Choosing Well While Evolving with Jesse Dan-Yusuf

He built something from scratch, watched it fall apart, and had to decide who he was on the other side of that. There was a season he stopped answering to his own name in the industry he built. He almost didn't come back. This is not a polished success story. This is what it actually costs to lose everything you built and choose to build again. In this episode of Choosing Well, Jesse Dan-Yusuf — creative entrepreneur, pastor, and founder of Fireworks — joins Nana-Hauwa Ndirpaya for an unfiltered conversation on: ✅ The unlikely, almost accidental way Fireworks was born ✅ The business decision that quietly cost him everything ✅ What he kept hidden from his own team, and why ✅ The one sentence from a friend that changed how he sees failure ✅ Why he walked away from pastoring for a season — and what it took to come back ✅ The mindset shift that changed how he prices and values his work ✅ How he now decides which ideas are worth chasing and which aren't ✅ What "choosing well" looks like for him now, on the other side of it all Whether you're building something from scratch, sitting with a failure you haven't told anyone about, or wondering if you're allowed to try again — this conversation will meet you exactly where you are. 📌 Connect with Jesse Dan-Yusuf: Fireworks 📌 About Choosing Well: Choosing Well is a storytelling series by The Daughters Community Foundation (DCF), exploring the real, often unspoken choices behind meaningful lives and meaningful work.
