I am Ololade, a Pure and Applied Chemistry graduate who has a decade of experience working as a Customer Service and Customer Experience. I am currently working at modifying my career path to include business analytics or business development.

I am a Product Manager for global Fortune-500 Oil & Gas corporation with a focus on the IT function. I am dedicated to delivering impactful solutions that drive efficiency and innovation. With a focus on aligning cross-functional teams and bridging strategic goals with technical execution. I ensure that my ERP technology platform delivers value to the business.

Howdy everyone! I am a social, curious, and eager college student that wants to kickstart my career. I am thrilled to have found a community—filled with people that want to improve their lives. I come from a creative background (art/design). I heavily enjoy brand positioning and marketing. I am deeply interested in finding out how the world really functions. This curiosity motivates me to study Economics and Political Science at UC Berkeley. With all the resources MPH and Brian provides I hope to land an opportunity in high ticket sales, marketing, or consulting. Although I currently have no clue what, eventually I aspire to create my own business, and provide scalable value. Excited to see how this journey plays out together. I feel I will learn much from this community: rich of both professional and personal experience!

One year ago, I reached a breaking point. I was working 12-hour days, barely sleeping, and constantly feeling overwhelmed. The pressure to keep up with everything led to burnout. I was exhausted, uninspired, and questioning if this path was even worth it anymore. So, I made the hardest decision of my life. I stepped back. I cut my work hours in half, reorganized the way I ran my business, refocused on my health, and prioritized time with family. At first, it felt impossible. I feared falling behind. But something incredible happened. By giving myself room to breathe, I came back stronger. My creativity flourished, my productivity improved, and I was more energized than ever. By focusing on the things that I enjoyed doing I was able to feel energized while doing them. Looking back, burnout wasn’t a sign of weakness—it was a signal to reset. Lessons Learned: 1. Success is not defined by how hard you work, but by how smart you work. 2. Rest is not a reward—it’s a requirement. 3. True productivity happens when you protect your energy. 4. The fear of falling behind is just that—a fear. Prioritize yourself, and success will follow. 5. Balance isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. Have you ever felt this way? What's the most effective way to prevent burnout?
