Old Gregorian, avid Banana Island Living listener and serial entrepreneur, Adeyemo Sodipo, has embedded himself in the community he migrated into - St. Louis, Missouri. He has set up businesses, serves as a trustee of that most WASP of WASP American institutions, the private Prep school, been a union employer and sits on the board of his local Crime Victim Advocacy Centre.
Adeyemo represents that most conflicted of individuals - the diaspora Nigerian. In this episode we discuss:
- Once a Gregorian, always a Gregorian;
- 3.9/4 GPA and still wanting;
- How to survive as a diaspora entrepreneur in the US (what you don't learn in business school);
- Naira/Dollar values and the perennial whinge of the diasporan;
- Nigerian politics and the lesser of all the evils;
- Staying and building vs. running away and doom and glooming - nope, we don't judge;
- Dad, daddy and father - love, legacy and the binds that last.
- And Fela - Lady, Shakara and no, water no get enemy. IYKYK.
