From a broke student to a millionaire in just one year, Yomi Denzel's journey is a remarkable testament to the power of learning and relentless determination. Raised in a financially struggling family, Yomi's father was an undocumented immigrant who returned to school to secure employment, while his mother worked 10-hour days without a higher education to support them.
The turning point for Yomi came at age 8, when he spent a week with his best friend's family and saw how their lives were free from financial stress. Unlike his own family, they could travel, dine out, and enjoy long vacations—experiencing a level of freedom that sparked Yomi’s desire for success and entrepreneurship. Initially, he believed he would need to climb the corporate ladder and create his own business by age 30.
After graduating from high school, Yomi attended HEC Lausanne but found the curriculum unaligned with his entrepreneurial ambitions. Determined to carve his own path, he began self-educating online, learning how to launch an online business.
