Began in 2007, when Uyo was a land of pastors and politicians (like he would say), when his art of professional speaking was more like a tropical rainforest yet to be turned into an industry. Had his first million in 2008, certain and purpose driven yet lost it all just a year after. Was bankrupt 2009, 2010. More than 10 years later, he's here to tell the story, what caused his failures, how he realized, how he got back up and who he is today. What you should know about certainty, purpose, patience and thinking business. Is stagnation a choice, is progress deliberate?

Listen to this unravelling session with Dr. George Essien, a professional speaker, entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist as he takes  us through his journey.

Started with helping his aunty sell materials in her boutique while still in school, creating relationships with people, church members and friends. With the will to eliminate the challenges he faced doing that, he decided to launch into tailoring. Started with software engineering, played guitar as a hobby, what captured his attention to Fashion? How did he create his own signature? Why Men's fashion? What challenges did he face starting and what challenges is he facing now? Asides just knowing the skill, why should you also know the business aspect of it? Why are they lots of tailors but just some stand out? As a tailor, why is the peak of his career for now, in the Covid 19 lockdown?

As Bobby Bassey, Tailor and CEO, Menz Exclusive Court, I hope his story will be an unravelling, inspiring and educating one.

As many others are, a graduate of history who initially never thought it in the direction of journalism and broadcasting, but perhaps the local bar he ran. From selling fish and drinks in his local bar, nicknamed 'FishGeorge' to auditioning as a disk jocker in a radio station because of his love for music and radio itself. Although not given opportunity as a DJ as it was already occupied, he was called in as a reporter in the news room far back as 2005.

Fast forward to 2021, about 16 years in radio, a veteran broadcaster, sports journalist, media consultant, the Mighty George as he is popularly called takes us through his journey. How possible, from the news room to the studio where he's served in different stations, in different states, different capacities, anchoring over 50 flagship programmes? How he knew talking on radio is his life calling, How he was able to manage the talent he was given, market his brand and be the best. Why OAPs aren't paid their worth, and why talent is just one of many things to make you successful.  What you need to know about marketing your brand and being the best. His journey generally, from a barman, to an reporter, OAP, sports journalist with many awards to his credit, not just stopping there, a media and communications director of the football Club, Vandrezzer FC. According to him, he doesn't have to be braggadocios about it, as he is still in his prime and not yet in his peak. 

Join us on Monday, November 8 as we go through an unravelling session with the war, the rush, the MightyGeorge on Business Flight with VNB, 12:30pm on Comfort 95.1 fm, Uyo.

What if you're told that you're not necessarily making progress in your business even if you're making money everyday? What about you're told how long your business would last even before you begin?What if you're also told the mistakes you'd make before you start and possible ways to avoid so you don't fold up?

These days the term 'branding' is used everywhere, in any context without proper attention to what it is. What about brand ideation, brand communication and two more strategies any successful business can build on to be more. What is the place of strategy in business, the things that ensure longevity in business? Why you need to see long term, to feel the picture and learn strategies of establishing these principles. Why do brands fail or fold up after some point even after being at the top for long?

Join us on Business Flight with VNB, this Monday, 12:30pm on Comfort 95.1 fm, Uyo as we go through an unravelling session with Philip Asuquotes, a brand strategy expert as he majors in 'YOUR BRAND'. I wouldn't miss it, would you?

Asides building, consistency, hardwork, strategy and so on, there is another, very important yet underestimated strata of business...which has led to the ruin and detriment of lots of businesses when underplayed on. That is the place of law in your business.

Asides God, being the supreme being over all affairs of man, the second is the authority you subject yourself to which is the constituted authority that enacts laws and enforces them. Business on the other hand survives with the law.

Business empires have fallen, because this foundation wasn't laid properly. Why should a lawyer be the first person to talk to once you have an idea of a startup? What are those things often overlooked in business but are errors that could cause serious damage to it? What is the benefit first, of paying tax and why do you need to pay it? What bodies ensure that these taxes don't become too much to suppress your business? Asides building, protecting what is being built is also another vital point.

Join Victor Bassey on Business Flight with VNB as he plays host to Barr. Etido David, a legal practitioner and associate as he takes us through this session on, your business and the law. Mondays, 12:30pm on Comfort 95.1 fm, Uyo.
