Career Congregation is your weekly gathering for all things career—a space to explore the highs, the lows, and the incredible stories of people who’ve navigated career challenges, from rock bottoms to remarkable comebacks.

This week’s episode features Ighosime Oyofo—Relationship Manager in enterprise sales, loving father, adoring husband, devoted son and brother, and long-standing friend of host Meghan Fitzpatrick.

Igho shares his upbringing, education, and career journey, including the pivotal experiences that have shaped his personal and professional life. Together, they explore his early years in a large Nigerian family, his international background, and the emphasis his parents placed on globalisation and cultivating a broad worldview.

They also reflect on the role of music, culture, and navigating career transitions and setbacks—touching on moments of burnout, motivation, and the growth that can come from hitting rock bottom in both education and work.

The episode wraps with thoughtful advice for younger generations—on resilience, risk-taking, and the long-term value of nurturing strong relationships across all areas of life.
