Adewole Ademolake, MRICS, on the power of collaboration and the importance of resilience.

In this episode of the Building Foundations podcast I am joined by Adewole Ademolake, a Chartered Development Manager, and the author of the Alake Dreaming blog.    Adewole writes a blog which really showcases the journey of a Surveyor but also more about the industry as a whole - a must read!    During Adewole's career to date he has faced many obstacles and quite frankly barriers which many may run away from but with pure passion for the sector and a burning desire to get to where he wants to be.. Adewole is now a Chartered Surveyor doing the job he loves.    In this episode we talk all about;    - Adewole's career to date and the obstacles he has faced.   - Why having family support and role models has been pivotal for him.   - Graduating with Building Surveying but moving into Development.   - Not passing your APC first time and why that isn't the end.   - The difference between working in the public and private sector.   - Struggling to get your first role and why you must persevere.   - The role of a Development Manager.  Plus so much more, including lots of advice!    A truly inspiring, motivating, and insightful conversation.    To connect with Adewole go here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adewole-ademolake/    To see his blog go here: https://www.alakedreaming.com/
