Obi discusses his transition from full-time Commercial Banker to full-time Entrepreneur and why he started Space & Equity and the Come Correct Podcast with his younger brother Chiedu Chukwumah. Working as a Commercial Banker opened Obi’s eyes to the fact that many people outside of the banking world don’t understand how banks work and that banks can become a wealth-building tool if you know how to play the game. Being a resource and example for Black and Minority communities was also a key factor for starting the Come Correct Podcast.
