Hello, Kazeem here. After a brief hiatus (which I'll admit was partly due to a change in environment and, okay, maybe a touch of procrastination!), I'm back with a rant that's been brewing for a while. In this episode, I'm exploring something I feel strongly about: the profound and often underestimated influence previous generations have on our current reality.

I argue that the societal structures, rules, policies, and even the family dynamics we experience today weren't created in a vacuum. They are direct legacies of the decisions, actions, and mindsets of those who came before us – often those who lived through a different generation, maybe 30 or more years ago. These "inherited worlds," from national laws down to the way our own parents raised us, fundamentally shape the opportunities, challenges, and perspectives we navigate daily.

I delve into how these past choices echo constantly in our present. Using personal anecdotes, like how my own father's past positive relationships are benefiting me today, now that I'm studying in the UK, I try to illustrate this connection. Acknowledging this isn't really about assigning blame, but more about understanding the context we operate within and recognising the immense, lasting power that previous generations wielded – power they perhaps didn't even fully grasp themselves. Ultimately, I want to challenge all of us, myself included, to think more consciously about our own actions and the ripple effects they will inevitably have on future generations to come.

In this episode, David and I reflected on the past 11 months of our startup journey. We discuss the highs and lows, the challenges we've overcome, and the lessons we've learned. We also delve into our team dynamics, exploring how we work together and our individual roles and fostering a positive and productive work environment.

Did you know that 90% of startups fail? David, Subomi, and I started with the crazy idea of starting a company and we realized it has been an interesting journey, to say the least. In this episode, we'll take you back to the drawing board and reveal the biggest blunder we made during brainstorming, and how we clawed our way back to a golden learning opportunity.

This is just the beginning of Beere Softwares ( More on this in the episode 🫣) We hope you join us on this exciting journey. We would love to hear your feedback, you can always reach me on all major socials @kazeemquadri01 or send me an email at [email protected].

Talk to someone

In this episode, I shared my personal experiences and insights on how to achieve a healthy work-life balance. I know that it's not always easy to find a balance between work and personal life, especially when you have a lot on your plate. But I believe that it's important to make time for the things that are important to you, even if it means saying no to some things.

Here are some of the key areas that I discussed:

Managing stress from work: I talked about how to identify the sources of stress in your work life and how to manage them effectively. For example, I mentioned the importance of taking breaks, setting boundaries, and delegating tasks.

Managing side gigs: I talked about the importance of having side gigs and how to balance them with your primary job. I shared my own experience of having a side hustle and how I manage my time to make sure that I'm not overextending myself.

Health: I emphasized the importance of maintaining good health and shared tips on how to stay healthy despite a busy schedule. This includes eating healthy, exercising regularly, and getting enough sleep.

Entertainment: I discussed the role of entertainment in maintaining a healthy work-life balance and shared some ideas on how to incorporate it into your routine. This could include reading, watching movies, listening to music, or spending time with friends and family.

Timeout, vacation, and spending time with family and friends: I talked about the importance of taking breaks, going on vacations, and spending quality time with loved ones. This is essential for your mental and emotional well-being.

Peace of mind: I emphasized the importance of having peace of mind and shared some tips on how to achieve it. This includes practising mindfulness, gratitude, and forgiveness.
