Why Tech Is the Great Equaliser with Bolaji Olatoye

In this conversation, Bolaji opens up about growing up in a Nigerian household where hierarchy shaped his early mindset — and how he slowly dismantled those internal limits. We explore the tension between creativity and conformity, surviving 18 years in corporate while holding onto purpose, and how faith, failure, and fierce vision kept him grounded.

You’ll hear how he used music, events and ministry as an early training ground for leadership — long before stepping into business. Now, as the founder of Altitude AI, Bolaji is building tools that empower entrepreneurs to scale using smart, accessible tech.

We unpack:

🔥 The journey from subservient to self-led
🔥 Why AI is a tool to unlock potential — not replace it
🔥 Faith, failure, and staying power in entrepreneurship
🔥 How to unlearn cultural norms that keep you playing small
🔥 The mindset shift from challenger to champion

Expect real talk about leadership, tech, identity, staying power… and why the world doesn’t need more safe goals — it needs people who dare to try.

Whether you’re navigating corporate life, exploring entrepreneurship, or trying to reconnect with your purpose — this episode will inspire you to break your own limits and step into your next level.
