My Nigerian Parents Wanted A Doctor. I Chose Tech Sales — Now I Make Multiple Six Figures.

from Courtside Financial Podcast · host Courtside Financial

Obi breaks down his full tech sales origin story — from growing up in a Nigerian household where doctor, engineer, or lawyer were the only options, to switching majors without telling his parents, working two jobs in college, transferring schools, and getting cussed out on his very first cold call at a Fortune 500 internship. He walks through the exact mindset shift that turned it all around and how he went on to lead 12 interns and land a full-time offer before his senior year ended. If you're trying to figure out what you want to do with your life — or break into tech sales without a traditional background — this episode is your starting point.
