What if the problem was never poverty, but leadership?

From a solar powered office built with recycled plastic bottles in Nigeria, Adedoyin Adeleke shares a vision that challenges everything we think we know about development. Not with blame. Not with bitterness. But with clarity, courage, and conviction.

Born in Africa, educated in Italy, and living between continents, Adedoyin could have stayed where life was comfortable. Instead, he returned home. Not for status. Not for politics. But for impact. He believes Africa is too rich to be poor. Rich in resources. Rich in talent. Rich in potential. Yet limited by systems that export raw materials and import finished value. Export opportunity and import dependency.

In this powerful conversation, Steve and Adedoyin unpack what it means to build growth that is truly green. Not greenwashing. Not slogans. But integrated development where economic expansion, social equity, and environmental responsibility move together. He shares how Green Growth Africa has already impacted 22 countries, equipped 8,000 students, supported over 178 advanced scholars, and influenced policy without holding political office.

You will feel his heart when he speaks about poverty of leadership. Leadership that serves family over people. Systems that dilute vision. And his bold belief that impact does not require a title. It requires integrity.

This episode invites you to ask a deeper question. Where in your life are you exporting your potential instead of developing it? How can you lead with a servant’s heart in your business, your community, and your nation?

Because whether you live in Lagos, London, or Los Angeles, the call is the same. Build what serves people. Create what sustains the future. Lead with impact.

P.S. Today, do one thing that reflects leadership without a title. Serve someone, mentor someone, build something that leaves the world better. Then ask yourself, what would happen if I did this every day?
