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.
