The Dangerous Pivot || Feyifunmi Oginni | The Breakthrough Podcast Ep 2

In this second episode of The Breakthrough with Abiola Iyiola, we sit down with Feyifunmi Oginni ‪@feyifunmioginni‬ — a producer and director whose journey into the film industry began with one of the scariest decisions of her life. Feyifunmi shares how she resigned from a seemingly successful banking job because it didn’t align with her creative nature. No backup plan. No new job waiting. And she didn’t even tell her parents. Just weeks later, a chance encounter in church changed everything. She met Feyzo, who invited her to show up on a movie set as a waka pass. That single act of showing up opened doors she never imagined. From unpaid gigs and volunteering, to scheduling social media, planning awareness campaigns, and doing PR work she had already started learning, Feyifunmi steadily proved her value. One conversation with Kayode Kasum, who told her she would make a fantastic producer, marked the beginning of a remarkable career shift. In this episode, she opens up about: Leaving a “safe” career to choose fulfillment Starting again with no title, no pay, and no guarantees Why she believes she would have been miserable if she stayed in banking Studying for her master’s degree in the UK and returning to a completely changed industry Sending countless DMs just to get noticed and prove herself The power of volunteering, alignment, and showing up consistently This conversation is packed with real-life lessons for creators, filmmakers, and creatives navigating uncertainty, career transitions, and the courage it takes to bet on yourself. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a life that looks good but feels wrong, this episode will speak directly to you. Subscribe Like, share and leave a comment !
