Despite’s journey to wealth began with him starting out as a small trader so it was no surprise that he was comfortable in such a setting. He sold music cassettes, padlocks, feeding bottles, and other items in Dunkwa-Offinso.

He also started a timber business using a chainsaw he owned but the venture failed when a falling tree destroyed the machine which was the only one he owned. Despite reportedly resulted to selling cassettes again. This led to his venture into the media space where he is a dominant force.

In 1999, Despite launched Peace FM at Mile 7 Junction in Accra. The station, which broadcasted in Akan, quickly gained popularity as most radio stations at the time focused on English programming.

Following its success, he expanded his media business, establishing Hello FM in Kumasi, Okay FM in Accra, and the peacefmonline.com platform.
