015 - Discipline of Focus - Journey to Becoming Canada's Top 25 Most Influential Lawyer
06/17/21 • 47 min
015 - So I finally caught up with Charles Osuji after trailing him for 3 years reading about his meteoric rise to “legal stardom” in Canada and got him to talk about what and how exactly this rise came about.
“ My name is Charles Osuji. I'm the seventh child out of eight kids. I came to Canada in 2011, sponsored by my brother, Joseph Osuji, a Nursing Professor. Before writing the bar exams, I did all kinds of survivor work, you can think of, sleeping only two nights in a week and eventually articling in a law firm that I currently own
I'll talk a little bit about my journey before that point in history, and it was typical of any immigrant's journey, arriving in a new country, having left all of the comforts, your home country afforded. I had family members here, but I told them I was only going to stay with them for a month and then start out on my own because I wanted to challenge myself.
And that's exactly what I did. I tried my hands on all kinds of work. This time I was working three jobs at a time morning afternoon night, you know, I was surviving on Red Bull at some point Red Bull came to its limit... “
For anyone who knows Charles, this is not your typical interview!

014 - Iconic Life Podcast as A Brand - Website Launch
014 - In this episode I share in-depth, some structural changes that have been made in terms of Content Delivery - specifically how the individual episodes are delivered and the user experience as it relates to engagement and consumption.
We did not exactly have a name for the show and based on our review of the last six months, and the plans we are putting in place to position us for growth. We figured it was high time we separated the podcast as a brand, from the mother brand itself and that's what we're trying to achieve here so the podcast now has a name of its own, its Iconic life Podcast as a separate brand from the League of icons as the mother brand, and so that's what we have here
I unveil the new name for the podcast as well as a newly designed user-friendly website and a new website address: podcast.leagueoficons.com
