Work Ethic is a Superpower with Buki Elegbede

Several guests have said this to me: Working harder IS working smarter. 

My guest for this episode of Camera Ready & Abel - multi Emmy nominated Television Host, Producer and journalist, Buki Elegbede - says his Work Ethic is his Superpower.

Buki believes his work ethic is what has given him a competitive advantage in an industry that is saturated with talent. As he says, quoting Milton Berle, “when opportunity doesn't knock, build your own door.”

More takeaways:

• Work ethic includes working smart and trusting your gut
• As a producer putting together the right team is everything
• Learn what everybody does, the value to the team and respect it
• With the right team in place you can go to the stratosphere
• Preparation, preparation, preparation

Buki also jokes that for Christmas he's going to ask Santa for audacity.
