THE STANDOUT CEO 1.0

THE STANDOUT CEO 1.0

The Capital Masterclass for Business Leaders Who Are Done Playing Small

"The most expensive thing in your business right now isn't your rent, your staff, or your suppliers.

It's what you don't know about your own money."

~ Dr. Festus Odigie-Erewele

This Is Not For Everyone.

This masterclass was not built for the curious.

It was not built for the uncommitted.

It was not built for the CEO who is still waiting for the "right time."

It was built for the business leader who has decided that 2026 will not end the same way 2025 did.

If you are running a business in Nigeria right now and nobody has ever sat you down to walk you through your cost of funds, your idle capital strategy, and how to price for actual profit then every single month you delay this conversation is costing you money you will never recover.

This is that conversation.

WHAT IS THE STANDOUT CEO 1.0 MASTERCLASS?

The Standout CEO 1.0 is a curated, live, high-impact capital masterclass designed exclusively for CEOs, founders, and senior business leaders who are ready to lead their finances not follow them.

This is not a motivational talk.

This is not a free webinar recycled and repackaged.

This is not theory lifted from a textbook.

This is two days of precise, applicable, life-changing financial intelligence delivered by two of Nigeria's most respected names in business finance and leadership.

WHAT YOU WILL WALK AWAY WITH

When you leave this room on August 9, you will know with total clarity how to do what most CEOs in Nigeria cannot:

✦ Access Capital Strategically — equity AND non-equity options most business owners never explore. You will know exactly what is available, how to qualify, and how to negotiate terms in your favour.

✦ Calculate & Use Your Cost of Funds — this single number can transform how you make every financial decision in your business. Most CEOs have never calculated it. After this masterclass, you will never ignore it again.

✦ Build an Idle Funds Strategy — the money sitting in your current account right now is losing value in real time. You will leave with a clear, actionable plan for putting every idle naira to work.

✦ Price for Profit, Not Just Revenue — discover how to build a pricing model that protects your margins even in an inflationary economy. No more guessing. No more running at a loss you can't see.

✦ Explore Alternative Investment Options — learn how to build personal wealth alongside your business, using instruments and strategies available to you right now.

✦ Make Financial Decisions Like a True CEO — not by instinct, not by fear, not by copying what others are doing but with intelligence, strategy, and complete confidence.

THIS IS WHAT ₦40,000 LOOKS LIKE WHEN IT WORKS FOR YOU

Let us be direct.

₦40,000 is what most Lagos restaurants charge for a table for two on a Saturday evening.

It is less than one month of a mid-level subscription service.

It is a fraction of what one bad pricing decision costs your business every quarter.

And yet, for ₦40,000, you get two full days with two of Nigeria's finest financial minds plus a capital strategy, a pricing framework, an idle funds plan, and the confidence to lead your business finances like the CEO you actually are.

If you walked away from this masterclass and implemented just one of the strategies taught one pricing correction, one idle fund deployed, one funding source unlocked the return on your ₦40,000 investment would be measured in hundreds of thousands, if not millions.

This is not a cost. This is the most precise investment you will make in your business this year.
