WHY I STARTED COMPASS

As a photographer, filmmaker, and communications strategist, I've always been captivated by the power of storytelling to inspire, educate, and drive change. It's this passion for storytelling and a deep appreciation for the journey of entrepreneurship that led me to embark on a new venture: Compass Insights.

Compass Insights is more than just a brand—it's a vision. It's a vision to shine a spotlight on the diverse varieties of businesses, entrepreneurs, talents, and SMEs that make up our vibrant global community. It's a vision to provide a platform where their stories can be heard, celebrated, and amplified.

But why Compass? The answer lies in the name itself. A compass is a tool used for navigation, guiding travelers on their journey, and helping them find their way. Similarly, Compass is designed to be a guiding light for entrepreneurs and business owners, offering valuable insights, news, and profiles to help them navigate the ever-changing landscape of business.

At Compass Insights, our mission is simple: to empower and inspire. We believe that by sharing the stories of those who have walked the path of entrepreneurship, we can provide valuable lessons, inspiration, and guidance to others who are embarking on their journey.

Through our articles, interviews, and features, we aim to provide a holistic view of the business world, highlighting the challenges, triumphs, and lessons learned by entrepreneurs and business owners from all walks of life. Whether it's a startup founder overcoming adversity, a seasoned CEO sharing insights from years of experience, or a rising talent making waves in their industry, we believe that every story has the power to inspire and educate.

But Compass is not just about celebrating success—it's also about fostering connection and community. We believe in the power of collaboration and networking, and we're committed to creating a platform where entrepreneurs and business owners can come together to share ideas, resources, and support.

As we embark on this journey with Compass Insights, I am filled with excitement, optimism, and a sense of purpose. I am excited to connect with entrepreneurs, business owners, and talents from around the world, and to share their stories with our audience. I am optimistic about the impact that Compass Insights can have on the lives of our readers, empowering them to chase their dreams and achieve their goals.

So here's to Compass Insights—a beacon of light for entrepreneurs, a source of inspiration for dreamers, and a compass to guide us on our journey to success. Together, let's navigate the seas of entrepreneurship, armed with knowledge, passion, and a shared sense of purpose.

Jay was a great guy, Jay was kindhearted, Jay was an exceptional talent, Jay was humble to a fault, Jay was my friend.

It is crazy that Jay’s last production was for an ad project we were working on together with my friend Eve. I also commissioned Jay to handle yet another project for a fashion show because of his talent and professionalism. Jay even called me on the day he was rushed to hospital to help him put in the word for somebody he wanted to help get a job. This life is so unfair.

Michael called me and told me he has been rushed to hospital, I promised to go see him in the hospital. But yeah, as usual, excuses excuses, too busy chasing shadows. Anyways, I made up my mind to visit on sunday due to less traffic. Woke up to several missed calls from Michael, only to call back and I heard Jay was gone. This happened way too fast. Rest well Jay.

Here’s my simple advice to you all. Make the most of your relationships with anyone you get to meet. Be kind, be forgiving, make out time. We are just passengers on earth. Stop procrastinating, get that sh*t done 🙏🏽

RIP Jay, glad we got to work together. Thank you 🙏🏽

I was commissioned to do a fashion editorial with the most amazing team. Na the result be this.

I always avoid very harsh sunlight but it worked out as planned. More sun shots this weekend.

Shooting at the beach with 5 people I have selected for training. Don’t worry guys, if you weren’t selected I have more shoots coming up next week. I also have a virtual training next week for those that are not in Lagos.

Handling more than 200 people is a lot 😥

I know we all love to have fun and it is sweet insulting people and calling them names. I see the comments and the posts. But remember, she is human and we all have made mistakes.

This is way too much for one person. I tried to reach out to her today, spoke to someone on her team. This isn’t easy for her guys, please don’t make it worse.

God bless y’all

This is so heartbreaking. I love Ronaldo but I hate Man United.

As an Arsenal fan my love for Ronaldo is greater than my hate for Man United. So I will say this, Man United is now my second team in the Premier League.

This man deserves more and more trophies, but this can’t happen without crappy United getting trophies too.

With so much hate in my heart 😂 Welcome to a real league Ronaldo 💪🏽 The greatest of all time

We are not celebrating our athletes enough. Adegoke has qualified for the finals guys. This hasn’t happened in more than 20 years.

As a Nigerian we don’t have a lot to be proud of. But these guys are doing their best with basically no facilities and finances to train. They are so mentally strong and I think we should cheer them more than we are doing.
