We hear that ego and emotional management is an important part of the job, what has been your own experience? next? How else can I bring value to the industry? I knew I would like to be involved in the creative industry ecosystem and Nigerian talent was growing at an accelerated rate, but its support system was almost non-existent; I saw an opportunity for creative talent representation and embarked on it with a close friend who is now a politician.
I treasure peace of mind and my faith and loved ones come to mind topmost. The promise of tomorrow and the fact that nothing can stop your dreams from coming true; make this journey called life worth it.Asides the lack of a system that works, most probably the fact that you constantly have to explain your vision; it has gotten a lot better these days but a lot of people don’t understand what we do or its importance.
