Theme: Scaling Vision – From Ideas to Impact
The Envoy Nation Business Summit 2025 (PINNACLE 2025) was a transformational gathering of Christian entrepreneurs, innovators, and Kingdom-minded professionals across the UK. Hosted at Envoy Nation in Leicester, UK, the event created a space for faith-driven leaders to gain insight, build community, and develop strategy to scale their vision into lasting impact.
🎤 Keynote Highlight: Dr. Sam Osinowo – Scaling Vision: From Ideas to Impact
Founder of Naija UK Connect and Bayanol Group, Dr. Sam Osinowo delivered a compelling keynote rooted in personal story and spiritual strategy. From branding to diaspora visibility, and faith to execution, his message empowered attendees to turn vision into structured impact.
Key Takeaways:
- “A vision without execution is just hallucination.”
- Why some visions fail: lack of structure, poor timing, misalignment
- The journey of Bayanol Group and the birth of Naija UK Connect
- Diaspora-focused media and branding as tools for influence
- Practical steps: Start where you are, validate ideas, use digital tools, and lead with consistency and faith
🧠 Strategic Sessions and Powerful Insights
Dr. Debo Owoseni delivered a powerful empowerment talk focused on mindset, resilience, and the habits required to grow a vision in challenging environments.
Pastor Dr. Dele Osunmakinde gave a bold and timely call to action:
“The UK system regulates how much you can earn as an employee. But as an entrepreneur, you can legally beat the system—tap into tax benefits, build wealth, and reclaim control of your financial narrative.”
Pastor Adewale Joshua, Director of Envoy Enterprise Expression, shared a deep and practical breakdown of the duties of a company director in the UK—from legal responsibility to visionary oversight—equipping entrepreneurs to build with structure and integrity.
