How do we find and fulfill a calling from God?

This episode’s guest addresses this question by highlighting the story of Ayodeji Megbope, founder of the Nigerian catering company, No Left-Overs. 

Ayo started the company after feeling like she had reached a dead end with her 20-year career as a secretary. She wanted to provide greater financial stability for herself and her family, and after years of struggling, she found a calling in the food industry. 

Since then, she has been selected for the Goldman Sachs’ 10 Thousand Women Program and has spoken in front of world leaders about Global Entrepreneurship in places like Turkey and the U.S. 

She joins us to talk about her humble beginnings and how God led her to where she is today.

Starting a company comes with plenty of challenges. Scaling comes with others. 

Metro Africa Express co-founders Adetayo Bamiduro and Chinedu Azodoh understand this well. The two entrepreneurs have created a thriving business that has made an impact in the transportation industry and has positively impacted the lives of many across Africa. In 2021, the company received 31 million dollars in series B funding to help scale the business even more.

They join us to talk about the process of starting and scaling a business while staying devoted to their mission and faith.

What causes someone to go from medical doctor to entrepreneur to venture capitalist?

Few people succeed in any of those fields. This episode’s guest excelled in all three.

Dr. Ola Brown is the founder of the investment firm Healthcap that focuses on venture capital and infrastructure building across Africa.

Prior to that, she worked as a medical doctor. Then she founded Flying Doctors Nigeria, a tech-enabled urgent care services marketplace before co-founding her first fund: Greentree Investment Company. 

Over the years, she has received numerous professional certificates in economics, business, and public partnerships. She speaks and teaches regularly, and offers free lectures on her Youtube channel. 

She joins us today to talk about investing in Africa’s infrastructure.
