EP.1 Jidé Maduako - Co-Founder Of Yoke Network

 

Welcome to the first episode of the Black Founders Series. Meet Jidé Maduako, the founder of Yoke - a UK startup helping creators build sustainable careers on TikTok.

He takes the hot seat today to talk about his entrepreneurial journey and the movements he supports before putting his multi-tasking, improv, and knowledge skills to the test.

Listen and find out how he did!

The Gameshow outline:


1. T-Rex Runner

Our guests test their multi-tasking skills answering questions whilst playing T-rex runner. The aim is to try and stay alive for a minute to get a total of 5 points per question. There are 3 questions. Our guests will gain a point every 12 seconds:

  • 140 game pts (12 seconds) = 1 HOKH pts

  • 280 game pts (24 seconds) = 2 HOKH pts

  • 420 game pts (36 seconds) = 3 HOKH pts

  • 560 game pts (48 seconds) = 4 HOKH pts

  • 700 game pts (1minute) = 5 HOKH pts

  • Maximum = 15 HOKH pts

2. The presentation curated by HOKH

Our guests don’t have a single clue what they’ll be pitching, but it’s a fake startup idea curated by me. We’ll go through the problem, solution, and business model within a few slides. This will be a test of how well they can sell a product they know nothing about.

Take note: (when recording this podcast, our guest and I were both on camera allowing screen share).

They’ll be scored based on:

  • Confidence = /5 HOKH pts

  • Believability = /5 HOKH pts

  • Answering questions = /5 HOKH pts

  • Maximum = 15 HOKH pts

3. The Fake Sponsor Advertisement

Our guests will have to perform a fake product advert. These product concept ideas are created by the Bored Elon Musk Twitter Parody Account and then turned into advert scripts.

They’ll be scored based on:

  • Delivery = /2 HOKH pts

  • Maximum = 2 HOKH pts


4. True or False

Our guests will have to answer 3 true or false questions about founders, personalities, net-worths and more.

  • Question 1 = 2 HOKH pts

  • Question 2 = 2 HOKH pts

  • Question 3 = 2 HOKH pts
