The FailProof Podcast

Hola #FailProof fam!👋🏾 This week, I sat down with Tomiwa for our most practical conversation yet. Tomiwa, aka Sucre, is a logistics professional, a good friend and an overall cool guy. The nickname makes sense once you see the steeze and composure.😎 This episode taught me so much about the costly cost of failure in supply chain, how men uniquely navigate failure, and a new favourite definition:...

Hi Fam! This week's episode of the #FailProofPod is the ultimate DMC between two girlfriends navigating the different transitions of womanhood. Our guest, Nosa is a businesswoman, fashion stylist, makeup artist, fashion entrepreneur, corporate girlie, wifey, mom, and dear friend of the pod. We discuss learning through failure, marriage and motherhood, ditching public validation for self-valida...

Hi all, Pepper here! 👋🏾 First things first: Happy Women’s Month! To celebrate, this week's #FailProofPod features a conversation with one of my absolute favourite women.  Kemi (aka ‘Auntie Kemi’) is a professional town planner with the chillest outlook on life, planning, and those "unsuccessful" ventures we usually stress over. Just a heads up… be very careful how you use the word...

Hi FailProof fam! This week, we sit with Tobi Fabanwo, aka TFabs, our resident “Olympic star” 🫢 (IYKYK). An energy professional, writer, serial entrepreneur, pastor, and founder of LightUp Global, Tobi wears many hats and somehow keeps adding more. We talk about everything from faith to business and yes, relationships (Yay Valentine’s!). Get ready for a proper gist session with real life lessons,...

It’s our FIRST episode of 2026!!! We missed you, so we’re starting the year the only way we know how: honest conversations, laughter, and a little chaos. Agent Dips and Pepper sit down (at last!) to unpack their wins and breakdowns of 2025. And if you’re wondering what kind of year we’re stepping into… let’s just say this: 2026 = AUDACITY for us! Enjoy the episode. Remember to like, comment, subsc...

Surprise! We sneaked in an episode before 2026. 🤭🤭 Compliments of the season, family. As the year ends, we reflect, reset, and rethink what “failure” really means. In this episode, Pepper dives in deep with David Chukwuebuka Obi on human relationships, personal growth, and redefining what success and failure look like. He's a Engineer, Fitness Enthusiast, Entrepreneur and after this episode, he...

We keep our promises, fam. We also don't mean sound like a broken record, but we're still here! For our third episode, we have Cheryl Natalie: Lawyer, Painter, Social Media Creator, and Reinventor (oh, we forgot to mention: Self-Acclaimed Hottest Girl in Kenya 😉). She studied law, passed the bar, she has explored social media management, painting, and TikTok (always experimenting and embracing ne...

We're still here! And today, we have Dr. Funmilayo Oyefusi : a Human Resource & Development Practitioner, Mother, Teacher & Child of God. She wrote WAEC, GCE & JAMB twice, spent six years in the university, and another six years for her Masters due to different circumstances; she's been in school her whole life! Today, she holds a Bachelor's, Master's, and a PHD. She speaks to us about...

We’re back! And yes, we missed you. Kicking off FailProof Pod Season 2, Agent Dips sits with a guest whose story screams grace and growth. From failing IGCSE, Maths in WAEC, and some Nursing courses to finding healing through therapy, writing, and the occasional singing, she’s now a thriving Public Health Nurse, Tech Girl (& The Occasional Singer); living proof that failure can’t stop purpose....

And it’s a wrap!🥂 What better way to close 2024 than to hear from Agent Dips himself🙌🏾 As suspected, baba don see things for this life!😂 But even though! (in Maraji's voice)… we’re grateful for a platform to talk about our “tryouts” and “failures”. As he wisely put it, “Failure is necessary ‘daily bread’ if we want to grow”. So, here’s to feasting some more in 2025!🥳 Happy New Year, fam! Btw,...

Cameroon in the building! 🇨🇲 Glory Mafor joined us all the way from Cameroon for this episode, and we had a blast discussing her first time eating amala, her earliest memory of 'failing,' and why she sees her current friendships as her biggest wins. As always, it’s full of laughter and good vibes, so sit back and enjoyyyy! Don’t forget to like, comment, subscribe, and share! Catch you in the comme...

As a child, our guest’s response to 'What do you want to become in life?' was always 'I don't know, but I want to count money'—until someone told her that’s what accountants do. LOL! This week’s guest is Dara, the founder of ThaGlobetrotters, who shares hilarious stories of how she’s 'failed' her way through life while visiting 52 countries and so much more. Buckle up for this one—protect your rib...

In Episode 3 of the FailProof Podcast, Tobi shares her journey from winning big on the national game show ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire’ as a teenager to navigating uni with a blank mind and walking out of a job without a backup plan. It’s all shades of revelations, wisdom, and banter as she chats to Agent Dips and Pepper about her relationship with failure and everything she’s learned along the...

Agent Dips and Pepper play host and guest in Episode 2 of the FailProof Podcast. Pepper, the aspiring Prof, opens up about her struggles in school (including how Physics made her cry in uni), her bold move from the UK back to Nigeria against all common sense, and her complicated love-hate relationship with success and failure as a first-born daughter.

Welcome to the FailProof Podcast! In this pilot episode, Abimbola 'Pepper' and Dipo 'Agent Dips' talk about the journey that led here - this "experiment on failure" as we like to call it. Enjoy and join the club!
