Because the heartbeat of every story begins with a dream.
When I first stepped into the world of radio, I wasn’t chasing fame, airtime, or applause. I was chasing ambition. I’ve always believed that behind every person lies a powerful story shaped by goals, dreams, setbacks, and comebacks. And more than anything else, I wanted to listen.
So, I created Edition on Ambition - a show I proudly hosted and organized at Belfield FM.
This wasn’t just a segment. It was a mission. A platform to celebrate career dreams, dissect failures, and understand the thinking patterns of young minds in transition.
🎯 Why Ambition?
Because it’s the first thing I want to know about anyone.
"What do you want to become?"
"What drives you?"
"What keeps you up at night?"
Career goals fascinate me - not just the destinations, but the decisions, the detours, and the discipline behind them. That’s what inspired this show.
I believe failures are more powerful than success stories. While success inspires, failure teaches. It reveals how we think, how we adapt, and how we solve problems. It builds strategic thinking, resilience, and most importantly, self-awareness.
🎙️ The Show: Edition on Ambition
Each episode was raw, real, and deeply personal.
I spoke with random students - not prepped influencers or rehearsed speakers, but everyday dreamers with extraordinary stories.
What we talked about:
Their career goals and how they plan to reach them.
The challenges they’ve faced, and the mindset that helped them push through.
Their failures, and the lessons those failures left behind.
How their ambitions evolved over time.
Some guests gave me tactical insights on how to tackle roadblocks. Others showed me what not to do, and why that’s equally important, but every single one taught me something new.
đź§ What I Learned as an RJ
Being on air wasn’t just about voice control or timing — it was about holding space for someone else’s story. And that taught me:
How to ask the right questions, the kind that trigger self-reflection.
How to listen without interrupting, and dive deeper into thought patterns.
How to keep conversations engaging, emotional, and actionable.
And most of all, how to celebrate ambition in its rawest, realest form.
All these were collisions of vision, struggle, and possibility.
🌍 Why This Journey Mattered
Edition on Ambition gave me something I always anticipated:
A glimpse into the diversity of dreams. From aspiring astronauts to social entrepreneurs, digital artists to policy analysts - I was amazed by the clarity and courage in so many young minds.
And in every story, I found pieces of my own passion mirrored back at me.
🔮 What’s Next?
This journey made one thing clear - I’m not just passionate about ambition. I’m obsessed with unlocking it in others. Whether it's through:
Podcasts and media.
Career mentorship.
Workshops on personal growth.
I want to keep building platforms where ambition can breathe, expand, and take shape.
when people talk about their goals, they shine differently.
đź’¬ Final Note
"Some guests taught me how to approach life. Others taught me how not to. But all of them taught me something - and that’s what made this show unforgettable."
Edition on Ambition wasn’t just my show. It was a mirror to the evolving ambitions of a generation.
