What happens when you lose everything and have to rebuild from scratch? Francis Kofigah shares the raw journey from wealth to poverty and back—how his family lost it all when he was in JSS3, why he became a dining hall prefect just to get enough food, and the moment a simple donut triggered his entrepreneurial awakening.

You'll discover why the woman who made the original donuts re...

What if the job you love is still too small for your calling? We share the unvarnished path from running social media across 26 countries to building Kingdom Social Media—why we left a dream role, how we worked 16-hour days for six months, and the exact choices that turned scattered effort into focused momentum. The turning point wasn’t doing more; it was doing less, better—niching down to serve speakers, coaches, consultants, and experts with a single, high-leverage format: webinars that reliably convert trust into transformation.

You’ll hear why wealth followed service, not the other way arou...

What if the only thing between you and your next level is someone else’s belief system? We unpack how a mentor’s no-ceiling mindset can reset your definition of “normal,” turning a $100,000 day from a miracle into a metric—and why that shift is the real engine behind sustainable growth.

We share the pivotal story of joining Dr. Miles Munroe’s mentorship, the hesitation that almost cost a life-changing season, and the sobering lesson learned when time ran out. From there, we break down why paying for access isn’t about hype—it’s about leverage. When a single conv...

A million dollars from a single event isn’t magic—it’s method. We pull back the curtain on how IP-backed offers, simple stories, and a service-first mindset combine to create outsized results you can repeat. Instead of stacking features, we show you how to package a clear framework buyers can trust, price it with confidence, and use narrative to translate benefits into action. This is the shift from “selling a course” to delivering a system, from pitching facts to transferring belief.

We also get personal about the mindset behind momentum. You’ll hear how wealth grows when you hel...

What if the moment you found your gift wasn’t the finish line—but the starting gun for service at scale? We dive into the real path from potential to profit, pulling apart the fears that keep talented people stuck and replacing them with a simple, convicting framework: discover, develop, distribute. The heart of the conversation is bold and practical.

We unpack a practical framework that keeps momentum when life gets noisy: the street for grit and re...

What if wealth doesn’t “arrive early” and instead compounds late—after years of risk, clean execution, and unglamorous service? That’s the premise we test as we talk through bold bets, the patience to endure cycles, and the real moment when money starts working for you instead of the other way around.

We dig into the anatomy of risk: how one audacious salt venture challenged a market no one had cracked, why 99% of voices will tell you not to try, and how the line between “biggest mistake” and “making history” often runs straight through purpose. From there, we step bac...

Big promises and fast profits draw people into trading; the truth keeps them in the game. We sit with two battle‑tested traders to strip away the hype and build a durable approach: treat trading like a business, respect the market’s hierarchy, and make risk your first decision of the day. From regulated brokers and execution to leverage that cuts both ways, we map the infrastructure retail traders must understand before they touch a chart.

We get real about education and mentorship—what’s worth paying for and what’s just screenshots—then dive into the prop firm de...

A first million earned by 28. Everything lost by 32. Not a parable—an honest account of how seasonal timing, storage arbitrage, and scrappy logistics turned maize into momentum, then how one unhedged bet on coffee and a missing insurance policy let a storm erase years of gains. We walk through each decision point: why warehouses mattered more than cars, how owning a truck doubled margin, and where “patience” slipped into speculation. The story doesn’t stop at loss; it pivots to the discipline that kept the builder steady—“Don’t use feelings”—and the leadership principle behind it: what you accept will never...

A single storm can erase a fortune—but it can’t erase the person you became earning it. We sit down with a former street seller from Labadi who took a messenger job, treated every small task like a test, and turned that discipline into real capital. He walks us through the practical playbook: seasonal arbitrage in maize, margin stacking by buying a truck, and the leap into exporting coffee. Then the turn—an uninsured warehouse, heavy rains, total loss—and the decision to sell his car to pay his team. The lessons hit hard: hedge concentration risk, insure inventor...

What if the fastest way up isn’t founding a company but serving one—patiently, deliberately, and like an owner? We sit down with the CEO of Coconut Grove Hotels Mr Raphael Ayitey to unpack a rare leadership arc: 25+ years inside a Ghanaian brand, growing from frontline roles to the corner office by turning Ghana’s famed warmth into consistent, professional service.

We dig into the talent philosophy that kept attrition low and loyalty high: give young people responsibility early, pair it with clear SOPs and KPIs, and mentor with intent. From there, we tackle the overlooked twin o...

Imagine making a million dollars in just one month from a single online event. According to webinar expert David Simons, this isn't just possible - it's repeatable when you understand the psychology behind high-ticket sales.

Meet Richie Mensah, the visionary founder who transformed Ghana's music landscape with nothing but a $12 computer microphone and unwavering self-belief. In this profound conversation, Richie reveals how he built Lynx Entertainment from a bedroom studio into a multi-faceted media empire that's launched some of Africa's biggest musical talents.

What separates Richie's story from typical success narratives is his radical philosophy of personal accountability. "Whatever you are right now, if you are poor, you are a self-made poor man. If you are rich, you are a self-made rich man," he asserts, challenging listeners to stop blaming circumstances and...

The journey from obscurity to influence is rarely a straight line. For Daniel Asante, fashion content creator with over 10 million followers, that path wound through council estates in Northwest London, the loss of his father at age seven, and a banking career that never quite felt right.

"When I was seven years old, my father passed away," Daniel shares, reflecting on his childhood with a single mother who worked as a cleaner. Despite financial struggles that led to bullying, his mother instilled a profound sense of gratitude and purpose that would later become the foundation of his...
