In this powerful episode of The Peswa Podcast, we sit down with Joseph Nti — host of Sincerely Accra and founder of Off The Top Show — for an honest, inspiring deep dive into the reality of building passion projects while navigating a full-time corporate career.
From his formative years at AIS to graduating from Ashesi University, Joseph shares how his creative instincts were nurtured early on, leading him to launch campus publications and eventually grow into one of Ghana’s most recognisable podcast voices. 
Today, he balances a demanding 9–5 career in banking with producing culturally resonant content that speaks to urban Ghanaian youth — proving that purpose and profession don’t have to exist in conflict.
In this conversation, Joseph opens up about:
• The transition from student creative to corporate professional
• Managing time, energy and burnout while running multiple shows
• Building Sincerely Accra into a culturally influential podcast rooted in urban Ghanaian life and pop culture
• The mindset required to pursue passion projects when life demands stability
• Why creatives shouldn’t wait for permission to create opportunities for themselves
Sincerely Accra, part of the Gold Coast Report network, has become known for its vibrant, fast-paced commentary on urban life in Accra, blending humour, pop culture, and listener interaction. 
This episode is a must-watch for:
• Young professionals chasing purpose beyond their day jobs
• Creatives struggling to stay consistent while working corporate roles
• Anyone trying to build something meaningful without quitting stability too early
Joseph’s story is a masterclass in discipline, identity, and long-term vision — a reminder that you don’t always have to quit your job to build your dream… you can build in parallel.
