Daniel Etim Effiong joined us on the podcast and it was truly an unforgettable conversation. Ife spoke with him about his journey as an actor, filmmaker, and director, including how he navigates criticism and responds to trolls in the public eye. He opened up about a deeply personal spiritual awakening, his father’s prison story, and what it was like growing up, shaping the man he is today. The conversation also explores his life as a husband and father, as well as the experience of producing a film that broke the internet, dominated the cinemas, and made it to Netflix in record time.
