Talk No Dey Cook Rice Podcast
When we were younger, we all said we would be pilots, astronauts, and "big people" when we grow up. Here we are, "in the future," and we can clearly see how it is almost impossible to achieve those big dreams.
What happened? Did we just sit aloof, expecting life to turn out great?
Well, I sit down every week on the "Talk No Dey Cook Rice Podcast" (which translates as—Talk Is Hot Air) and interview young people who are literally living their dream lives in this somewhat “hard Ghana”.
I delve into their minds to understand how they have managed to keep their heads above water.
The Podcast is a peer mentorship program. Simply getting young people who are doing exceptionally well for themselves to mentor other young people who want to do big things “when they grow up”🥂

Why Konnected Minds is Ghana’s #1 Podcast | Derrick Abaitey
Since stepping into the podcast space, one person I’ve quietly learned from and drawn inspiration from is Mr. Derrick Abaitey, host of Ghana’s number one podcast, Konnected Minds. So, when his team reached out saying Derrick loved my podcast and wanted to be a guest, it honestly felt surreal.
Recording with him was a different experience altogether. His wisdom, confidence, and practical insights on scaling a business had my mind buzzing with excitement.
In today’s world, where it’s easy to complain, rant online, or chase the next trend, Derrick offers a refreshing reminder: real leadership begins with personal responsibility. His message is as clear as it is powerful — no one owes you anything.
Our conversation unpacks the realities of building in Ghana, staying true to your mission, and why creating opportunities at home is far better than chasing them abroad.
If you’re a leader, entrepreneur, or young professional charting your path, this is an episode that will shift your perspective.
