Show notes

In this powerful episode of unbroken podcast, host Richard Akita sits down with Rami Baitie - corporate trainer, veteran radio personality, lifelong DJ, and a man who has been married to the same woman for 30 years. Rami opens up about the truth nobody tells young couples: that lasting marriage isn't about chemistry - it's about intentionality, grace, and the daily decision to live with your partner, not alongside them. From being a painfully shy stammerer who couldn't even say his own name… to becoming one of Ghana's most recognised radio voices… to being chased and proposed to by the woman who would become his wife - Rami's story is unfiltered, vulnerable, and brutally honest.
