PERSONAL BACKGROUND
Ademola was born in Nigeria as the only boy of five children, so this made for some interesting hand-me-downs from his sisters when growing up. He moved to the UK when he was 9 years old. He was bullied in primary school for being the African boy with the accent.
There were many challenges during his upbringing in the UK and there were times he considered taking his own life, he ran away from home and he got involved with the wrong crowd and nearly got stabbed as a teenager. With support around him he pulled through and learned to make better choices. He progressed to Uni where he got a 2:1 in electronics engineering, it was during this time that he began his journey in sales and business.
He received a tuition fee for £1,025 in 1999 that changed his life. That was a lot of money back then.
It was at this point that he started to learn the importance and power of facing your fears and taking personal responsibility. He started to discover the difference that taking action makes in life. It is because of his journey from a young person to now that he says, “if you’re still breathing, you’re still in the game”. This is a key reason why he started Get Hench, so that people can flourish, succeed and live a life true to their dreams regardless of their past.
People have incredible dreams, so he wants them to have the boldness and audacity to make those dreams a reality.
That’s why his personal vision is for people to be unleashed into their greatness and become purpose. He wants them to be their Awesome!
He is married to his amazing wife Pamela.
