  • 1/ 18 - REALITY HITS AFTER CAMPUS

    Point break. I do not know how physics would define it, but this is definitely the point at which you determine your elasticity once you reach the point you can no longer stretch.

    They say the back and forth patterns must be avoided at all costs unless necessary. But reality hits after campus will have you taking three steps forward and four steps back. On the last conversation with Phidelis, she let me into her hustles after campus. Before you listen in on this episode, it is crucial to understand that your papers should not define you and what you can do. At times you will be forced to pick an alternative path as life straightens itself out but at no point should you give up.
    Well, on life and education, we do agree adulting can be a scam. 

    But the power of choice of path to take is in your hands. Will you wallow in self pity or will you give yourself a chance to explore how elastic you are?

  • 1/ 17 - ADULTING IS A SCAM; CAMPUS VIBES

    If you think university life is easy, then it is probably because you enjoyed the luxury of not having to worry about your next meal, but it was recently brought to light that students are going hungry in school because of lack of money. For some people, this was extremely alarming, but for those of us who experienced the highs and lows of campus vibes, we can proudly tell you that yeah, that shit is real. People struggle out there.

    Nduts, and I took a trip down memory lane and we tell you how we agreed that adulting is a scam in campus and how we found a way to survive using our God-given skills.
    Now this advice may work for some of you, and it may not for others, but we took the NEWS report as a call to action, and gave insight on how students in the university can make hay. Three things matter

    1- Know yourself

    2- Know what you want
    3- Know what you do not want.

    This episode is for anyone who needs a rough idea on how life can be maneuvered, so share it with all those campus students who do not think it is possible to walk out of campus with more than papers to their name because they do not have access to capital.

    You have skills, use those skills.

  • 1/ 16 - WE BELIEVE WE DESERVE; EASTER THOUGHTS.

    Happy easter, and welcome to season two of my podcast. I took time to engage a friend, Phidelis, on the notion that adulting is a scam. This is a four part session, beginning with her thoughts on easter season. We discuss forgiveness, and how practical it is in society today.

    Enjoy.

  • 1/ 15 - SELF LOVE FOR WHO PT2

    Self love is the responsibility we have to loving ourselves, but while we love ourselves we still have a responsibility to channel that love to other people. This second segment is an explanation of self-love with regards to our responsibility to loving others.

  • 1/ 14 - SELF LOVE FOR WHO?

    Being so close to valentines, everyone is on high alert for where their gifts will come from. For the rest of the year, those who will gift us will be the ones who we feel love us the most. 

    For this episode, I ask three questions

    1- Is your relationship a valentines edition, or does the edition come once in a year

    2- How well do you love yourself to let others love you

    3- How willing are you to open yourself to love

    Self love is a personal responsibility that we all must work on for ourselves instead of pulling those who love us down to the standards we have set for ourselves.

    Happy valentine's day strangers

  • 1/ 13 - WHEN SOCIETY SAYS JUMP, WE ASK HOW HIGH

    Autonomy in layman terms means the independence in one's thoughts or actions, the ability to self-govern, or self-regulate

    Often we find ourselves in situations that require us to ask the WHY question, unfortunately most times we are too busy asking how high should we jump without thinking through how consequential our actions may get 

    There are two responses to actions 

    1- everyone else is doing it

    2- this is actually good for me

    What choice do you normally find yourself making?

  • 1/ 11 - On your masks, get ready, go

    Any part of a race is determined by how you begin, and how you overcome challenges. Those decisions are entirely up to you.

    2021 as a race on its own will have challenges and you alone know how best you can fight that race.

  • 1/ 10 - Freely flowing into 2021

    This specific episode may seem different from my normal niche. For one the segment is very personal, but relatable. I feel it would be improper to usher in the new year without being 100% open about how I feel about 2021, so this right here is a very short episode discussing what I think of 2021 and how my religion has helped me shape what I envision for 2021. In it I discuss how my year began, and how I see it transitioning. I hope you enjoy the segment.
