Is focusing on just one skill keeping you stuck?

In a world that tells us to specialize, we often miss the bigger picture. In this episode, we sit down with Mike Omoniyi, an award-winning social entrepreneur and true polymath, to dismantle the myth that you need to stay in one lane. We discuss why being multi-skilled is the ultimate competitive advantage and how combining random interests from philosophy to video editing can open doors that mastery in a single field never could.

We share the raw, unpolished truth about the journey, including a story about sneaking onto a train with a ripped suit just to pitch an investor, only to be turned away. We break down the concept of "compound interest" in your career, where years of unseen labor finally pay off. Whether you are an ambitious employee or a founder hitting a wall, this conversation reveals why curiosity is your best business strategy and why nobody is coming to save you, you have to build the bridge as you cross it.

" One thing you have to do is start to value or put a value on what you do with your time... There's a lot of skills people have just by what they're doing day in day out that they can actually start to value." @MikeOmoniyics
