"We teach what we know, but produce what we are!" Dr. Chao Mbogo.

Remember that. Always.

When you start you usually don't know where you will end up. That is true for most people, and though everyone is screaming "Have a plan", most of us really don't have much more than a mashup of ideas, hopes, assumptions, and best guesses. Well, here is one of us... she just happened to really trail blaze. And it was all for an experiment.

When you do it like 'this is the thing' you were created to do; when your life is a set of choices you make for yourself and not made for you by someone else; when you own your path and you have a little jar of faith in yourself, you can really love your life. That does not mean you will have it all planned out. It does not mean love and luck will always be on your side. And it does not mean winning in the way you expect. But you will win. You will find the plan. And you will be lucky, and you will be loved. Facts! So live...

No semantics, no-frills, no-chills. Start afraid and don't overthink. Then go! That's Muthuri Kinyamu and TurnupTravel Pt.2

If you looked for it, you would not be able to see it. That wild side; adventure spirit; that hunger to see more of the world than your day job commute will allow. Muthuri doesn't stand out in any of these either, but what he and his co-founder Brian have done with Turn-Up Travel is fascinating. Disrupting the travel industry in Kenya which gets 11% if it's GDP from tourism is a big deal, and when a 'non-expert' does it in 3 years, it's worth a look. This is that guy...

20 years in the game (and still looking 25 which is an advantage) Mugambi has a bank of wisdom for the younger artist and those in the creative space. But knowing what he knows now: learning that everyone is a penny or a dime away from broke, understanding the value of savings, a positive attitude, discipline, and passion: what would he do differently? Better yet, what quest-ion would he serve. Because we all have one. A quest.

If you become a success, you will fall into one of two groups; make yourself responsible for looking out for the next success story and grow it, or try to defend yourself from disruption. The second group is way bigger than the first.. and the beginning of their end is always an ever-present reality.

"Anarchy of the soul is a passion or dream, buried in a life of meaning." From an I.T. degree to finding a home on stages and in front of cameras, there is something about not following your childhood passion that is life-numbing. He had migraines that took him to hospital, adventures with *those* bosses (you know them to, don't you) and a stint at a club, then church, then club, then church.. with a crew 15 people deep! His African startup... was himself.

In the second part of Nivi's interview, we look at BRCK, what she does now, the opportunity education is missing in Kenya and Africa in general and why nothing is built better for Africa to help leapfrog the world of yesterday like the internet. Are we doing what we should with it or are we just being bums?

From taking 20 kids from an urban poor community ice-skating, to the impact an iPhone can have on a determined mind, Nivi's entrepreneurial path has to be the best coming-together of luck, serendipity, madness and some kind of mystic magic. There is everything Netflix could want in a movie, but that would also make an excellent Sunday afternoon read. Education technology is her thing and she is most vocal through her deeds and her grit. This is one for the ages.
