What does it really take to build something the world can’t ignore?

In this episode of The Lone Wolf Podcast, DJ Obi, artist, musician, and creator of Obi’s House, breaks down what it means to carry light, protect it, and build from purpose when no one else understands the vision.

From learning to DJ in university because he needed money, to setting a Guinness World Record for the longest continuous set, to creating a cultural movement that redefined Lagos nightlife — Obi’s story is a blueprint for anyone chasing purpose over applause.

We talk about the evolution from hunger to legacy: God as compass, the weight of discipline, losing friends in pursuit of focus, rebuilding after burnout, and learning that creativity cannot be caged.He shares lessons on loyalty, adulting, money, boundaries, and why you must never underestimate the light you carry.

Because when your life is built on purpose — the noise fades, the right people return, and your story speaks louder than the crowd ever could.

What do you do when grief, heartbreak, and debt collide?

For Toks Ayinla, the answer was RootWork — the goal-setting technique she created at her lowest point that became the blueprint for rebuilding her life.

After losing her father, ending an eight-year relationship, and walking away from a career in wealth management that left her in debt, Toks decided to start again. What followed was a journey of radical resilience: clearing $30,000 in debt, self-publishing Through My Brown Eyes (an Amazon bestseller), landing a global modeling campaign, and coaching for the Basketball Africa League.

In this episode, Nicole and Toks unpack the exact steps she took to transform loss into momentum. From developing RootWork to learning how to ask for help, this conversation is both a playbook and a reminder: starting over isn’t the end — it’s the beginning of the life you were meant to build.

What would you do if God told you to quit your job — for a whole year?In this raw and unfiltered episode of The Lone Wolf Podcast, Funmbi Ogunbanwo — CEO & Co-Founder of Fatherland Productions — shares the story nobody expects from a woman at the top.She studied law. She tried modeling. She stumbled into production. Before long, she was running projects for Google across Africa. The hustle was endless… until God gave her the wildest instruction: stop working.For 12 months, she journaled, cooked, reflected — and simply lived. No paycheck. No hustle. Just obedience. That pause became the launchpad for everything that followed.Today, Funmbi is a globally recognized producer behind award-winning films like Lizard and Of My Father’s Shadow — with My Father’s Shadow making history as the first Nigerian film to premiere at Cannes and receiving the Special Mention for the Caméra d’Or.This episode isn’t just about faith. It’s about trust, surrender, and the courage to step off the treadmill everyone else is running on. Sometimes the biggest leap forward begins with a stop.

What do you hold onto when the path you’ve chosen suddenly closes?

In this episode, Nollywood star Bucci Franklin opens up about the hard truths of his journey: how a denied visa ended his Hollywood plans, the realities of starting out with little to lean on, and why his only option was to believe in God.

He shares what it means to walk the creative path with conviction — from finding his footing in AY’s Crib, to making his mark with films like Rattlesnake and The Waiter, to his method approach in bringing Oboz to life in Netflix’s To Kill a Monkey. Bucci reflects on the discipline behind his craft, the courage to turn down opportunities that didn’t align, and his decision to embrace sobriety as part of living and working with integrity.

This conversation goes beyond acting. It’s about faith as a compass, resilience as a practice, and the creative journey as the place where identity, discipline, and purpose collide.

What does it take to turn nothing into everything?

Polygon founder Taiwo Adeyemi walked away from university, left the safety of his parents’ home in Ibadan, and started over in Lagos with no plan B — just an unshakable belief in himself.

From failed artist to graphic designer, ad man to industry broker, he hustled his way into multi-million naira deals and, in 2025, became one of just 30 Skoll Fellows in the world.

It began with a signed undertaking to his family that he was going his own way, come what may — and the discovery of The Virgin Way and Richard Branson’s dropout story. Fueled by the certainty that failure wasn’t an option, Taiwo proves self-belief can turn the impossible into inevitable.
