Being First and Fearless with Zulum Elumogo

First Black male Student Union President at LSE, the youngest ever board member of the Barbican, Europe’s largest Multi-arts Centre, Managing Director of TC & Friends at the age of 26, AND he made the 2024 Forbes 30 under 30 list. It’s hard to believe that the guest in this episode, Zulum Elumogo, achieved all this by the time he was 28 years old. So, of course, we had to have Zulum on Seat at My Table to wrack his brain and understand the secret to his success.

In this conversation we talk about the importance of visual communication, how we are shaped by the images we are surrounded by and Zulum’s role within TC & Friends, an international design agency helping brands convey their message. We also discuss why he has managed to break the mould and consistently be the first in several positions, where his fearlessness comes from and leading with purpose, how being a second-generation migrant has shaped his journey and what he believes has enabled him to achieve so much so young.

Topics covered include:

• The power of images and how they shape who we are
• Using storytelling to convey a message
• Attention to detail and why it is important
• Leading with authenticity to win business and build relationships
• Being fearless and leading the way
• Changing your perception on aging
• Having fun and living without regrets
• Forging your own path as a second-generation migrant
• Using money as tool to unlock potential and empower others
