At the start of any career journey, it’s easy to believe that hard work alone is enough. But navigating the professional world—especially as a Nigerian in certain spaces—requires more than just skill. It requires mentorship. This episode dives into how finding the right mentors can transform careers, open doors to unexpected opportunities, and boost confidence in ways no one talks about.

But not everyone has access to the same support systems. Gatekeeping culture within professional spaces often makes it harder for people—especially those from marginalized communities—to find opportunities. This is especially true on platforms like LinkedIn, where who you know can be just as important as what you know.

This episode is a wake-up call: mentorship is essential, and finding the right people can change everything. Whether you’re seeking career guidance, trying to grow professionally, or simply looking for advice from someone who’s been in your shoes, mentorship is the key. And beyond that, once you’ve climbed a few steps up, it’s just as important to turn back and help others do the same.
