The West African culture Yemi Mobolade grew up with prescribed that children were expected to defer to their parents.
âThe adults were always right,â he recalled. âAs a young kid, asking why and challenging my parents got me in a lot of trouble.â But now, he said, âIâm always intent on knowing why and looking under the hood.â
Since Mobolade came to the United States from Nigeria 24 years ago, he has been both a student of leadership and a successful entrepreneur.
He moved to Colorado Springs 10 years ago after earning a business administration degree at Bethel College, a masterâs in management and leadership at Indiana Wesleyan University and a second masterâs in intellectual leadership from A.W. Tozer Theological Seminary.
