Professional Experience
Beyond the Work
The real momentum starts here. If you want to know what drives Akeem's operational mindset, look at how he spends his currency.
From blue doors in North Africa to trails he couldn't spell a week earlier. If it's unfamiliar, he's interested. Comfort zones are where good ideas go to die.
Give him a muddy truck, an ATV, and a road that isn't really a road. The mess is the point.
Rarely travels without his dog, Ziggy. Better company than most people, honestly.
Firewood, tree stumps, open fields. Akeem likes work you can feel in your arms the next day.
Big energy requires a solid collective. Whether he's fighting for a greener planet, backing his community, or mentoring kids to build their own paths, he keeps his circle tight and his impact heavy.
