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”🥂

The Untold Story of McBernard Akpabey, CEO of MCB Studio Rentals
McBernard Akpabey is the Founder of MCB Studio Rentals , recognized as Ghana’s largest studio equipment rental company valued at 7 figures plus. His journey is not one of luck, trends or social media hype. It’s a story of collapse, obsession, precision, and discipline.
After an intense A.M.A and landguard dispute that nearly ended everything, McBernard didn’t just “bounce back”, he returned obsessed. Obsessed with details. Obsessed with excellence. Obsessed with perfecting every millimeter of his gears and systems.
He adopted one strict rule that changed everything and that rule is the same reason MCB Studio Rentals now stands at the top of the industry.
In this conversation, we dive deep into:
– Why most photographers and creatives fail
– The harsh realities behind building a business in Ghana’s creative economy
– What it really takes to be the number one studio rental company
– And one powerful truth McBernard has never shared publicly before
This episode is a blueprint, a warning, a motivation, and a masterclass wrapped into one.
If you are a creative, entrepreneur, investor or simply someone trying to build something meaningful —this conversation is one you cannot afford to skip.
