I QUIT My 10-Year Banking Career for a Hobby

He was a rising star in one of Nigeria's top banks, on a path paved by family legacy. After ten years, he had the promotions, the connections, and the secure future. But during the End SARS protests, a values clash forced a choice between his career and his conscience.

In this episode of Growth Through Failure, I sit down with Dare Aderinokun (Bosco), the founder of Quacktails. He shares the unfiltered story of walking away from a guaranteed future, the immense pressure from his family, and how he turned a simple hobby into a trailblazing brand that has sold over 500,000 drinks.

This is a powerful story about identity, courage, and what it truly means to define success on your own terms.
