The Work I’m Built For: My Next Chapter

In 2025 I lost a lot—work, stability, and people I love. In return, I got something harder to measure but more powerful: perspective.

I decided the next five years would be dedicated to one question:

How can I contribute meaningfully to healthcare? 

Why healthcare?

Healthcare isn’t an abstract “industry” for me, it’s personal: 

• I lost my mom to cancer.

• My uncle died from complications of alcoholism.

• I have family members thriving with sickle cell, thanks to community and access to care.

• I’m improving my relationship with food and building healthier habits.

• I genuinely see myself doing my life’s work here.

So this is the lane I’m intentionally operating from:

…with a clear, focused plan for how I show up on LinkedIn, digital platforms and in real life.

The 5 Behaviors Helping Me Navigate This Season

1. Get ruthless about focus

   I use LinkedIn filters to narrow down who I’m building with: healthcare organizations, health tech startups, and innovation teams in specific regions. This turns a noisy feed into a curated market. 

2. Be ready before the connection happens

   When someone checks my profile, my headline, About section, and Featured projects should instantly tell a coherent story:

   • Healthcare + innovation

   • 0→1 product building

   • Digital transformation at scale

3. Lead with contribution, not credentials

   Every DM, post, or comment is anchored on:

   • “What can I build, fix, or clarify for this person/team?”

   • “What signal can I add to their noise?”

4. Turn your joy into visible value

   I pick work that sits at the intersection of what I’m good at, what I care about, and what creates real value—then I share the process in public.

5. Take risks, don’t gamble

   I’m willing to experiment, ship fast, and pivot. I’m not willing to bet my integrity, health, or family on short-term hype.

What I Shipped in 2025

A few highlights from a very unplanned, very formative year: 

• Fractional CTO & Consultant – Metric Health

  Helping shape a low-code talent strategy to identify and empower the best builders in healthcare.

• Built myir.io (0 → 1 in under 72 hours)

  A SaaS productivity product inspired by Spotify Wrapped, born from a personal itch and a collaboration with Kim Rohrer.

• Launched taiwoandbimboodukoya.com → Faith-based LMS

  From launch to the first 200 active users in under 7 days, evolving into a SaaS LMS for faith-based organizations with Fountain of Life Church.

• Launched LOAM – withloam.com

  A personal devotional and community platform helping people practice and share their faith journey. 0→1 in 60 days; first 50 users in under 30 days.

• Expanded ParallelScore Innovation Lab into South Africa

  Extending a cross-continent innovation engine with roots in San Francisco, Chicago, Nigeria, and now South Africa.

Behind those bullet points are the real infrastructure: my wife, my family, my friends, and my broader community who refused to let me lose my sense of dignity. 

How I’m Framing the Next 3–5 Years

High-Level Roadmap

This isn’t just a career plan; it’s a contribution thesis.

If You’re Also Setting the Stage for Your Next Season

Here’s my simple prompt for you:

• What space is personal enough that you’re willing to stay when it gets hard?

• What 0→1 projects could you ship in the next 90 days that prove your thesis?

• Who on LinkedIn is already serving the people you want to serve—and how can you create value for them first?

If this resonates, follow along, connect, or reach out—especially if you’re building at the intersection of healthcare, faith, and community.

Let’s see what we can build together.
