But this 'founder’s rate' expires September 30, 2025. After that, the price goes up.

Today on Crea8torium, we have someone whose life is more than just a game. Tunde Onakoya is reshaping futures.  With a small table and a big vision, he created Chess in Slums. But what he really created was a portal to possibility, opening doors for young people who’ve been overlooked by society.

From Nigeria to Times Square, Tunde is teaching children to see themselves not as pawns, but as kings and queens. But the story doesn’t stop there. Tunde’s journey is about answering a call to purpose, doing the work even when no one’s watching, and staying true to your vision—even when the world gets loud.

In this episode, we’re diving into the quiet, powerful decisions that shape big dreams. We’re talking about resilience, staying grounded under pressure, and authenticity on this journey, no matter how the odds are stacked.

Let’s get into it but one quick thing.

This episode was recorded shortly after Tunde's record-breaking 60+ hour chess marathon in Times Square. You may notice some sniffles — a testament to how deeply he pushed himself and how hard his body worked to recover. We’re grateful he came to share this moment with us, sniffles and all, reminding us that true greatness often leaves a mark. (And if you listen closely, you just might sniff a hint of the resilience that made him a champion.)

Behind every world-shifting idea, there’s a powerful partnership. Quincy Jones had Michael Jackson. Steve Jobs had Jony Ive. Beyoncé has her Parkwood team.

Collaboration isn’t just about working together. It’s about who you build with, why you build, and how you move through the tensions, the vision clashes, and the unspoken expectations.

In this episode of Crea8torium, we unpack what really makes collaboration work.
