From Broke to Built - The Weight of Influence — Episode 18: The Refactor
CraftConnect is no longer just a company — it's a movement.

As Ade is pulled — reluctantly, then irresistibly — toward a fight far bigger than business, an old general of Nigerian politics, a rising rival, and a nameless strategist working in the shadows all begin circling the same question: what happens when the man who rebuilt himself from nothing decides rebuilding a company isn't enough?
