Press to jump
- 3:22Ayoola joined Platoon's founding team in 2016 and stayed through its acquisition by Apple in 2018.
- 20:00Banking's intense hours left Ayoola feeling that work had displaced the rest of her life.
- 36:35Platoon's artist-first model supported independent musicians, including Billie Eilish and Jorja Smith.
- 51:19Ayoola recommends weighing equity against salary and judging whether senior career demands fit your life goals.
- 54:16A lawyer's content-creation dilemma prompts advice on making a safer transition between careers.
Linda Ayoola's first impressive banking salary gets a delighted recollection. The more consequential career reward comes later: owning a share of the business she helped build.
That distinction gives Building Wealth Without Borders its most watched new upload of an eight-upload week. Speaking with Lámidé Elizabeth, Ayoola describes moving through banking roles before leaving a career whose hours had crowded out the rest of her life. A sabbatical and a blog post called "I Quit" preceded her arrival at music-services company Platoon, where she joined the founding team as chief operations officer.
The episode connects that leap to Apple's acquisition of Platoon, then gets to the practical argument behind its wealth-building title: Ayoola urges people to consider equity rather than salary alone, and to ask whether the sacrifices required at the top of their industry suit the life they want. The interview includes sponsored segments.
It had drawn roughly 5,500 views within nine hours and is also the channel's busiest upload by daily views. "My Nigerian Mum's Reaction To Me Quitting My Job" is drawing attention too, while the earlier Ama Hill interview continues to gather viewers. Hill's discussion ranges from building Plantmade to funding decisions and the sustainability of creator careers, themes echoed across several of this week's shorter uploads.
The channel added about a thousand subscribers over the week, although daily views are running below their usual pace. Among nearby business channels, The Caleb Hammer Show and Kyla Scanlon had substantially larger weekly audiences. For Elizabeth's listeners, the week's distinctive thread is less about a bigger pay cheque than what a career can let you own.
