In this episode of I Am Change Podcast, Korede Azeez chats with Fuad Lawal, editor-in-chief at Zikoko.com. He describes himself as a full-stack content honcho who has done editorial tours, business development, online marketing, and PR. Fuad studied Industrial Chemistry but ended up turning his writing hobby into a full-time career. He’s executed projects some of us would only dream of. With Pulse36, he traveled to every state in Nigeria, taking his audience on an adventure of a lifetime. And with Jollof Road, he and his team explored West Africa in an 80-day road trip across all mainland countries in Ecowas. We had a conversation about how he got to where he is, the lessons he’s learned, and what makes him stand out. This is the first episode of season 3 of the podcast and it’s essential listening for every content creator.
