Hello Everyone!

 Welcome to Kumo's Un-Filtered Convos Episode 4 !!

**We had a few technical difficulties while recording, so while listening you will notice the conversation starting a little over and some background noise **

I'm humbled and grateful to have  this week's episode with my friend and special guest Zulkifi Assumani who also goes by the name Zeus and  is a 22 year old man who is  goal driven & is currently living  with both of his parents,three brothers , one sister and is the second oldest.

He shares his experience with testing positive for COVID-19  also know as Coronavirus  and what his journey  has been like with the virus .

Zeus was born in Rwanda ,Africa and has been raised in Phoenix ,AZ  .

He enjoys listening to motivational speakers such as Les Brown & Zig Ziglar and has also been in a Toastmasters program for a while which is a motivational speaking club .

 Assumani  has been involved with a Multi-level Marketing Company where he said it was”the best education I’ve received,I started to be financially aware.I was ahead of my peers mentally because I was surrounding myself with very successful people.”

You can find Zeus on Instagram and feel free to hit his DM's for questions :

Wherever you are tune in from  today thank you for giving this platform a listening ear especially in these  uncertain times.

It’s May 1st and I just paid my rent !

 I’ve been taking a break from recording ,but I just used the largest amount of money I had to pay for rent and I thought I should share how I was feeling about running low on money and basically being broke AF . 

I have applied for unemployment and haven’t received any funds from the State or the Federal government ..

So it’s really hard out here . 

This is a very brief episode but worth the listen.
