value others place on you? Titles are something we cling to in modern life, groups or clans we want to identify with, but what does it mean when we begin to quantify humans as a result?I try to work my way through some of these thoughts and would love to know what you think in the comments below.

    StormCast Ep 19: The Currency of Influence and having faith through it all

    I sat down with my friend, the graceful Enado Odunsi. As our conversations usually end up, we went much deeper than fame and career, with Enado sharing a perspective I think is necessary, refreshing, and timely as we enter a new year. In our discussion I found it interesting to observe how faith serves as a grounding force while navigating the "long game" of success. It’s a candid look at the internal work that sustains external growth, and I believe her insights are incredibly relatable for anyone looking to start their year with intention. Enjoy the listen and let me know what you think!

    StormCast Ep 18: The Currency of Storytelling

    I sat down with Chris Ihidero to move beyond the usual "passion" talk and focus on structural integrity. We discuss why building a durable foundation is more valuable than chasing immediate viral fame.While our conversation is rooted in the creative world, Chris’s unfiltered insights on discipline and long-term strategy are relatable to anyone building a career or a business. It’s an honest look at the work required to turn an idea into a lasting legacy.Enjoy the listen and let me know what you think!
