#24035: Build your own too.


Yesterday was one of those days you experience beauty, and you are just smiling from ear to ear.

I couldn’t stop smiling. And I was literally rubbing my belly with my hands, as I am sure I was literally feeling butterflies.

I get distracted easily. But I caught myself so interested and listening as Seyi & Dami of DĂ  shared a bit of their process creating some of the most iconic brands in the African tech space.

I love close knit-events, especially the ones you can soak up on conversations in an immersive way. The ones were you can book a trip in your mind and journey to where things started, and come back to the present to experience it in real-time.

​
In everything, what struck me was Dami’s conviction in being able to defend everything—more like, for every result, we could work you through the ideology and process that got us here. I have known this about Seyi, but seeing how much they complemented each other was a rich experience.

​
If you want a line to go home with after reading my recap, this is it, “A detailed process will help you your ability to replicate excellence at scale. It will also help you pick up the skills you need to make it happen.”

​
I am inspired. Let me go and build my own now.

You don’t know yourself as much as you think. Different situations and settings will continue to reveal yourself more to you, as you evolve and grow. And I think the best way to approach this is honesty, and continuous evaluation. I started seeing #LoveIsBlindUK with my wife (post the pods sha) and the nuances of human relationships is interesting. Lol! I will never get into such an experiment sha 😂, but it is eye opening to see how cultures clash and how background plays an integral role in...

Words are really powerful. It is interesting how a teaching can shift your perspective—beyond the fact that for Christians, we believe that listening to God’s word injects us with the capacity to do and embodies the Spirit. On the natural side, hearing the right things can radically put your life on track. Yesterday, Pastor May (Our matriarch at Kingsword and The New Ministries) preached a simple but powerful message. She taught on Shame and the many ways it can play out to hold you back. How...

Sometimes, people get on clarity calls for me to help connect the dots. I have a knack for identifying and connecting patterns as my mind has a way of doing some magic (even though sometimes, I am like, do this magic for me too now 😂😭. Cos, Omo!) But that’s not where I am going today. I had one of those clarity calls yesterday. After he introduced me to what he wanted to do, I responded based on an “assumption” I had in my head about how people in the niche typically operate. Only to realize...
