Jei Ikhinmwin - Work Hard and Everything Will Take Care of Itself

Rewind 20 years and meet Jei Ikhinmwin; a kid with unknown advantages – Mr Biddle (listen to find out), a mother who relentlessly instilled excellence and a father who tirelessly reinforced that it all depended on one thing: hard work. 

Most teenagers have BIG dreams but absolutely no idea what it takes to achieve them (nor the tenacity to stay on track!), but Jei was different. 

His father’s mantra was on repeat “Work hard and you’ll get everything you want. Work hard and everything will take care of itself”, while his mother’s presence ensured standards never dropped. 

Propelled by his biggest fear, Jei achieved what he set out to do, turning into a pro basketball player.  Fast forward to today and Jei has grown into an unstoppable force, branching into new territories, and succeeding there too.

Jei talks with host Swarzy Macaly about quitting, priorities, whether shortcuts are ever an option and what to do about doubters and obstacles.
