In this soul-stirring episode of Listen To Your Footsteps, Kojo Baffoe sits down with creative entrepreneur and cultural producer Theresho Selesho for a masterclass in navigating life at the intersection of culture, commerce, and community.
From his early days rolling cables in church to producing global music festivals and exhibitions, Theresho shares how a love for creativity evolved into a powerful career of building spaces, both physical and emotional, that connect people, ideas, and purpose. As the CEO of Matchbox Live and founder of Sho-Sho Communications, he opens up about what it truly means to build your own properties, create long-term value, and design a life that aligns with your spirit.
Listeners will discover the importance of structure in creative entrepreneurship, the emotional intelligence needed to manage high-profile talent and stakeholders, and how to navigate ego, purpose, and growth with intention. But this isn’t just a conversation about business. It’s also a raw, deeply personal look at fatherhood, partnership, and redefining success on your own terms.
Some key insights include:
Why every creative needs to start with their first 15 supporters
The difference between building for your children versus building in front of them
How to protect your energy and establish boundaries in a world of hypervisibility
The art of moving with or without external validation
Theresho’s philosophy is grounded, practical, and quietly revolutionary. He reminds us that the real work is not just building platforms, but engineering lives of meaning, for ourselves and the generations to come.
Whether you’re a young creative, a seasoned entrepreneur, a parent, or someone seeking clarity on your path, this episode offers a wealth of resonance and practical wisdom.
