The BIG Decision - Episode 4 - Taking off the Gold(man Sachs)en Handcuffs to Bet on Yourself - Dubi Offonry
Welcome back to The BIG Decision, a real-time audio documentary tracking my journey as I prepare to move to Hong Kong over the next 12-ish months.But this isn’t just about the logistics of moving abroad. It’s about building a life with intention. One that’s aligned with my passions, strengths, and values. To get there, I’m speaking to people who’ve already made a big leap. Whether it’s quitting their job, moving across the world, or completely redefining their relationship with success.I’m Kahvan, and today I’m joined by someone who embodies so many of the themes I’m grappling with right now: experimentation, self-belief, consistency, and building community.Ndubisi, aka Dubi spent four years working at Goldman Sachs before walking away from a corporate finance career to try something radically different: founding a community-focused venture called One House Social Club, which in less than a year has brought together thousands of 20- and 30-somethings through events across the UK and Amsterdam.What caught my attention was Dubi’s courage, sharing on LinkedIn how he left a prestigious job to experiment, create, and build a life on his terms. He’s someone who’s not afraid to defy orthodoxy, embrace the unbeaten path, and, as he once put it, stay motivated by the belief that “you go fast alone, but far together.”In today’s episode, we’ll talk about taking those leaps, building community, overcoming fear, and finding strength from within. Let’s get into it.Follow Dubi on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ndubisi-offonry-92ab9a130/ Email: [email protected] to chat to me about The BIG Decision.
