Show notes
She handed him her entire salary every single month - while his business made nothing for almost 3 YEARS. In this episode of The Unbroken Podcast, Richard Akita sits down with Cosmos Owusu Adjei (Chief Cosmos), founder of SPH Properties and one of Ghana's sharpest real estate minds. What started as a mentorship became a masterclass: Chief went nearly three years without closing a single deal, survived on what he and his wife called a "survival budget," and built a thriving property business - without losing his marriage in the process. This is a raw, honest conversation about the real cost of ambition. Chief holds nothing back — including his most controversial take yet: "Marriage is overrated."
