I’m Olaitan Asilokun and This is How I Work
- Location: Duluth, MN
- Current Gig: Accounting Student at University of Minnesota Duluth, Labovitz School of Business and Economics
- One word that describes how you work: Intently
What apps/software/tools can’t you live without? Why?
Snapchat, spotify and the reminder app on my phone. I love keeping in touch with my friends I don’t see everyday, music helps me relax and bring my thoughts together and I forget things easily, so the reminder app helps me.
What’s your best time-saving shortcut/life hack?
Doing things as they come! This is recent for me, but I’ve realized overworking myself has never ended well.
What everyday thing are you better at than everyone else? What’s your secret?
Im a good listener. My “secret” is to talk less about yourself and be engaged in whatever the person is talking about and you might learn a thing or two.
What do you listen to while you work?
I either work in silent or I love gospel music, afrobeats or some soul music.
What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?
No one is better than the next person. This has helped me numerous times throughout my life, because it’s so easy to compare yourself to others
Where do you find inspiration and new ideas?
I get inspiration from my friends/family and the people I surround myself with on the daily. I have gotten into reading recently and have found some inspirations through that.

What’s your favorite quote?
“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” — Martin Luther King jr
