9:33 offering a great product and instrumenting virality in your product via incentives, right?
Your favorite parts of her story are also my favorite too. Particular how organic Famasi comes to be. It's like her experience crystallises at a point and boom - Famasi! One of the best interviews I have watched in a long time.
Exactly! Thank you so much for watching
Such a warm interview.
Glad you enjoyed it

Glad to hear that
A great way on how to build a product. Well done Adeola
Glad you think so!
Thank you Peace for this Masterpiece with Pharm. Adeola! I really really appreciate this. I once met Pharm. Adeola during one of PSN-YPG Lagos Event, and her session was very insightful. I believe in what she's doing with Famasi, and she's one of those we Pharmacy Undergrads are looking up to! keep going Famasi!!
This is amazing
I really enjoyed this story and it’s so interesting. I love the part of the accidental start up. Believing in what you’re doing and just solving a problem. Love it
I really enjoyed and learnt a lot from this. Great job Peace and keep up the good work Adeola.
You are doing well, @Peace Itimi. More wins!
Thank you so much!
It's great to hear a woman's perspective on (accidentally) building a business. Great interview, Peace. And great work, Adeola. Wishing Famasi all the best!
Thank you!
Awesome interview as always. Thank you so much for bringing us these stories. One thing I particular that I picked from Adeola's story which Peace also reiterated is that it's ok to want explore different things on the road to finding the one that resonates with you.
It is very okay to explore different things. I'm glad this resonated with you
It’s nice too see you’re interviewing founders again, I was starting to think you’re on to other things
I will always share impactful stories, worry not!
Thanks for sharing Peace🖤
You are so welcome
"Small ideas can become really big things." Amazing story!
Absolutely!
👋 hello Peace, I believe You have to have known my name from your old comment section(I've been with you for the longest time), I say this because I want to say something life-changing because my dream depends on this, I can feel it. First of all I don't want to make this message long but I'm full of passion right now and it can be impossible to say less. As I began listening to this video, from the title I found out it was God that sent this incredible video my Way. I pray that God gives me the grace to articulate my heart and you receive it at least half the way I feel. So, I'm a pharmacy technician at Enugu currently doing my IT at parklane but Adeola just described something I've been trying to articulate to people, my friends and they're not much people getting it. The pharmacy industry is really having a big vague problem in this part of the world. Honestly like I tought I was the only one who noticed that all the pharmacies are alike and there's a big problem about it and for the longest time I've been papering down solutions and you don't know how I feel hearing this. Please just help me tell her I'm begging to be part of this and It's not that I believe in their idea, I know it's possible( like I've been thinking about this since I was at secondary school, honestly that's why I dived to the industry), the foreign countries are proving it's possible. For our country it has to start somewhere. Please 🙏🥺 when we say passion, I have that for this idea. Even if she refuses, help me beg her that I need to be in her circle. I feel lonely 🥺. There's a quote I heard recently " He Who loves the walking rather than the destination will work farther" I've been dreaming of this walk. This innovation will require a LOT of walking. There's nothing like this available. Peace I really believe in famasi Africa.🙏
Doing The Most ❤
Powerful Interview
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your story is really insightful and inspiring Adeola. There is always a lot to learn on founders connect, thank you Peace😊
Glad it was helpful!
Rooting for this company so bad❤❤❤
What a lovely one-on-one discussion with Adeola. I've never regretted subscribing to this channel, keep up the good work. ❤
Thank you so much!
Another sweet business video😁
That's right!
The way Abdul is able to very clearly articulate his brilliant thoughts needs to be studied. It's one thing to have knowledge, it's another thing to be able to convey that knowledge to people in a very clear and succinct manner.
I know right??
Waoh Waoh.. this is inspiring Thanks for creating this series of conversations, Peace!
Thank you for watching
I love how clear this explanation is 👋
Glad it was helpful!
