Remi Adeleke hit rock bottom more than once in his life. With each experience, he developed uncanny grit and perseverance. Remi was literally born into royalty in Nigeria. However, his family’s wealth was stripped by corrupt government officials and he had to start over in the Bronx with his mother and brother. Growing up in a tough neighborhood, he often found himself in some sketchy situations. He barely made it through high school, but his “never give up” attitude eventually led him to the United States Navy. Since then, he’s reached some unbelievable career milestones. In my interview with Remi, he spoke about those achievements and the lessons he learned along the way.
