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.

Despite the North Africa and Middle East being known as an area closed off to Christianity, Tony George and Peter Ramzy are tapping into the ancient roots of Faith Driven Entrepreneurship that exists in Egypt. 

Under Tony’s leadership, the Community (tC) Egypt disciples young people, recovering addicts, women, and business professionals and prepares them for the labor market. Out of that organization came the Oasis Accelerator programs, which Peter now oversees. 

The program provides local Egyptian entrepreneurs with purpose-driven skills to grow their businesses. 

In partnership, Tony and Peter are equipping Egyptian Christians with the community and tools to create a transformative impact in the region.

God can redeem broken situations.

We just have to have faith in the midst of the crisis.

That’s what we learn in today’s podcast episode with Dr. Ngozi Onyia.

In spite of her tragic and dim circumstances, she has seen the faithfulness of God play out since the founding of Paleon Hospital, which went on to become one of the first clinics to serve COVID-19 patients in Nigeria.
