LanePod: MBA for promising, low and average-income African youths.
Samuel Adeoye, founder of Lane and a management consultant, hosts LanePod: MBA for promising, low and average-income African youths. Each week, he delivers a concise 10 to 15-minute episode that cuts through the noise surrounding business school. The conversation is built on a clear premise: an MBA should be an accessible tool for ambitious Africans, not a distant dream reserved for a privileged few. You’ll hear practical, step-by-step guidance on navigating the complex admissions landscape, from crafting a compelling application to understanding what selection committees truly seek. A significant focus is placed on demystifying funding, exploring scholarships, loans, and creative financial strategies specifically relevant to the realities faced by many on the continent. Beyond the application, this podcast connects you to the community. Samuel brings in current African MBA students and alumni who share their unfiltered experiences-the challenges of adapting to a new academic culture, the triumphs of securing internships, and the long-term value of the degree. It’s a resource that meets you where you are, whether you’re just curious about the path, deep in application essays, or already on campus. The entire LanePod podcast is designed to provide the knowledge and confidence needed to pursue this transformative education.
