In this episode the hosts sit with film enthusiast Fred Makori and spotlight content creation for humans by humans with an emphasis on shaping values. As they follow his journey through the media landscape from behind the camera to in front of it and then back, the gents pick gems across the transitions, evolutions and adaptations. Highlighting Makori’s journey from breaking pulpit continuums to production chronicles, visions in Vihiga to vision bearing in leadership positions, from Kisumu to Kisii to Kiss TV the conversation underlines lessons from different seasons, lessons from different bosses and even lessons from rocks! From dreams of flying to being live on air, from employment to freelance to employment back to freelance, shifts and personal growth; the three gents highlight lessons in and from leadership, lessons through character development, professional encounters, Nation Media to Royal Media, lessons filtering partnerships, value alignment, production bruises, successes and so on.
