EP 22: How to Cultivate Opportunities within Your Own Network with Adeola Adejobi

In this week's Powered AF episode we meet with Adeola Adejobi, the Founder and CEO of the Avant-Garde Network (AGN). Her firm is a leading social impact company creating social and economic impact through a collaborative ecosystem of industry professionals, business leaders and entrepreneurs. On top of that, Adeola is responsible for creating the Women of Color and Capital Conference, where diverse women entrepreneurs & professionals come together to learn about money, finance, capital and investing. Adeola accolade list runs deep! This Powered AF episode is great!

 

 

Going in depth as always, we really hone in Adeola's Nigerian roots, family history and how she learned the importance of paying things forward. Adeola talks about what pushed her towards the creation of AGN and how the idea was an untapped niche in a heavily saturated market. As an entrepreneur who's constantly growing she also teaches us how to network and clearly explains what networking truly is and isn't.

 

 

This episode is special for all entrepreneurs wondering how to not only cultivate opportunities but maintain relationships and demand the terms you truly desire for you and your business.

About the Podcast

Permission to CEO
Permission to CEO is the podcast for anyone tired of playing by the rules and ready to redefine what’s possible—on their own terms..

In Permission to CEO, Abu dives into the raw, unfiltered truths of entrepreneurship, sharing stories and strategies from his journey of building multiple 7-figure businesses, reinvention, rebuilding, and grief.

This podcast is for the dreamers sitting on the sidelines, wondering if they’re ready to take the leap. It’s for the ones who think they need permission to start a business, chase an idea, or lead a team—but deep down, know they don’t.

Through candid conversations, actionable insights, and real-world advice, Abu explores topics like overcoming imposter syndrome, building a business with purpose, and navigating the mental hurdles of entrepreneurship. Whether you’re a first-time founder, a creative with a big idea, or someone who’s been waiting for the “right time,” this podcast is your reminder: you don’t need permission to start.

Success isn’t about having it all figured out—it’s about having the courage to start, even when you don’t feel ready.
