Life: After School

Young people, you ARE assets. 

In this podcast, we chat with a gender specialist (Ogun State Economic Transformation Project), and Impact Award winner(US Consulate) on waste-to-wealth strategies, and (heads up!!) she has 17 years experience working with women and young people, especially on gender matters.

She's beautiful, brilliant, witty, sharp and deep!

You'll learn, as we chat, that hard-work still works, Integrity still matters, and Thinking is still something you will need to do (hmm ... for yourself, by yourself). In her words "ladies, don't just put so much attention to how you look. Let your work be of such sterling performance that it speaks for you.

You'll love this. Listen. And share

Still on words. 

Words are containers of power, life, hope, comfort, or whatever we choose to fill them with. 

You choose.

You've probably heard of poverty, or education, being weaponized. Know this: You words can be weaponized. For good or evil. They impact both the hearer, and the speaker.

You choose.

Choose well. Listen, and please share

Your favorite app runs on words. Your life runs on words. The Economy runs,and works with words. Every programming language needs words to work.

Would you believe that the words you speak, to a large extent determines the direction and flow of your life. 

In this podcast, continuing in the spirit of previous ones, we look at increasing the value of our words by 1%. Everyday.

Your words carry life. Use them. Use them well. Your life needs it.

Awhile ago, 4 of my former students ganged up to give me a surprise gift, and Oh, how it made the sun shine brighter! I told everyone what they'd done!!

The world is experiencing meanness on a level that is escalating, with everyone and every nation intent on fighting their own private battles. At times like this, a little kindness, even if its 1% each day, can go a long way.

It was John Ruskin who said "a little thought, and a little kindness, are often worth much more than a great deal of money."

In this podcast, we tell a little story... Listen... (and share!)

The day you start isn't the day it begins. For most, there's been a buildup, unconsciously. 

We move in steps. We eat in bites. Even an Elephant can be devoured... if taken in bites. 

Why not try the 1% approach?

Listen in...

The world is not what it used to be. Things are changing quite rapidly. Values are shifting. There's war internal, wars external. 

All these demand a response from you: What will you do?

Find out in this short podcast.

Ever watched the hugely successful animated film "Encanto"? Listened to the fantastic "Dos Oruguitas" ?

You should. You must.

Family matters. Family does matter. In a world with an ever-increasing disdain of family and family values, many young men and women do not know where to turn to. Fathers are scarce. Moms are busy. Roles are changing. Babies get married. Babies giving birth to babies. 

Yes, there are extremes. But Yes, there are standards. There are values. There are lighthouses, beacons of hope on the dark sea.

Drawing from the family bonding that Encanto does portray, we delve in this family-focused podcast series (yeah!) on why and how family is important, and how we all can get it right!!

NOTE: I loved Dos Oruguitas sooo much i used it as a soundtrack!! Shhhh....(whisper) do not tell anyone!!!!

Sit back, listen in. And share.

Catch ya!!

I've known this young man for awhile, and he amazes me. Each time. This interview was spurred by a 17 hour marathon he set for himself, and broke. 

17 hours straight, on a single project. 20 hours. Cumulative. Non-stop.

He calls himself "God's SoundMan". He's a 3D animator. A Sound Engineer. A creative. Multimedia person. Dreamer.

And he says, all he's learnt, Someone teaches him in a Dream. Same person. And then he takes it up and works it. 

Young people, do not quit! Focus. Take a stand for something. And then Focus. Do Not Quit, even when the going gets hard (and it will)!

The recording isn't that clean, I apologize. 

But the message is Pure, and True. All the way through. Listen in. And share.

A lot of people are going through stuff.

A lot of things are going on right now. At personal levels. Family levels, communities, and within and among nations. 

Things are just happening. Covid. Ukraine. Russia. Brexit. You...

Are these happenings random? Is there a script being played out? Do we have a choice in the matter, or we just pawns? Is it just luck? 

In this podcast, we discuss that pressing question on everyone's heart: How do I prepare for what I can't see coming?

It's interactive. It's engaging. It's titillating. It makes you think. It's Life After School.

Listen. Share. Comment.

In the last episode of this series, we again draw insight from the book, (available on Okada Books) "When Opportunity Knocks" by our guest, Olutoyin Oladele. 

In this very lively episode, we, more importantly, examine specifics on How to Prepare for Opportunity. 

Enjoy. And do not forget to share with a friend!
