"Credit Where It's Due" with Onboard Founder Yele Bademosi | ZEROPOD S2E10
Welcome back to another episode of ZEROPOD our zero copyright video podcast for people who enjoy Ethereum. This week we were excited to welcome as our guest Yele Bademosi the founder of many things in this space, but most recently Onboard.xyz, which is a digital wallet designed as a full service neobank for onchain creators. In this pod, host Toady Hawk from Zero Rights Media talks with Yele about his upbringing in Nigeria, his schooling in London and his series of interesting start-ups since. They chat about why he was drawn to build on Ethereum, and specifically on Base, why he believes providing under-collateralized credit to the world is the most important future priority for Onboard, one simple thing he never learned to do, and much, much more. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.

Stop waiting with Baba Ajayi

Born in Nigeria and raised in Toronto, Baba began his interest in business and tech at an early age by learning how to code. He always wanted to create something that would outlast himself as well as anyone can benefit from, so a few years ago came up with the idea of having chatbots and humans interact. With grit and perseverance, Baba is determined to grow and expand andie.work into a global app. Derek and Fred chat with Baba about the challenges of being one of the few black men in the tech world, the importance of Black Lives Matter, and how the pandemic created an opportunity for andie.work. The trio dives into brand awareness and the importance of always having a strong support system in both human capital and the need to invest and mentor employees.
