McBernard Akpabey is the Founder of MCB Studio Rentals , recognized as Ghana’s largest studio equipment rental company valued at 7 figures plus. His journey is not one of luck, trends or social media hype. It’s a story of collapse, obsession, precision, and discipline.

After an intense A.M.A and landguard dispute that nearly ended everything, McBernard didn’t just “bounce back”, he returned obsessed. Obsessed with details. Obsessed with excellence. Obsessed with perfecting every millimeter of his gears and systems.

He adopted one strict rule that changed everything and that rule is the same reason MCB Studio Rentals now stands at the top of the industry.

In this conversation, we dive deep into:
– Why most photographers and creatives fail
– The harsh realities behind building a business in Ghana’s creative economy
– What it really takes to be the number one studio rental company
– And one powerful truth McBernard has never shared publicly before

This episode is a blueprint, a warning, a motivation, and a masterclass wrapped into one.
If you are a creative, entrepreneur, investor or simply someone trying to build something meaningful —this conversation is one you cannot afford to skip.

To celebrate hitting 10,000 subscribers, I brought two of my closest friends — Raygan and Oneman1000 — back to the Talk No Dey Cook Rice Podcast for a conversation nobody wants to have but everybody needs to hear.

2. Galamsey, corruption, and why President Mahama must take the bull by the horn
3. How politicians are buying off young people to fight other young voices
4. Our personal struggles with pornography and practical strategies to overcome it
5. The pressure of girls throwing themselves at successful young men — and how to escape that trap
6. Raygan and Nana finally open up about their relationship status and how far they’ve come since their first appearance on the show

This episode is fun, educational, raw, and ballistic — the kind of talk you only get on Talk No Dey Cook Rice Podcast.

Today’s guest is someone whose life story is deeply tied to Ghana’s history—yet her voice is carving out a future that looks very different.

It’s an honour to welcome Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, daughter of Ghana’s longest serving and late revolutionary president, Flt. Lt. J.J Rawlings to Talk No Dey Cook Rice Podcast.

Growing up in the shadow of power, Dr. Zanetor has lived through experiences most of us can only imagine—from being treated unfairly in school because of her father’s politics, to learning how to fly planes just to break gender stereotypes.

But her story goes way beyond her family name. It’s about resilience, responsibility, and reimagining leadership in Ghana.

From fighting for women’s representation in politics, to challenging the neglect of queen mothers in governance, to calling out the uncomfortable truths about indiscipline in schools, drugs among students, and the failures of political accountability—Zanetor doesn’t hold back.

So in this conversation, we cover:
What it was really like growing up as Rawlings’ daughter.
Why women are often “used” in politics but sidelined afterward.
The real reason her dad taught her to pilot aircrafts.
The urgent crisis of drugs and indiscipline in Ghanaian schools.
Why democracy without responsibility is dangerous.
What true good governance should look like in Ghana…and so much more.

What I appreciate most about Dr. Zanetor is that she’s unafraid. She speaks her truth with courage, yet with clarity and vision for the Ghana we could build if we chose responsibility over rhetoric.

This conversation will challenge how you see politics, leadership, and even yourself.
