Episode The Reality of Affordable Housing in Ghana
From a short-lived football career in England to building a real estate company in Ghana, Michael Kyei-Ayensu’s journey is a masterclass in resilience, reinvention, and relationships.
In this episode of the Peswa Podcast, Michael opens up about his time as a professional footballer, including stints with Charlton Athletic and West Ham United, and how that experience shaped his “never give up” mindset.
After football, he transitioned into business and went on to found Jacob West — proving that sometimes your greatest capital isn’t money, but people. He shares how networking, trust, and relationships became the foundation of his success in Ghana’s real estate industry.
We also dive into a critical conversation about housing in Ghana. Michael explains why affordable housing remains a challenge and why developers alone cannot fix the issue without proper government infrastructure, policies, and systems in place.
This episode is for anyone navigating career pivots, building from scratch, or trying to understand the realities of entrepreneurship in Ghana.
