  • The Moments That Made Me | Dr. Olamide’s Career Journey

    The Moments That Made Me | Dr. Olamide’s Career Journey
    Jun 13 2025
    In this episode, I’m joined once again by Dr. Olamide Okulaja, brilliant, thoughtful, and deeply grounded as we trace the arc of his remarkable career journey. From medical school to leading health policy conversations on the continent, Olamide opens up about the defining choices, mentors, and “sliding door” moments that shaped who he is today.
    We talk about what it’s like to occupy prestigious, high-stakes spaces as an African professional, often one of the few in the room, and the inner negotiation that comes with that. Olamide shares how he’s learned to move through self-doubt, not by pretending it doesn’t exist, but by anchoring himself in purpose and community. This episode is a reflection on growth, identity, and the quiet power of staying the course, even when your voice shakes.

He shares valuable insights and compassionate advice for anyone currently facing retrenchment or navigating the uncertainty of a job loss. Whether you’re in transition or supporting someone who is, this conversation is a balm and a blueprint.
