You know, we develop cold feet from time to time. Would it work? Would it not work? What becomes of me if it doesn't work & my fears are established? This episode of Baseline Bit is about Courage. It is said that "Courage is not the absence of fear & that courageous people have the same feelings like we have & that they do feel fear." I love this quote by Jim Hightower, "The opposite for courage is not cowardice, it is conformity. Even a dead fish can go with the flow!" This got every bit of my attention. Ever heard of Sybil Ludington? Those familiar with American history can relate. She is largely recognized as a heroine of the American Revolutionary War. Maroon 5 & Cardi B also feature. Enjoy this episode & let is spur you into some action!😊

This episode takes me far east into the continent of Asia & its personality-based. Groups & People have often from time immemorial felt oppressed in some sort of way & consequentially have come up with ways to overcome such oppression to basically press home their demands. This is about a man who was a staunch advocate of the non-violent mode of resistance & he inspired movements for civil rights & freedom across the world. A Hindu by birth & called to bar at the age of 22 in June 1891. South Africans would also feel a sense of belonging here, because during the course of his life, the rainbow nation was his home for 21 years. Matter of fact, it was here he first employed that non-violent mode of resistance. Ever heard the name Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi? Well, Mahatma Gandhi? That's him. This episode is very educative & equally inspiring. Enjoy listening to every bit of it (and yeah do share as well!😁)

Its usually said that money makes the world go round. While it is widely retorted that money isn't everything (and I absolutely agree) but money will solve a lot problems. A lot of issues on this side of the divide is linked to inadequate finances. Again, not everything, but a lot. Better to have money than put yourself in a position where you'd have to be explaining. I like a scene from a movie that involves Aki & Pawpaw (Nigerians can relate😉 and you can take this as a quote), "Money stops nonsense!" Warren Buffet said "Do not save what is left after spending, instead, spend what is left after saving." There is a definite eureka moment in that statement. So, enjoy this episode about savings & put the things in there to use.

Foodies, this is for you!😅 I know this is indeed about everyone ultimately, as nutrition is key to wellbeing altogether. I have a secret, folks close to me should have an idea though; I fancy eating more than cooking🙈 (Folks in my camp, you are good?) Paul Prudhomme (a.k.a Gene Autry Prudhomme) who was an American celebrity chef, said "You don't need a silver fork to eat good food." He sure knew what he was talking about. Nutrition is necessary for health & growth & as such must be taken really seriously. For those who enjoy parties & you are Nigerian, some bit of hint, food is always plenty at landmark birthdays (50 years, 60 years, 75 years) and burials (if you know, you know!😆😉). A song from Dija (definitely about food) is in there. Your feedbacks are important & please feel free to share this. Be good!

Game of Thrones "unapologetics", get in here!😆 "Some battles are won with swords & spears. Others with quills & ravens." Mehmet Murat Ildan said "On the road to wisdom, behave like a raven & observe everything carefully." This episode is about a bird that is referenced across various geographical locations & different demography of people. The bird is usually linked to wisdom, a lot of it. Ed Sheeran also featured in this with a song that is pretty groovy. George Rayomond Richard Martin is credited with the first quote I referenced. You'd enjoy every bit of this, please feel free to share😊

Each & every single day, we walk on gold mines without even realizing several times. There are no new ideas in their entirety, what obtains most times are tweaks to what have been in existence. Richard Branson retorted that "Business opportunities are like buses, there's always another one coming." You know, I like this. It means the chances of coming across an opportunity business-wise is pretty high. There are ways to recognize these opportunities & exploit them. That's what this episode of Baseline Bit is about. Rihanna & Drake featured with their song, Work. Enjoy every bit of this.

One area and aspect I know a lot of people take for granted, the importance of the routine of exercises. Exercises are bodily activities that enhance or maintain physical fitness & overall health as well as wellbeing. Think about the aiding of growth, improvement of strength, prevention of ageing, improvement of health, enjoyment & much more, then exercises are necessary. And really, exercises are not even rocket science. The typical activities we even engage in on a daily constitute some form of exercises. My hope is that at the end of this, you'd take exercises seriously. My love for football makes me go to the field on Saturdays!🙈 Enjoy this & feel free to share.

"I've been reading books of old. The legends and the myths; Achilles and his gold; Hercules and his gifts; Spiderman's control; And Batman with his fists. And clearly I don't see myself upon that list." These first few lines describes majority of folks. But it shouldn't end there. Pay attention to the next few ones. "But she said, Where'd you wanna go? How much you wanna risk? I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts, some superhero..." You see, everyone (and I mean this literally) can be a superhero. These are lyrics of a song I love a great deal, Something Just like this by The Chainsmokers & Coldplay. This episode is about a personality & a lady, Baroness Thatcher, the first and only female Prime Minister of the UK till date. Valuable lessons are in this. You'd enjoy it!😉

Like it or not, whether you pay attention or not into crafting a compelling brand, a brand is being crafted. A brand basically is the perception that comes to the mind of people when they think about your business or you. I can assure you, "accidental" brands are rarely fascinating. Loudly though, branding is about "feelings" and its a total package. The word brand refers to "the process of ranchers putting a mark on their cattle to identify their individual cows." These brands were used to identify the quality of the beef that comes from their cows. Research reveals that ranchers used this to navigate how they want their cows to "turn out" which led to price manipulation to some degree. Enjoy this episode🙂

Are Leaders born or made? Do we have all have greatness in us or just a few have it in them? In Act 2 Scene 5 of William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, this statement is hugely popular - "Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them." While this episode focuses on leadership, on a broader scale I referenced greatness. I am certain you'd be convinced to aspire to acquire and re-fire, so as not to retire or maguire😂 I can assure you that this episode is worth your time. Omawumi's Personal Race is in there as well. Have a fantastic month of May. Do feel free to share
