Bees, Broncos, and Bold Nigerian Honey with Omar Lababidi

What do Colorado roots, West African honey, and the Denver Broncos have in common? Omar Lababidi.

In this Move the Stairs episode, the founder and CEO of Goldswarm Honey shares how one spoonful of honey on a trip in Nigeria sparked a mission to bring it to the world. He unpacks the sustainable, farmer-first model behind Goldswarm Honey, which trains smallholder beekeepers, while protecting forests and building credibility through strategic partnerships. That mission has come full circle in Colorado, where Goldswarm Honey is now featured in Breckenridge Distillery’s Denver Broncos Limited Edition Honey Whiskey. For Omar, it’s more than a product win; it’s a meaningful homecoming that connects his Colorado roots to the livelihoods of Nigerian farmers.

Listen in as he explains how he’s using this momentum to deepen the cultural and economic bridge between Nigeria and the U.S. with raw authenticity.
