Today we’d like to introduce you to Tayo Lasaki
Hi Tayo, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I have always loved to do things with my hands and try to repair broken things around the house so while I was seriously searching for what the next step I wanted to take in life was 10yrs ago, being a carpenter fell in my part.
It was a roller coaster at the beginning but one thing I never did was give up. I didn’t want to fail or stop so I kept Persevering and pushing till today and it doesn’t even end here, lol. I started as a carpenter and being a female most people didn’t take me seriously. I had to do a lot of convincing to get jobs.
I have now grown to be more than just a woodworker/carpenter as I have acquired more skills on the way. One thing about me is that I keep learning, I don’t stop. I try to grow and learn new trends to stay in the game. I always want to stand out, no matter how little so I work so hard to make sure I do that.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road
I initially struggled with getting jobs at the beginning of my career cause I had to do a lot of convincing being a female
I have also struggled with getting stable help/employee
This job requires a lot of physical labor and it’s more like going to work out at work all day, everyday, lol
