Hey fam!
So I’ve been working on something led by my buddy @Williamavasquez.
We all know how hard it can be to organize games with friends, know who is coming, and ask repeat questions on WhatsApp?

At Netflix, we realized that we weren’t in business with the Toshibas and the Sonys of the world.
We were in business with the guy sitting at home trying to find a DVD to watch.
Every successful career I've ever known was filled with long periods of meandering, months or even years when no one knew what would happen next.
Look at me: I started as a geology major turned failed realtor.
I then ended up founding several companies, one of which ended up becoming @netflix

Eating healthy truly rewires your brain. These days, everything looks like poison to me. I’ve cut out soy, highly processed food, alcohol and sweet snacks from my diet.
I choose this kind of “hard” please.
In every city I’m in, all I need to say is “who dey here?” and there’s almost always someone willing to treat me to lunch or host me. You can’t survive abroad living like an island. Community is super important.
If you want a community abroad. YOU have to put in the work.
Every market day someone is complaining of how lonely it is, but YOU ARE NOT FRIENDLY.
How we go do am ehn baby?
🚨 Next Episode with Gbenga Oyebode is out next week:
He’s the co-founder of Aluko & Oyebode (Nigeria’s largest full-service law firm by headcount)
He’s been on the boards of Access Bank, MTN, Okomu Oil Palm, Ford Foundation, Carnegie Hall, etc. He’s also been an angel investor in companies like Paystack, Moniepoint & Mono.
But not many people know that he studied in the U.S. & worked there for a time as an Associate at White & Case. His experience in America helped him visualize the type of law firm he wanted to build in Nigeria.
Yet the path from there to today wasn’t not that simple or straightforward & Mr. Oyebode openly discussed the challenges he faced along the way.
