The pursuit of happiness closely mirrors the aspirations of Michael Ojo, the founder, and it’s no coincidence that his life story resonates with the themes depicted in “The Pursuit of Happyness,” the movie starring Will Smith.
As a first-generation American, Ojo comes from a background of hardworking Nigerian parents who, even in their retirement years, tirelessly worked to provide the quintessential “American standard” of living for their family. Surrounded by loving siblings, friends, and a nurturing upbringing, Ojo seemed to have all the ingredients for a prosperous life.
Driven by the ambition to work on Wall Street, Ojo pursued his goal fervently. At the age of 17, he secured an internship at a boutique investment firm before even starting his freshman year of college. Throughout his undergraduate studies at Seton Hall University, Ojo juggled part-time work on Wall Street, leveraging his experience to secure internships at prestigious firms like Merrill Lynch, Commerce Bank (now TD Bank), and Goldman Sachs, where he eventually transitioned into a full-time role upon graduation.
However, after over six years in the fast-paced world of Wall Street, Ojo began to feel the toll of long hours and a lack of fulfillment in his work. Despite achieving his dream of working at Goldman Sachs, he found himself sacrificing valuable time with loved ones and friends. This realization prompted him to abruptly leave his job and take some time off to reassess his priorities.
Finding fulfillment outside of the traditional Wall Street environment, Ojo ventured into entrepreneurship with a longtime friend and business partner, establishing investment, consulting, construction, and product distribution companies. While the highs of entrepreneurship were exhilarating, Ojo encountered dark and challenging moments that forced him to question his true purpose in life.
A transformative experience during a yoga retreat in Mexico over New Year’s 2023, a completely new experience for him, became a transformative realization to a new perspective on life. Through yoga, he discovered the importance of maintaining a healthy balance between mind, body, and financial growth, guided by intentional goals. Ojo embarked on a personal and professional journey to pursue true happiness and now seeks to empower others to do the same by helping them identify their Intent Goals for life.
Having undertaken personal and professional growth to pursue true happiness, Ojo has built a platform to help others on their own journeys. Intent Goal aims to empower individuals to pursue their version of happiness, sharing this life journey with like-minded souls.
