BUILDING LEGACY BRANDS THAT OUTLIVE US | AMBASSADOR NWOSU (CO-FOUNDER, CUTIX CABLES)

LEGACY OVER LIFESTYLE Too many businesses in our region burn bright, and burn out. They rise with the founder, and fall when that founder steps back. But what if we built differently? What if we stopped building for survival… and started building for succession? In this landmark episode of ONYE AFIA, we’re asking: What does it really take to create a brand that outlives you? Our special guest is Ambassador (Dr.) Nwosu, industrialist, mentor, and co-founder of Cutix Cables, one of the rare few indigenous companies in Nigeria’s Southeast that has weathered time, leadership transitions, and market shifts… and still stands strong. With wisdom drawn from decades in manufacturing and governance, Ambassador Nwosu breaks down the myths, the mistakes, and the mindsets around legacy building, while offering hard-earned advice to the new generation of entrepreneurs trying to build beyond the here and now. EPISODE SEGMENTS & INSIGHTS Segment 1: Legacy vs Lifestyle Businesses • What separates a hustle from an institution • Why scaling requires more than skill, it demands structure • How building for survival often limits sustainability Segment 2: Cutix as a Case Study • The early days of Cutix Cables, from small beginnings to national brand • Moving from founder-driven to structure-driven growth • The foundational decisions every founder should make in Year One Segment 3: Succession & Stewardship • Why most Nigerian founders avoid conversations about succession • What real, healthy succession looks like • Examples of brands that collapsed due to poor or delayed transition planning Segment 4: Institutional Thinking in a Solo-Founder Economy • The shift from personal branding to institutional credibility • Why governance (boards, advisors, systems) is essential, even for small businesses • How young entrepreneurs can start thinking legacy early Segment 5: Legacy as Culture, Not Just Product • The core values that outlast trends, tech, and even founders • How to keep a brand relevant across generations • Why legacy is more about vision and culture than cashflow “Legacy isn’t what we leave behind; it’s what we build to keep going. It’s not just about the founder’s success, it’s about the system that sustains others.” This episode is a challenge to every builder, dreamer, and hustler in the Southeast: Don't just build to eat. Build to endure. Whether you run a fashion house, a factory, a tech startup, or a family bakery, this conversation will help you think deeper, plan better, and lead with legacy in mind.
