Welcome to The Quest Pod Season 1: Episode 21 with Odunayo Eweniyi: the Nigerian fin-tech superstar shares why accepting imperfection and helping others grow matter.

Odunayo Eweniyi is an inspiring and refreshing ambassador for female founders around the world, and I’m very excited to bring you her story. The co-founder and COO of PiggyVest is a Nigerian business executive and activist. Her accomplishments have earned her recognition in Forbes Africa's list of 20 New Wealth Creators in Africa 2019, Bloomberg 50 2020, and Time 100.

Beyond her accolades, Odunayo’s entrepreneurial journey was born out of determination and bravery to make a positive change for the world. As we explore her entrepreneurial path, you’ll learn the importance of not internalizing failure, projecting calmness in the face of stress, accepting imperfection, and the strength of patience.

She is a reminder to the world that you don’t need to be a ‘tech bro’ from Silicon Valley to be a successful founder – you just need the right vision, unflinching determination, and a strong heart.
