How to Navigate Your Career with Curiosity and Innovation - With Tosin Lanipekun

Black Rise

When Tosin Lanipekun shares his narrative, it's one that resonates deeply with the spirit of tenacity and the art of connecting dots from a diverse past. The co-founder of Image and Time and host of the Ready Next Podcast walks us through his Nigerian roots, his mother's profound influence, and a life sculpted by resilience and persistence. It's a tale that celebrates the essence of Black Rice's endeavor to link businesses with the remarkable talents within the Black community, all while applauding the individual stories that forge the leaders of today.
Have you ever wondered what it's like to balance the binary worlds of IT and creativity, or how student politics and entrepreneurship can converge within the halls of a university? I, your host, reminisce about my own journey at Obafemi Awolowo University, navigating the realms of architecture, music, and early business ventures. This episode is not just about recounting past experiences; it's a shared space where we embrace the wisdom of collaboration and the creative spirit that ignites the future.
As we wrap up our discussion with Tosin, we cast an eye towards the evolving relationship between technology, business, and human imperfection. We uncover the transformative potential of embracing our flaws in an age of technological precision, and how this paradox can enhance creativity. Lastly, we extend an open invitation to you, our listeners, to be a part of the legacy that Black Rice is nurturing—a legacy rooted in excellence, motivation, and the collective drive for a brighter future. Join us on this voyage of discovery and be inspired by the potential that lies within each story, each challenge, and each triumph.
