| Inside Team Eternity: “Defe Defe,” Team Conflicts & The Truth Behind The Rumours | 17 oct. 2026 | 01:12:31 | |
How did Team Eternity Ghana begin? What really went into the making of “Defe Defe”? And how does a team built on faith handle conflict, loss and public scrutiny? On this episode of The Peswa Podcast, we sit down with Nii Larte Lartey, founder and leader of Team Eternity Ghana, and Nana Yaw Apare, the group's music director, for a conversation about the journey behind one of Ghana's most talked-about gospel collectives. Before the chart-topping records, viral moments and nationwide recognition, there was a vision: to reach a generation through music and the message of Christ. We go back to the inception of Team Eternity, explore the experiences that shaped the group and unpack the journey that led to the phenomenon that is “Defe Defe.” But this conversation goes beyond the music.Team Eternity's story is about more than a hit song. It is about vision, relationships, perseverance, faith and what it takes to build something that lasts. If you've ever wondered what happens behind the scenes of a successful music group, this conversation is for you. #ThePeswaPodcast #TeamEternityGhana #DefeDefe #NiiLarteLartey #GospelMusic #GhanaianGospel | |||

| "Ghana Has No Plan For Young People" – TK Azaglo, Future Of Africa | 03 oct. 2026 | 01:30:05 | |
What does it really mean for a child to grow up on the streets of Ghana? In this deeply confronting episode of The Peswa Podcast, we sit down with Torwomenye Kwasi Mawuli Azaglo (TK), Founder and President of Future of Africa (FOA), for one of the most difficult conversations we've had about children living in street situations. TK doesn't speak about streetism from a distance. For years, he has gone into the streets of Accra, built relationships with children living there, listened to their stories and experienced their realities firsthand. And in this conversation, he holds nothing back. He shares some of the horrifying realities he has witnessed—from the story of a young boy who was shot by police and later died, to young girls facing sexual violence, pregnancy and devastating experiences while trying to survive on the streets. TK challenges the way Ghanaian society looks at street children. What happens when a child has nowhere safe to sleep? What happens when they are hungry? What happens when they are abused? What happens when the institutions that are supposed to protect them cannot provide a sustainable way out? From leaving his career at Ashesi University to dedicate himself fully to Future of Africa, to building programmes that provide rehabilitation, education, healthcare, skills training and pathways to employment, TK shares the journey that transformed his understanding of what it means to serve. This is not simply a conversation about street children. It is a conversation about poverty, abuse, childhood, responsibility, government, social systems, compassion and the kind of future we are creating for Ghana's children. Watch until the end. This is The Peswa Podcast. #ThePeswaPodcast #FutureOfAfrica #TKAzaglo #Ghana #StreetChildren #Streetism #YouthDevelopment #SocialImpact #GhanaPodcast #Africa | |||
| "I will tell you everything” - Prince Kofi Amoabeng | 26 sept. 2026 | 02:35:37 | |
What really happened to UT Bank? In this deeply revealing episode of The Peswa Podcast, Captain (Rtd.) Prince Kofi Amoabeng, founder and former CEO of UT, opens up about one of the most consequential chapters of his life — the rise, transformation and eventual collapse of UT Bank. Captain Amoabeng takes us back to the beginning — from his early struggles with conventional banking and the creation of Unique Trust Financial Services, to the journey of trying to become a bank, the challenges of obtaining a banking licence, and eventually acquiring an existing bank and transforming it into UT Bank. He speaks candidly about the decisions that shaped UT, the mistakes that were made, the people he trusted, and the internal problems that emerged as the company transitioned from a small entrepreneurial operation into a major financial institution. Amoabeng revisits the events surrounding the 2017 revocation of UT Bank's licence, his understanding of what went wrong, the non-performing loans and financial difficulties facing the institution, and why he believes UT could have been saved. He also opens up about his relationship with former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, and why he later felt betrayed when UT Bank came under pressure. He reflects on what he believes he got wrong, the people who disappointed him, the political environment surrounding UT's collapse, and the lessons he believes African entrepreneurs need to understand before attempting to build institutions that outlive them. This is a conversation about UT Bank — but it is also a conversation about power, influence, trust and the cost of building in Africa. Watch until the end. This is Captain Kofi Amoabeng like you've never heard him before.

| Your Decisions Affect More Than You — Eric Gugua on Ambition, Suffering & Family | 11 sept. 2026 | 00:49:33 | |
In this episode of The Peswa Podcast, we sit down with Eric Gugua for a deeply personal conversation about identity, purpose, ambition, suffering, family and the price of becoming the person you were meant to be. Eric takes us through his journey of building Saneside and Beyond Creatives, and the lessons he has learned along the way about knowing who you are—and deciding early what you want your life to stand for. We talk about why it is important to define yourself before the world defines you, and why some of the most meaningful things you can pursue will inevitably demand sacrifice, pain and suffering. But the conversation goes deeper. Eric opens up about growing up through difficult circumstances with a single mother and how those experiences shaped the person he became. He reflects on the weight of individual decisions and a sobering reality many people don't think about enough: One person's decision can put an entire family under attack.

| Eldad Nutakor: The Value of the Inner Life | 26 juil. 2026 | 01:29:08 | |
In this episode of The Peswa Podcast, we sit down with Eldad Nutakor, founder of Oxygene, for a powerful and deeply reflective conversation on ideas, purpose, and what it truly means to build. Eldad shares a unique perspective on ideas—challenging the notion that they are simply created, and instead exploring the belief that ideas often come from the divine. He explains why ideas matter, not just as tools for business, but as responsibilities tied to purpose. The conversation goes deeper into his belief that entrepreneurial greatness cannot be fully taught. While skills can be learned, he argues that true builders are often called, not made. This is why there can only be one Elon Musk and one Mark Zuckerberg—not because others lack ambition, but because greatness is rooted in individuality. Eldad introduces a powerful idea: “You cannot be anything you want to be, but you can be everything you were created for.” He challenges the culture of limitless possibility and instead calls for alignment with purpose. We also explore the importance of the inner life—the unseen foundation that shapes everything outward. From discipline to identity, Eldad explains why who you are internally determines what you can sustain externally. This episode will shift how you think about ideas, success, and your place in the world. Watch now. #ThePeswaPodcast #Entrepreneurship #Purpose #Ideas #Execution #InnerLife | |||

From technology to operations and customer experience, Kofi explains why businesses that fail to adapt eventually collapse. One of the strongest moments in this conversation is his argument that many Ghanaian and African problems ultimately come down to a lack of political willpower.
