On Your Mic

A conversation with Scherrie L. Prince, attorney and founder strategist specialising in ownership, governance, succession, and exit planning. Most founders are wired for growth — traction, revenue, momentum. What gets ignored is structure: who owns what, who makes decisions, what happens when things change. Those decisions don't break a business immediately. They sit quietly in the background unti...

Most people spend years chasing success without ever stopping to ask what that success is building towards. The promotion, the credentials, the income, the recognition — from the outside, everything looks correct. But underneath, many people are operating on inherited definitions of achievement they never consciously chose for themselves. In this episode, Collins Victory Odabi sits down with Alber...

Most interventions around gender-based violence focus on behaviour, awareness campaigns, education, and policy. But very few ask the more fundamental question: what is the environment doing? It's not the conversation around the issue, but the actual physical spaces people move through every day and what those spaces quietly permit. In this episode, Collins Victory Odabi sits down with Christopher...

A conversation with Dr. Christian Komor, climate innovation advocate and independent candidate for Governor of Colorado. The dominant climate narrative asks people to accept sacrifice — higher costs, restricted industries, slower growth. The implicit contract is that the environment and the economy are in tension, and that solving one means damaging the other. In this episode, Collins Victory Odab...

Most writers assume that if a story starts strong, readers will naturally stay. But attention doesn't work that way. Readers don't commit to a story once — they recommit at every page, every scene, and every shift in tone. What determines whether they stay has very little to do with the idea itself. In this episode, Collins Victory Odabi sits down with Susan to explore what actually holds a reader...

Most founders know exactly what is working and what isn't in their business. The blind spot isn't operational — it's physical. The sustained pressure, the intensity, the load that gets normalised because the business is still growing and nothing has visibly broken yet. In this episode, Collins Victory Odabi sits down with Josh Chernikoff — education entrepreneur, founder of the 3E Method, and the...

Most people still think of AI as something you open, prompt, and close. A layer sitting alongside the tools they already use. But that framing is already becoming outdated — because what's actually shifting isn't capability, it's the interface itself. In this episode, Collins Victory Odabi sits down with Matthew White, founder and CEO of Qebot and Platypus OS, to explore what that shift actually m...

Most companies treat branding as a visibility problem. When growth slows or perception shifts, they update visuals, refresh messaging, or launch a new campaign. The system underneath stays the same, and so does the result. Aaron Keller has spent over two decades helping companies like Patagonia, PepsiCo, and Hydro Flask understand why that approach fails. As co-founder of Capsule, a special projec...

Most leadership conversations focus on performance and results. But organisations are often shaped less by major decisions and more by repeated behaviours — how leaders communicate, respond under pressure, and treat people over time. In this episode, Collins Victory Odabi sits down with David Petrash — US Navy veteran, entrepreneur, senior pastor, business leader, and bestselling author of The Rip...

Most people assume serious heart conditions come with clear warning signs. If someone looks healthy, stays active, eats well, and does routine check-ups, the belief is that everything must be fine. That assumption is far more dangerous than it appears. In this episode, Collins Victory Odabi speaks with Julia Lindenthal about the sudden loss of her father — a man who appeared exceptionally healthy,...
