Today, Olushola Olaleye celebrates his 30th birthday in a truly impactful way. Instead of a typical birthday party, he has chosen to mark this milestone by hosting the Audacity Conference in Lagos, Nigeria, a gathering designed to inspire bold ideas and actionable breakthroughs.

The event, themed “Fearless: Turning Bold Ideas into Breakthroughs,” reflects Olushola’s commitment to creating spaces where young leaders, entrepreneurs, and creatives can embrace courage and transform their visions into reality.

Olushola announced the conference on 3rd November 2025 with a video on his Instagram handle. In less than 24 hours, the announcement led to over 8,000 registrations, showing the hope and hunger young Nigerians have for spaces that encourage courage and actionable growth.

Instead of throwing a typical birthday party, Olushola chose to impact lives and inspire bold thinking among leaders, entrepreneurs, creatives, and young professionals. That choice speaks to his personal mission : to help others break mental barriers and live with resolute purpose.

The Audacity Conference was designed as more than just another seminar. It’s a platform for transformation, where courage meets action, and where dreams are matched with practical steps toward execution. Through powerful talks and shared experiences, attendees are encouraged to embrace bravery in the face of uncertainty, lean into their visions, and pursue impact over comfort.

This year’s edition brought together three influential speakers whose lives demonstrate bold thinking lived out:

Mrs. Ibukun Awosika, celebrated Nigerian business leader, author, and first female Chairperson of First Bank of Nigeria. Her voice is iconic in entrepreneurship and leadership circles.

Apostle Emmanuel Iren, founder and lead pastor of Celebration Church International and a respected gospel leader who has written and published books on purpose and leadership.

Tricia Biz, a dynamic business voice known for empowering young professionals in creative entrepreneurship. (Speaker background widely referenced among Nigerian entrepreneurial communities.)

Together, these speakers brought depth, perspective, and real-world insight to the theme, encouraging attendees to discover what boldness really looks like in everyday life.

Olushola Olaleye’s choice to dedicate his birthday to this conference reflects not only his personal values but a wider cultural shift where young people are refusing to dream small. Rather than focusing on self-celebration, he has focused on others’ growth, inspiring a generation to chase audacious goals with strategy and courage.

For many attendees, the Audacity Conference is more than an event. It’s a beginning of stepping into ideas once feared, transforming them into breakthroughs that will shape careers, communities, and futures.

The ripple effect from the conference will continue to spread driven by audacity, courage, and unstoppable purpose.

Happy birthday, Olushola!

Thank you for this beautiful initiative!
