In this episode of the He’s a Guy podcast, we sit down with entrepreneur Junior Ofori for a raw and unfiltered conversation about what it takes to build something from scratch.

This isn’t your typical “how to get rich” episode; this is the truth about entrepreneurship that most people never share.

Join the conversation as we spill the tea on:

1. The ULTIMATE Approach: Our (sometimes hilarious) blueprints for talking to someone you like.

2. First Impression FAILS: What NOT to do if you actually want a second date.

3. Red Flags & Escape Plans: The tell-tale signs a date is going DOWN HILL (and our emergency exits!).

4. Rejection HURTS: How we actually deal with getting turned down (it's not always graceful!).

5. The Bill Dilemma: Who pays? When do you split? The GUY perspective.

6.And much MORE! Get ready for honest stories, questionable tactics, and maybe a few laughs at our expense.
