Chief Executive Officer of Expidale Logistics, Oluyemi Owolabi, opens up to TEMITOPE ADETUNJI about his new book, how he rebuilt his life after losing his wife, business, and thousands of customers, among other issues
What inspired your book?
‘The Power of Consistency’ is my first book, and my inspiration came from my own failures, setbacks, and personal pain. In 2023, I lost my wife. It was extremely devastating. Depression set in; at the time, I felt as though my world had ended. We had been married for almost a decade.
But in the midst of that pain, I remembered that my life is designed to impact others positively regardless. I thought about my upbringing; I grew up as the third and last boy in a family of four, but by providence, I completed secondary school earlier than my older siblings.
