He Told Me He Would Pay Off His Mortgage. One Year Later He Called

By Seun Sylvester | Strategy | July 8, 2026

The First Conversation Some time last year, I had a conversation with a friend. The kind of conversation that does not feel significant in the moment but stays with you longer than you expect. He mentioned, almost in passing, that he planning to pay off his mortgage next year [this year]. I noted it. I…

By Seun Sylvester | Strategy | July 4, 2026

The Phone Call That Stopped Me Last Friday, I sat across from the CEO of AjoPro, a fintech company doing over $10 million in business, for what I expected to be a productive meeting.

Your Children Are Watching How You Handle Money, Not What You Say About It

By Seun Sylvester | Strategy | June 12, 2026

The Correction That Came From My Own Kitchen I have to start this one with a confession. For a long time, whenever my children asked for something, my default response was the one most of us inherited without examining: “That’s expensive.” Or its close cousin: “We don’t have money for that.” It felt harmless. It…

Since I began my professional career in 2012, I had never truly experienced what it meant to lose a job.

Why I Want To Own My Time

What Five Days Taught Me About Why I Want to Own My Time This week I took five days off work. No travel. No agenda. No inbox, zero challenges. Just home. I took my child to school in the morning — something I almost never do because I am usually already on my way to…

He Is Risen And So Shall Your Dreams

By Seun Sylvester | Strategy | April 5, 2026

This morning, Christians around the world are declaring three words that have echoed across two thousand years of human history. He is risen. Not — he tried. Not — he almost made it. Not — the circumstances were too difficult. He is risen. I want to talk to you this Easter morning about hope. Not…
