SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
2:58
SPEAKER_01: Okay, let's let's let's delve into who Shay is to try and understand.
3:03
SPEAKER_01: I want to understand the mindset of young Shae that led you to be this, you know, ambitious and successful person that you are right now.
3:12
SPEAKER_01: The mindset.
3:13
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
3:14
SPEAKER_01: What was growing up like when you for young Shay?
3:18
SPEAKER_04: Growing up was interesting.
3:20
SPEAKER_04: One thing I say that you know always stands out when I think of how I grew up is the fact that my mom is a business with Nigerian parlance, we'll say hustler, you know, she she loves her business.
3:36
SPEAKER_04: Coincidentally, she sells well, she yeah, she sells gold for you know decades.
3:40
SPEAKER_04: Okay, and but she also worked for the longest time with the government, you know.
3:46
SPEAKER_04: So she she actually had a day job and then she also had a business.
3:50
SPEAKER_04: And to me, growing up seeing that for the longest time, like this is how this is how everybody is, yeah, isn't it?
3:57
SPEAKER_04: You know, so it's so powerful.
3:58
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it's powerful who you grew up seeing and what you grew up, you know, seeing as normal.
4:04
SPEAKER_04: So that was normal to me.
4:05
SPEAKER_04: It was normal for you to get your own food, get your daily bread, and not depend on anyone, I mean, for what you would eat, where, how you'd look.
4:18
SPEAKER_04: So that was what growing up was like for me.
4:20
SPEAKER_04: So I couldn't wait to start to make my own.
4:23
SPEAKER_04: So even right from university, I'm like, you know, like I started selling, yeah, selling and all that.
4:28
SPEAKER_04: So that yeah, it's always been business for me.
4:30
SPEAKER_01: So that explains it because, like, you know, when you meet somebody and say, I'm a lawyer, that's enough.
4:36
SPEAKER_01: Like, being a lawyer is enough of I'm successful, but here you are with one success, adding another success, adding another success.
4:45
SPEAKER_01: Let's talk about the law journey though.
4:47
SPEAKER_01: What drew you to law?
4:48
SPEAKER_01: I was in grade at maths for starters, okay.
4:53
SPEAKER_04: And of course, I mean, I'm quite chatty, so even growing up, we'll be like, ah, you should be a lawyer, you should be a lawyer.
4:58
SPEAKER_04: And then when you look at it, okay.
5:00
SPEAKER_04: I talk, I I mean, in secondary school, I would I was taking courses like English literature, and I I remember a day there was the thought to write an essay or something, and a teacher walks into class, who owns this script?
5:13
SPEAKER_04: You know, and I'm like, Okay, it's mine, like you write amazing, like your mind that so I mean, I I could see that there was something about how I wrote, how I expressed myself, and I didn't see any any other course that would do justice to that, okay, and that would actually stretch my brain, and you know, it's prestigious enough, and it had to be law, okay.
5:36
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so then if we go from law, the next business I read about is completely different.
5:43
SPEAKER_01: Bland to glam.
5:45
SPEAKER_01: So from law to fashion, what what what's the correlation?
5:50
SPEAKER_01: How how did that come about?
5:51
SPEAKER_01: I love fashion.
5:52
SPEAKER_04: Okay, I can tell.
5:54
SPEAKER_04: I love fashion.
5:55
SPEAKER_04: Um, I like I said, I was selling selling things for money right from university, I think my year two or three in University of Lagos.
6:04
SPEAKER_04: I remember then one of the things that motivated me, I was in a carbox fellowship, and they said, Oh, we need to buy a keyboard, my fellowship then in school.
6:13
SPEAKER_04: And I'm like, ah, the money they're giving me from home was just barely enough to buy you know lunch every day.
6:18
SPEAKER_04: And I'm like, she you've got to do it, you need to make money.
6:20
SPEAKER_04: You know, I wanna I want to give to us this.
6:23
SPEAKER_04: And I I got introduced to an older lady who traveled often.
6:29
SPEAKER_04: I took the clothes, accessories, shoes, everything.
6:33
SPEAKER_04: Within in in two nights, it was all gone because once you walk in, I'll be like, I try this one.
6:39
SPEAKER_03: Oh, don't take it off, don't take it off.
6:41
SPEAKER_03: Oh, ooh, it looks so good, you know.
6:44
SPEAKER_03: So I always thought, well, you don't only sell with what you have, your mouth sells the product as well, you know.
6:49
SPEAKER_04: So so um it started from there, and then I finished you know, school, and I still wanted to sell, even though I I got a corporate job, I was reprised with the house copers.
7:01
SPEAKER_04: Uh, but I always thought to myself, I get home, what am I doing?
7:04
SPEAKER_04: Weekends, what am I doing?
7:06
SPEAKER_04: There's no conflict of interest.
7:08
SPEAKER_04: My job allowed me to explore things like fashion.
7:10
SPEAKER_04: So, hey, it looked like okay, let me just zone into one aspect, and it was jewelry for me.
7:17
SPEAKER_04: I enjoyed the jewelry aspect of things, selling of selling fashion.
7:21
SPEAKER_04: So I thought, okay, I could build something around this.
7:23
SPEAKER_04: Then online shopping was becoming a thing.
7:26
SPEAKER_04: I was like, I'll just build the online store and retail, you know, digitally and run, you know, build my career.
7:34
SPEAKER_04: But hey, look at us today.
7:36
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it's been 13 years.
7:39
SPEAKER_04: About 15, then about 15.
7:40
SPEAKER_04: Wow.
7:41
SPEAKER_04: About 15.
7:42
SPEAKER_04: And now we have over 30 people on the team.
7:46
SPEAKER_04: We have when about eight premium malls and locations nationwide.
7:52
SPEAKER_04: We we I mean, we're the we're the leaders when it comes to fashion jewelry, accessories, costume jewelry for men and women.
7:59
SPEAKER_04: So I'm excited, honestly.
8:01
SPEAKER_04: Anything can become something.
8:03
SPEAKER_01: Wow, like you're just an inspiration, honestly.
8:06
SPEAKER_03: I inspire myself.
8:10
SPEAKER_01: Okay, law working, fashion jewelry working.
8:15
SPEAKER_01: Where did deters come from?
8:17
SPEAKER_01: Deterred.
8:18
SPEAKER_04: Should I tell you about that?
8:19
SPEAKER_04: Yes, I had my first kid, okay, and when I was about to leave the um hospital, the this nurse said, uh be watching what you eat, oh, because anything you take is just going to go into your baby straight through your breast milk.
8:34
SPEAKER_04: I don't know that that traumatized me.
8:36
SPEAKER_04: I'm like, everything I eat gets into this child, and immediately I just remembered the uh water dispenser at home, and I started asking myself, when last did we even clean this thing?
8:46
SPEAKER_04: So I go home, I called the popular water dispenser company.
8:50
SPEAKER_04: Hello, could you come over to my house to clean?
8:53
SPEAKER_04: Like, hey, madam, bring it to our factory, some fat peace, bring it to our factory.
8:56
SPEAKER_04: That's the only way we can clean for you.
8:58
SPEAKER_04: We don't go to homes.
8:59
SPEAKER_04: I said, excuse me, I just came back from the hospital, I just had a baby.
9:03
SPEAKER_04: Auntie, bring it and just drop the phone.
9:08
SPEAKER_04: And you know, I just got angry, positive anger.
9:11
SPEAKER_04: Like, no, Nigerians can't be going through this.
9:13
SPEAKER_04: People should be able to sit in the comfort of their homes, offices, and call someone to disinfect, clean, and service their water dispenser.
9:20
SPEAKER_04: I said, you know what?
9:21
SPEAKER_04: I'm not doing much right now.
9:22
SPEAKER_04: Yes, I just go back from the hospital, I'll start this business.
9:25
SPEAKER_04: You know, I'll I'll start the business, and that was it.
9:27
SPEAKER_04: I I did my research, made the necessary, went for necessary trainings, and I there it was.
9:33
SPEAKER_04: I started because I felt Nigerians didn't deserve to be told to go to some fireplace to clean it.
9:39
SPEAKER_01: Just like that.
9:40
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, because the manufacturers of the dispensers actually say you should clean it every three months because once water is static, there's something something is going on, of course.
9:49
SPEAKER_04: Germs and all of that.
9:50
SPEAKER_01: Wait, when was the last time I cleaned my disposal?
9:52
SPEAKER_04: Oh, you see now, so you should thank me.
9:55
SPEAKER_04: I know it's definitely been more than three months, yes, yes, and it's it's sending people to the hospital a lot.
10:00
SPEAKER_04: I met so many people that you know they'll say the doctors um said it's the water dispenser they're using at home that caused the you know gastrointestinal issues, so it's it's actually a major issue, and um, I'm happy we get to raise that um awareness about it and then help you solve the problem.
10:16
SPEAKER_01: Please determine clean in Ghana.
10:18
SPEAKER_01: Welcoming.
10:19
SPEAKER_01: Okay, thank you.
10:23
SPEAKER_01: Okay, yeah.
10:25
SPEAKER_01: Then where did media come from?
10:28
SPEAKER_04: Honestly, I never saw myself in media, even though people tell me every time you're natural, you're natural.
10:34
SPEAKER_04: I'm like, mm-mm, you know, I just I always saw myself as a corporate-minded person.
10:41
SPEAKER_04: I don't want anybody to know me.
10:42
SPEAKER_04: I'm I still am very private, yes, even though I know I'm on TV, but yes, I am quite conservative and quiet.
10:51
SPEAKER_04: But um, I'd say blancam led me into media, it was in the process of building, you know, the brand.
10:57
SPEAKER_04: Like I said, we started off as an online store, but the numbers weren't adding up for me.
11:02
SPEAKER_04: I mean, I needed to pay the few people I I hired, it just wasn't giving kind of inspiration.
11:07
SPEAKER_04: The numbers were not inspiring me.
11:08
SPEAKER_04: And I thought, okay, let me part.
11:10
SPEAKER_04: I couldn't afford to rent a space, so I thought if I could partner with people that had good footfall, and then I give them some commission on every sale, I can boost my numbers.
11:19
SPEAKER_04: So I started walking, you know, walking up to you know the major stores, supermarkets, and all of that.
11:26
SPEAKER_04: So we then got into partnership with one of the major superstore spa, and they had various locations nationwide.
11:33
SPEAKER_04: And they said, Okay, Shay, we never used to have jewelry, maybe you need to make some noise so that people know they can find you with us.
11:41
SPEAKER_04: And I thought, oh, say no more.
11:43
SPEAKER_04: You know, I was used to always throwing fashion parties, you know, for blam to glam.
11:47
SPEAKER_04: It was a thing, they're pop-ups, this and that.
11:49
SPEAKER_04: So I just you know teamed up with my people.
11:51
SPEAKER_04: I said, Let's do something exciting.
11:53
SPEAKER_04: And then when they brought the budget, I'm like, oh, spend all of this just for people to dance and drink and eat my food.
11:58
SPEAKER_04: No, there has to be they have to live with something.
12:03
SPEAKER_04: I've always been very passionate about impacting people, they have to live with something.
12:06
SPEAKER_04: So I said, you know what, let's get some ladies, you know, successful ladies, we'll interview them during the party.
12:12
SPEAKER_04: There'll be a time where people sit down, listen to them, and then the party can continue, and we're all happy.
12:17
SPEAKER_04: And they're like, Okay, okay, Shay, what should we call the the event?
12:21
SPEAKER_04: I'm like, I don't know, but I'm just hearing game changers, game changers, game changers in my head.
12:26
SPEAKER_04: So then I said, Okay, Shay, let's call it an evening with game changers, and then that was the event to launch, you know, to announce our arrival at the at the store.
12:35
SPEAKER_04: And then on the day the lady organizing it for me, my PR then said, Shay, I didn't hire anybody to handle this interview.
12:42
SPEAKER_04: You are gonna do it.
12:42
SPEAKER_04: You're always hiding, and you talk very well.
12:44
SPEAKER_04: You're all the I'm like, stop, I don't put my face to the brand.
12:48
SPEAKER_04: The brand is the brand.
12:49
SPEAKER_04: I don't I went, I mean, it was too late.
12:52
SPEAKER_04: I had to do it, and when I was done, people said, Oh, this was different.
12:56
SPEAKER_04: Do you do this for a living?
12:57
SPEAKER_04: Oh, that that that I said, okay, that's fine.
13:00
SPEAKER_04: Can you get me all the rushes?
13:01
SPEAKER_04: Because you know, we had some people recording.
13:03
SPEAKER_04: Get me all the rushes.
13:04
SPEAKER_04: I got introduced to an editor, then he worked with Ebony Life.
13:07
SPEAKER_04: Then I said, You know what?
13:08
SPEAKER_04: Help me record this thing.
13:10
SPEAKER_04: I heard the interview is really good.
13:11
SPEAKER_04: I want to sell some CDs because then CDs were still a thing.
13:14
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I want to sell some CDs and maybe give out some.
13:16
SPEAKER_04: I mean, if it was that good, then more people should hear it.
13:19
SPEAKER_04: And then two, three days after he's calling me, I need to see you, I need to see shit.
13:23
SPEAKER_04: And then I'm like, What?
13:24
SPEAKER_04: I see him, he's like, Shay, there's something about you.
13:28
SPEAKER_04: You don't, I don't want you begging people to buy this CD.
13:31
SPEAKER_04: You should get into their homes, tell them what it is you want to see.
13:35
SPEAKER_04: What are you talking about?
13:36
SPEAKER_04: And it's like, yeah, that you're passionate about this success message, telling you know, this whole thing about getting people to succeed and you know live their best life.
13:47
SPEAKER_04: Why why do you why are all of you so comfortable with the musicians and you know all the entertainers alone being on screen?
13:56
SPEAKER_04: We need to see people like you.
13:58
SPEAKER_04: People need to see people like you.
13:59
SPEAKER_04: He went on and on and I was just looking at him.
14:02
SPEAKER_01: The best way to truly build wealth is over time with discipline and a system.
14:07
SPEAKER_01: Now I struggled with how to be able to invest until I found Achieve by Petra, which allowed me to deposit any amount at any time at my own convenience.
14:17
SPEAKER_01: So download Achieve by Petra now so you can join us on the journey to build wealth.
14:22
SPEAKER_01: And I now understand when I'm watching game changers on why it's so skewed towards pushing success.
14:28
SPEAKER_01: So is he the one who got you to put it out on TV?
14:31
SPEAKER_04: So yeah, well, then I mean he spoke and spoke, and when I got home, I told my husband, Can you imagine what this guy said?
14:39
SPEAKER_04: Don't mind him.
14:40
SPEAKER_04: He said this, he said that, and I mean my husband is very quiet.
14:44
SPEAKER_04: When I was done talking, he said, He's right, you're natural.
14:46
SPEAKER_04: And I'm like, I thought he was gonna discourage me.
14:49
SPEAKER_04: And I just told myself, you know what?
14:51
SPEAKER_04: I don't want to be 70 years old, and I watch someone, you know, interviewing people, and I and I tell myself, hmm, they told me to do that thing, and nah nah nah nah nah.
15:01
SPEAKER_04: I'd rather do it, fail, and move on to the next thing.
15:04
SPEAKER_04: And I I called him, I'm like, let's do it.
15:06
SPEAKER_04: I'll I'll do one season and you leave me alone.
15:10
SPEAKER_04: And here we are.
15:11
SPEAKER_04: Thank you.
15:12
SPEAKER_04: 10 years later.
15:14
SPEAKER_04: So, how did it go?
15:15
SPEAKER_04: When when you started, how did the world receive it?
15:18
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, so we filmed season one of Being June with game changers.
15:22
SPEAKER_04: I didn't want it to be online alone because I felt the stories were so powerful, and I felt people outside Lagos, you know, the the less developed part of Nigeria needed to hear these stories, so they know that anything is possible right here in Nigeria and Africa.
15:40
SPEAKER_04: So I thought, okay, a friend was able to help me get it on Africa Magic Family.
15:47
SPEAKER_04: So we started on YouTube and African Magic Family, and then people supposed to call me.
15:52
SPEAKER_04: Oh my gosh, hey, the interview.
15:54
SPEAKER_04: Oh wow, I've decided to do this, I've decided to resign, I've decided to start this business.
16:00
SPEAKER_04: They're thinking, wow, this is powerful.
16:02
SPEAKER_04: Like it's it's a shaping mind.
16:05
SPEAKER_04: And I'm like, no, we need to get it on the big biggest of stations, more people, more numbers.
16:12
SPEAKER_04: And then just we just started increasing the stations.
16:16
SPEAKER_04: Went on the largest, our largest network, the national network, NTA, all the big stations basically on cable and terrestrial.
16:24
SPEAKER_04: And that was it.
16:26
SPEAKER_04: It was, and of course, for everywhere we went on, people are getting back to us.
16:31
SPEAKER_04: Oh my gosh, the stories I'm changed, I'm transformed, I'm challenged to be successful.
16:37
SPEAKER_04: And it's been that from then up till now for every every show we release.
16:41
SPEAKER_01: You know, it's so funny that a lot of people think that people don't want to hear this kind of content.
16:48
SPEAKER_01: People mostly think, oh, they just want entertainment and maybe sports a bit.
16:52
SPEAKER_01: But it looks like a lot of people are trying to figure out their lives and they are looking for role models, they're looking for mentors from a distance.
17:01
SPEAKER_01: And the more we have these kind of conversations, the more we empower people out there to come and fill our shoes and encourage the next one, and it becomes it becomes a cycle.
17:10
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, because you become what you see, right?
17:12
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, especially what you see consistently, and that's why for me it was very important that I kept my shows on television all year round.
17:21
SPEAKER_04: Of course, we started with just airing a season 13 weeks and then we turn the lights off.
17:26
SPEAKER_04: But nah, I said if I'm gonna change this nation, if I'm gonna get people to start thinking more about success, and then every weekend they need to tune in.
17:35
SPEAKER_04: I know that I'll be there in whichever form, and I'll show them, give them another reason, you know, why they need to be successful.
17:43
SPEAKER_04: So we become what we see.
17:46
SPEAKER_04: It's that's just life.
17:48
SPEAKER_04: We are we love stories, we we are created to enjoy storytelling and listening to someone's story, watching someone's story.
17:56
SPEAKER_04: I mean, there's nothing more powerful.
17:59
SPEAKER_01: Now let's jump into it.
18:00
SPEAKER_01: You know, you have a lot of knowledge from the 10 years of talking to aside you, other successful people.
18:07
SPEAKER_01: What would you say are the common traits between successful people that you've met?
18:13
SPEAKER_04: Good question.
18:15
SPEAKER_04: They're definitely very time conscious, they value their time.
18:20
SPEAKER_04: Um, successful people are reliable.
18:25
SPEAKER_04: Reliable.
18:25
SPEAKER_04: I don't know any show that we filmed because usually, I mean, we when we're filming any of our show, I mean, now we don't just have binge with game changers, I must say.
18:34
SPEAKER_04: We yeah, we have cooking with game changers, we have chattered accounts, which is a Gen Z show, but it's also successful.
18:41
SPEAKER_04: So there's my podcast breaking things down with Shabanibe.
18:44
SPEAKER_04: And we recently went into Ghana, we created Cooking with Game Changers.
18:48
SPEAKER_04: Ghana, thank you very much.
18:49
SPEAKER_04: You're welcome, yeah.
18:51
SPEAKER_04: But I tell you, both in Nigeria, Ghana, everywhere I've been, I find that when the game changer says, Okay, I'll be there, yeah, they sure.
19:01
SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
19:03
SPEAKER_01: And it's so beautiful, you know.
19:04
SPEAKER_01: I was telling my team, because we've been in Nigeria shooting for about four days, and not a single guest has been here even one minute late.
19:17
SPEAKER_01: Not a single guest, like every person has worst case scenario, been here five minutes before.
19:23
SPEAKER_01: I've had guests come sit down and wait for the next guest and everything.
19:27
SPEAKER_01: And you know, when you talk to people who are doing production, one of the things you hear the most is lateness.
19:34
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but I find I don't have that problem.
19:36
SPEAKER_04: I can't relate either because I talk to business people.
19:39
SPEAKER_04: Thank you, they value their time, and yes, and it's a sign of respect, actually.
19:47
SPEAKER_04: They want you to respect them, and you also need to respect.
19:49
SPEAKER_04: Although we know how production can be sometimes because yeah, when you're filming, we may take a bit more time, but they see why.
19:55
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, but they would always come in early.
19:58
SPEAKER_04: Um, I find that successful people usually they don't give up easily.
20:01
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, resilience.
20:03
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah.
20:04
SPEAKER_04: Because for almost every story you hear, they didn't make it at you know, the first time they tried.
20:09
SPEAKER_04: There's always that, oh, I was rejected, oh, I was told I, you know, there's always stuff, but did they get back up?
20:15
SPEAKER_04: Yes, yeah, you know, the and yeah, I mean, that's what comes to mind, but there's so many other things that cut across all of the successful people, and yes, they they I would say that they believe in themselves, even with their even though afraid, you know, because people look at successful people and think, oh, this one she's so confident, he's so confident.
20:37
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you know, they just try to peg something, oh, is the family is from is the this is from generational wealth, yes, because he's fine, it's because he's short, he's tall, they just are crazy enough to believe in their vision, in their idea, in themselves, and they are they they are ready to laugh at themselves, they are ready to fail, they're not taking themselves too so so serious, you know.
21:07
SPEAKER_04: They're not how do I put it now?
21:09
SPEAKER_04: You get what I'm trying to say, it's not that deep.
21:11
SPEAKER_04: Okay, what would then happen?
21:13
SPEAKER_04: We'll fail, we'll get back up and keep going.
21:15
SPEAKER_04: Thank you.
21:15
SPEAKER_04: You know, this is that some people will say, Ah, what if, what if, what if it doesn't work out so well?
21:21
SPEAKER_04: At least I tried.
21:22
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, that's better than not trying.
21:24
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so hey, and I think that thing is ingrained.
21:27
SPEAKER_01: You know, when I even heard you came to Ghana to come and shoot, I was like, Yeah, that's a successful woman.
21:32
SPEAKER_01: Because I'm doing well in my country, why not go to another country?
21:37
SPEAKER_01: Like, we see a lot of multinationals, and people don't understand that's how it started.
21:43
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm doing well in Lagos, why not open an Abuja?
21:46
SPEAKER_01: Okay, Abuja did well, why not go to Accra?
21:49
SPEAKER_01: Okay, why not go to Kenya?
21:50
SPEAKER_04: And then it keeps growing like it's a multinational brand, whether you like it or not.
21:54
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I think most people are waiting for the permission, or you know, and it's
22:00
SPEAKER_04: Anything there's anything I've always just told I've to always told myself is if one person could do it why can't I?
22:08
SPEAKER_04: They don't have two heads or two noses, yeah.
22:11
SPEAKER_04: So yeah, nothing there's not I mean I'll knock on the door.
22:14
SPEAKER_04: They say you can't come in, I'll go back, then I'll come back in a year's time.
22:17
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you know, and I'll keep knocking, you know, till you open it.
22:21
SPEAKER_01: And it it doesn't happen without you trying.
22:24
SPEAKER_01: You know, for those watching, this is my first time meeting her.
22:27
SPEAKER_01: I don't know her from anywhere.
22:29
SPEAKER_01: All I had to do was try.
22:31
SPEAKER_01: All she could have said was no.
22:34
SPEAKER_01: And then, like you said, next time I come to Nigeria, I'll be like, I'm back again.
22:37
SPEAKER_01: Oh, can I some people will even take offense?
22:40
SPEAKER_01: Why are you upset?
22:41
SPEAKER_04: No.
22:42
SPEAKER_04: Person doesn't owe you a yes.
22:43
SPEAKER_04: If they said no, it's no.
22:44
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, then you come back again.
22:46
SPEAKER_04: Has it changed?
22:47
SPEAKER_04: I might just get a yesterday.
22:49
SPEAKER_01: I I I planned on doing between 12 to 15 interviews when I come to Nigeria.
22:56
SPEAKER_01: So I reached out to I think about 120 people.
23:00
SPEAKER_01: As it should be, because they will say no.
23:02
SPEAKER_01: And what is wrong with the person saying no?
23:05
SPEAKER_02: Nothing.
23:06
SPEAKER_01: Some people weren't available, some people said oh, they don't want to be too public.
23:11
SPEAKER_01: You know, everybody had their reason, and that is fine.
23:14
SPEAKER_01: I've also said no to people.
23:16
SPEAKER_01: So it's not that deep.
23:20
SPEAKER_01: Life isn't that hard.
23:23
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
23:23
SPEAKER_01: How about you?
23:25
SPEAKER_01: What gives you your drive to keep going?
23:28
SPEAKER_01: Because from business to business, success to success, you wake up every morning and decide to be excellent all over again.
23:36
SPEAKER_01: What gives you that drive?
23:39
SPEAKER_04: Um, I say I'd say first of all, I I always say something, I want to die empty.
23:44
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
23:44
SPEAKER_04: I want to die empty.
23:46
SPEAKER_04: I I mean, if an idea pops into my head or I get really passionate about a problem I want to solve, just do it.
23:54
SPEAKER_04: What's the worst?
23:55
SPEAKER_04: I'll feel, but what if I make it?
23:57
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
23:58
SPEAKER_04: You know, so that that that that I I just want to express everything that I've been gifted with.
24:04
SPEAKER_04: You know, um I don't want to leave the world the same way I met it.
24:09
SPEAKER_04: And I find I find that the more I give the world what I have on the inside, the happier I am, the more fulfilled I am.
24:19
SPEAKER_04: So it's actually a win-win.
24:21
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it's not like I'm only doing stuff for people, it's doing something for me too.
24:25
SPEAKER_04: You know, and yeah, he's giving me money.
24:30
SPEAKER_04: La genre, la jre.
24:32
SPEAKER_04: So, you know, it's it's it's it's it's not easy.
24:35
SPEAKER_04: I'm not gonna say it's a walk in the park, yeah, but you know, fulfilling purpose, doing what you're wired to do, what you're made to do is one of the biggest blessings ever, you know, in the world.
24:46
SPEAKER_04: So, hey, why not?
24:48
SPEAKER_01: You know, before the conversation, before the cameras came on, I asked you a question because I was looking at your portfolio and I was thinking, where do I even concentrate?
24:57
SPEAKER_01: Because you've done so much, and I asked you that.
25:00
SPEAKER_01: What would you say is the one thing in everything that you've done that matters the most to you?
25:05
SPEAKER_01: And you mentioned impact.
25:07
SPEAKER_01: Can you explain that to me?
25:09
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it's my impact work that I'd say ranks number one.
25:13
SPEAKER_04: Okay, because I don't think there's anything stronger than changing a life.
25:20
SPEAKER_04: Because that that because that life, you don't know what will become of that life.
25:24
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you know, when people watch our shows and you know, they some some people come on social media and say things like, Oh my gosh, I just want to be like this person I just watched.
25:34
SPEAKER_04: Some will say, Ah, so this woman has a master's, I'm I'm registering for my master's tomorrow.
25:39
SPEAKER_04: You know, or say they say things like, Man, I'm challenged.
25:43
SPEAKER_04: I mean, my work is done.
25:44
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, like that's it.
25:46
SPEAKER_04: Just know that you are made for more.
25:48
SPEAKER_04: You know, there's so much on your inside, like bless the world with it.
25:54
SPEAKER_04: You know, so I forgot your question.
25:55
SPEAKER_04: What's the question?
25:57
SPEAKER_01: So, my my question is why impact?
26:00
SPEAKER_01: Why is it so important to you?
26:01
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:02
SPEAKER_04: So, so so I mean, I just I I do get a lot of fulfillment.
26:09
SPEAKER_04: I think I'm wired for it.
26:10
SPEAKER_04: I love to educate, I love to inspire.
26:14
SPEAKER_04: I see every I believe that no one was created empty.
26:20
SPEAKER_04: I feel I I I know and I'm convinced that there's magic in everyone.
26:25
SPEAKER_04: Everyone has a gift, everyone is good at something.
26:29
SPEAKER_04: So when I see anyone and they are acting like they're just acting regular.
26:33
SPEAKER_04: Ah, no.
26:34
SPEAKER_04: Nobody is regular, nobody is is is made.
26:38
SPEAKER_04: No, no, no.
26:39
SPEAKER_04: Yes, not everyone would be at the forefront, not everyone would be on screen, but everyone is special.
26:45
SPEAKER_04: There's something that each person can do that nobody else can do it the way that person would do it.
26:51
SPEAKER_04: So I'm very passionate about everybody finding their their magic, their juzge, their, you know, and it might be just you being good at serving food.
27:02
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it might be the way you make your the your red red.
27:08
SPEAKER_04: Let me let me go to the Ghanaian thing.
27:11
SPEAKER_04: Thank you.
27:11
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, so sometimes it's not even anything out of this world, though.
27:16
SPEAKER_04: Just just find what makes you tick and what people say you are amazing at, but make sure, of course, your family's fed.
27:23
SPEAKER_04: Because I'm also not of the school of thought that oh, because you are very good at something and you're passionate about something, you keep chasing it, and then your kids or your family or you are hungry.
27:32
SPEAKER_04: No, yeah.
27:33
SPEAKER_04: First of all, you know what?
27:34
SPEAKER_04: Get pay your bills, it's important, but also give life to that thing that you're passionate about.
27:40
SPEAKER_04: Very important.
27:41
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, it's so funny that every successful person you talk to, and even the more successful people become, the more they want to serve and give back.
27:51
SPEAKER_01: And I think most people don't get that.
27:54
SPEAKER_01: That um in trying to chase success, a lot of people try and serve themselves, not understanding the fact that real success comes when you are serving others, when your goal is others, it's like the universe conspires to help you.
28:12
SPEAKER_04: And it reminds me, because I remember when when I I I got so excited about my show, my first show, Benji with Game Changes, and I told myself, oh my gosh, it has to be on all the stations.
28:22
SPEAKER_04: Everybody needs to hear these stories.
28:24
SPEAKER_04: If if they are as powerful as people say they are, and then I did, you know, I would I it took so much from me getting it into stations, and then I didn't realize that what I had just done was the was the key to getting the biggest brands to partner, to advertise on the show.
28:43
SPEAKER_04: Because for them, okay, they want their message in every state, every nook and cranny of the nation.
28:49
SPEAKER_04: But I was chasing visibility and reach, like to get the show watched in every place for impact.
28:57
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, but because I wanted to impact that you know, helpless young person in Zamfara, Edo, all the states, I realized the brands that say, Yes, why not?
29:09
SPEAKER_04: We want to advertise.
29:10
SPEAKER_04: So you're saying that if we put our advert on this show, if you're drinking this drink, everybody's gonna watch you doing it on every every station in every state in Nigeria, then please take our money.
29:21
SPEAKER_01: Interesting.
29:21
SPEAKER_01: See, you didn't change the money, the money changed.
29:24
SPEAKER_03: Oh well, I mean, it's a two-way street.
29:26
SPEAKER_04: You also have to knock on some doors, but you you get my point, it then makes the conversation easier.
29:32
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, but it started from me wanting to give people the gift of our show, the gift of people's stories, how they made it, how how they handled their mistakes, and it that and that has always moved us closer to better business deals, advertising deals with the brands because we're doing good work.
29:54
SPEAKER_01: Anyone who knew me before Mastermind, you know that I've spent the past 20 years dedicating my life to bringing you the best music and the best sound, and now I put those years of experience into creating a way that you can experience that sound, and that's why we've brought you the Lynx Reverb headphones and the Lynx Octave Portable Speaker so that you can enjoy crisp sound with premium quality.
30:18
SPEAKER_01: Let's talk about your mistakes.
30:19
SPEAKER_01: What are some of the things that you felt you were not going to be able to overcome but you're still standing?
30:25
SPEAKER_01: Hmm.
30:26
SPEAKER_01: So many.
30:28
SPEAKER_01: Where did I start from?
30:30
SPEAKER_04: Where did I start from?
30:31
SPEAKER_04: I mean, I do want to what what which of the businesses now?
30:36
SPEAKER_01: Let's do one for each business.
30:37
SPEAKER_04: So let's take law first.
30:39
SPEAKER_04: For law, hmm.
30:41
SPEAKER_04: I remember when when when when I first started my legal career, I started my first job was with Pricewater House Copers.
30:49
SPEAKER_04: I was in the tax and corporate advisory unit.
30:51
SPEAKER_04: And um I was always told then, ah, she you need to sound more, you know, more like a lawyer when you write.
31:03
SPEAKER_04: And and that that used to worry me.
31:05
SPEAKER_04: Like, but I I mean I tell stories well, I don't know.
31:09
SPEAKER_04: But I I I I was made to see that there's a way to sound when you are trying to win win an argument, when you are trying to make the opponent, you know, there's just a way to sound as a lawyer.
31:21
SPEAKER_04: And for me, I'm like, I I I can be when when people get to really know me, I can be the most playful human being you you you you encounter.
31:31
SPEAKER_04: So the the ability to balance that, like, okay, even though I'm I know it, I know what I want to say, I know how to put my you know points through points through, but that ability to sound, yeah, in a way, uh, I worked at it, oh my gosh, you know, so I then had to sit down, I'd watch CNN, read business books.
31:54
SPEAKER_04: You know, I had to immerse myself in business content because I had to sound like a business corporate lawyer.
32:01
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, that was it was a lot for me because all my all my life before then I invested most of my energy into I won't like fashion and entertainment content.
32:12
SPEAKER_04: I've just always been naturally that's what you know got my attention.
32:16
SPEAKER_04: So it was it was it was a lot, and I'm happy, you know.
32:19
SPEAKER_04: Five years down the line, you know, I was working with a senior um lawyer and see I love the way you write, your mails, your letters.
32:29
SPEAKER_04: You can't imagine, you know.
32:30
SPEAKER_04: So there's something people just thought you just yes, yes, yes, yes.
32:38
SPEAKER_04: So that's that that was yeah, my legal career.
32:40
SPEAKER_04: That there's that for blunt to glam.
32:44
SPEAKER_04: There was this thing, and it still happens, right?
32:47
SPEAKER_04: The average person, especially when we're younger, when when they travel abroad, everybody comes back with oh, I'm selling, I'm not selling jewelry, yeah, I'm not selling this.
32:55
SPEAKER_04: I don't know if you think about that.
32:57
SPEAKER_04: Oh, I have shoes for sale, I have that for sale.
32:59
SPEAKER_04: And I remember so many times I'll tell friends and people, oh, I have a jewelry business.
33:03
SPEAKER_04: They will laugh, everybody sells jewelry.
33:05
SPEAKER_04: What's doing you business are you?
33:07
SPEAKER_04: You know, like get serious, Joe.
33:09
SPEAKER_04: Which other business are you?
33:11
SPEAKER_04: They're like, no, my business.
33:13
SPEAKER_04: I'm running a jewelry, jewelry brand is a business for years.
33:17
SPEAKER_04: People didn't take me serious, especially my corporate friends, you know, because you know, I have that double life.
33:23
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, they're thinking because some we would have how many people are buying jewelry?
33:27
SPEAKER_04: Who is buying jewelry?
33:28
SPEAKER_04: But everybody's buying jewelry, that's what they forget.
33:30
SPEAKER_04: I mean, that's that's what you see.
33:32
SPEAKER_04: But some people look at you and they're thinking jewelry.
33:35
SPEAKER_04: Because to them, they're thinking, I don't buy that much.
33:38
SPEAKER_04: But now, I mean, I mean, we sell, we sell to thousands, we sell thousands of you know, I mean, people buy this thing.
33:46
SPEAKER_04: Also, of course, it's been years of understanding what people want, yeah, evolving from selling to just women to now men, you know, expanding our reach into malls.
33:55
SPEAKER_04: You so we are not just selling jewelry, we're also selling comfort, accessibility, you know, getting into premium malls across Nigeria so that people just they drive into the the mall, park, you know, ease, walk into the air conditioned space, they get jewelry that before now they would have had to order from somewhere in Europe or the US, and we give them all of that.
34:19
SPEAKER_04: You know, it's it's exciting to see that we're making loads, loads of thousands of people happy every month across Nigeria.
34:26
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, okay.
34:27
SPEAKER_04: Now let's go to deterge.
34:29
SPEAKER_04: Deterge, hmm.
34:30
SPEAKER_04: I mean, with with that one, it was safety, I would say, was a concern.
34:36
SPEAKER_04: And safety of my staff.
34:38
SPEAKER_04: You know, because at a point when we started, I used to hire male, female.
34:43
SPEAKER_04: I had to stop hiring female, female, female technicians because there was a time someone went into a house.
34:52
SPEAKER_04: We you know, you're starting a business, you didn't even think that.
34:54
SPEAKER_04: Why would you call us to come service your dispenser and then you'll you want to touch my staff?
34:59
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you know, but you know, you live and learn.
35:02
SPEAKER_04: So at that point, I'm like, no, I'm not gonna put anybody's child through that, you know, because once thankfully the house, the person wasn't alone at home, so the person couldn't get aggressive or anything.
35:11
SPEAKER_04: The moment I heard that, I'm like, I'm hiring only men.
35:15
SPEAKER_04: Unfortunately, we were having a meeting some months back, and my team was saying they want to molest our male technicians too.
35:24
SPEAKER_04: The world has changed.
35:25
SPEAKER_04: It's no more the women equality, equality went the other direction instead of stopping the attack on not hiring females, not sending females out to clean in homes and you know, offices are even okay because there's usually many people, but we do a lot, we service a lot of homes.
35:47
SPEAKER_04: To think that the these young guys are being told, come and touch me.
35:51
SPEAKER_04: But it is well.
35:55
SPEAKER_01: At least we are glad that we're getting equality in the world.
35:58
SPEAKER_01: Don't stop.
36:00
SPEAKER_04: But I mean, thank God, thank thankfully, men are always strong, you know.
36:04
SPEAKER_04: So it doesn't bother me as much.
36:06
SPEAKER_04: You know, you tell a man because you will punch each other, someone will win, and then you go home.
36:10
SPEAKER_04: So it doesn't bother me much.
36:11
SPEAKER_04: But safety was always and it's still a concern.
36:15
SPEAKER_04: And media, we all know you're in media.
36:18
SPEAKER_04: I mean, it's a money, it's it's whether you like it or not, to create good media is expensive.
36:23
SPEAKER_04: Very expensive, good shows.
36:25
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you I don't have to say much, you know.
36:27
SPEAKER_04: So for every time I'm I'm filming, and I don't know how to do less than excellent.
36:33
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it's so it's it's it's it's it's it's just a lot, you know, having to, and as much as I mean, I may I may come off as chatty, but having to engage brands, have meetings, so we will do this, that, that it's not, it's not the most fun thing for me, I'll be honest.
36:50
SPEAKER_04: I just want to just tell me to interview, stand up and go.
36:54
SPEAKER_04: You know, the life of a creative, if you're an actor, you just want to act and get out.
36:58
SPEAKER_04: But where you have to sit with, you know, have start to have money discussions.
37:02
SPEAKER_04: I'd rather not.
37:03
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I'd rather not.
37:04
SPEAKER_01: But if you don't do it, you can't.
37:06
SPEAKER_04: I'm the executive producer, I'm the founder, I'm not just a talent.
37:11
SPEAKER_04: So I always have to have those conversations because it doesn't just stop at yes, they know they'll get value, but then no, you have to give us a discount.
37:19
SPEAKER_04: Oh, this dah, that you know, it's it's exhausting, but we have to do it.
37:25
SPEAKER_04: You shoulder through no matter what.
37:26
SPEAKER_04: I mean, a lot of times you have to do what you don't like to to then to get what you like or do what you like.
37:31

37:34
SPEAKER_01: I know, yeah.
37:37
SPEAKER_01: Okay, you mentioned that you want to make impact.
37:42
SPEAKER_01: What do you feel like you want your legacy to be?
37:46
SPEAKER_04: What do you want people to remember you for the most that Shay Banibe gave people a reason to live, a reason to live their fullest life, a reason to chase uh chase success and reach it and attain it.
38:08
SPEAKER_04: Um, yeah, and the the fact that I was able to connect them with minds that challenged them, instructed them, taught them how to do what they needed to do to get success.
38:21
SPEAKER_04: You know, the the the the I want people to remember me, you know, to for to to to have been someone that gave them a reason to dream, believe in themselves, and you know, just live out their potential.
38:34
SPEAKER_04: That that is so important to me.
38:35

39:03
SPEAKER_04: Okay.
39:04
SPEAKER_04: African countries are beckoning.
39:06
SPEAKER_04: I'm excited, you know, because I I do understand the power in somebody watching a story or listening to the growth story of someone that looks like him, lives in the same locality, yeah, is facing the same local challenges.
39:25
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you know, because human beings are default.
39:28
SPEAKER_04: The default mode of each person is to quickly give an excuse why they can't do things or why they can't be like what they are saying.
39:35
SPEAKER_04: But when I when I show you somebody that, in fact, you probably know his mother's house, you know where he grew up, then you don't have too many excuses, you must make it.
39:43
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, so I I definitely want to take this message, this, this, this TV format, and uh because what we do, I I I say that what we do is actually mentorship.
39:53
SPEAKER_04: We are mentoring people via the shows through people's stories, yeah, and we also provide mentorship.
40:00
SPEAKER_04: We also provide one-on-one mentorship.
40:03
SPEAKER_04: We give people the opportunity to also interact with the people, yeah, you know, on the show, and even other successful people that are not on the show.
40:11
SPEAKER_04: So I like to say that we connect people with successful minds, and we okay, and and what mentorship does is it helps people move forward faster.
40:18
SPEAKER_04: So it's really taking all of this inspirational um content, the framework, the structure, the four of TV formats, you know, getting it into more cities, more countries, and raising an army of Africans that do not that will not tolerate failure.
40:38
SPEAKER_01: I love it.

40:53

40:56
SPEAKER_04: For everyone that you see that is not from Africa that comes to say they're gonna help you, they're taking something away.

41:59
SPEAKER_04: Of course, each country, we all have our respective strengths.
42:02

43:10
SPEAKER_04: It might be something you need to go do as an employee in an organization.

43:24
