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.
