"I left Ilorin with a single, minded focus; I dey go Lagos, honestly... I remember that it was late, it was raining; I symbolically actually said, hey guys, I'll see you later. Almost like just saying, guys, hey, I'm going for my dreams. That's how I came to Lagos on my own. The only things I came with were my credentials and my dreams." - Yemi Faseun
Yemi Faseun, "YF" as he's fondly called, is a Senior Human Resources (HR) Executive with over 20 years' experience across the banking, telecommunication, and management consulting sectors. He is currently the Head of HR at Globacom Nigeria, a telecommunications firm, and has actually led a nomadic career life, being on his 11th job.
On this episode, we explore YF's early years, his desire to be successful which was driven by a great fear of failure, his journey to Lagos in pursuit of his dreams, as well as his political naiveté lesson.
