Listen "I sold Okrika after losing my job, then COVID hit just as it picked up—I got depressed – Jay-Onair"
Episode Synopsis
Everyone’s fave is my guest today, Jay On Air.But before the millions of views and the hosting gigs, he was just a young man trying to find his way.In 2020, he sent a message asking to intern on this show.He had just lost his radio job, couldn’t find another, and was battling depression.He tried PR, PA work, even started selling okrika. Business was just picking up, then COVID hit. And it all came crashing down again.It was in the middle of that silence, that stillness, that he picked up his phone… and started playing on TikTok.Today, he’s one of the biggest and most loved content creators in West Africa.But what I love most is how deeply he’s grown.He told me there was a time he wasn’t a good person, not a good friend, not kind, not humble.And how he had to call himself out and do the work.We talk about growth. Purpose. Success.And what it really means to be seen and loved, publicly and privately.This is one of the most beautiful stories I’ve heard.And one of the sweetest humans I’ve ever met.Jay On Air — like you’ve never seen him before.
