There are always those amongst us destined for greatness. Some can call it reincarnations from past leaders whose spirits live on through the selected few, others just exhume an aura of knowing what they have to do in life and devoting their time towards it. One thing is clear however, all are born to lead. We all have that sense of responsibility within us but it’s hidden by societal pressures that a leader should do something grand like owning the Amazons or the Metas of the world. This misconception blinds us from seeing the leaders within our community. The people who live to serve others and have a sense of duty to provide justice to the ones with no voice. In this episode, Norman talks about leadership and what it means to him in his pursuit to find his leadership traits and voice. Have a listen and let the Tebu Listen team know who you consider a leader, the people in your circle you consider to be leaders, and why they inspire you.

In the latest episode of the ‘Tebu! Listen’ podcast we welcome a new member to our family; Tuthi the Tooth. She guides us into the depths of what wisdom means to us, the different segments that exist, and where we classify ourselves. If there’s one thing we want you to remember, Tuthiii - Niklaus was one of the Originals, and vampire teeth do count; no one should tell you differently.

We also dive into what we found out about the green bond in our previous episodes, how much is needed, and whether you make the list. We wind down with Monicah’s elevator experience and her encounter with the talking maize comb.

The Tebu Listen crew makes a return to your go-to podcast platform! After a rejuvenating break, the team is back with a bang, bringing laughs and good vibes coupled with their love for long weekends and holidays. Join Monicah and Norman as they spill the beans on everything from a spooktacular Halloween party (guess who nailed the costume game!) to their take on Octoberfest and ingenious hacks for dodging concert traffic at the Ngong racecourse. But it's not all fun and games – the pod takes a turn into the hosts' strategies for boosting daily efficiency, ending with some intriguing insights into green bonds, a hot new investment topic they stumbled upon. Don't miss out on the fun – hit play, share the pod, and drop a comment or two on Tebu Listen's social media channels. Get ready to laugh, learn, and enjoy the ride! 🎙️🎉

‘can we separate the art from the artist? ‘

‘is the art fully part of the brand created around them.‘

Yes or no. Does your answer reflect something about you? 

Today there’s no seating on the fence. I think it’s time we pick sides.

‘We are born into struggle’

... whatever form of comfort you have, there will always be a greater one, and the inverse being the pain that you experience could be less; when do we ever find the ´middle ground’. We all search for a form of peace that could match up to the deficit created in our struggles. Tell us where to find peace: because adulting is a lie that is preached and in some way has become everyone’s truth.

This one is for the lover boys of Nairobi or the Kanye fans... if I could choose a husband by the album they liked the most, it would have to be a Kanye fan. Drake will always be the Zaddy but Kanye moved differently in his current album, ama you want to change my mind? 

Are you paying attention to the melody, the rhythm, or even how the words blend into each other. Is it a story or a statement to the listener?

It’s evident that the talent and the skills of our generation are extremely versatile: solicitous and in its own way relatable. 

Let the war continue! If you think Nick was just rambling don’t hesitate. Tell us in the DM’s and comments.

Pick one. Blue Pill or Red Pill.

If this philosophy seems familiar then you know the pills are not flavors, they’re rational metaphors of choice. Yeah, intense.

We talk to little us, we send a message to the past; but in retrospect, it’s a message to you. Yes, you our listener: in confiding in each other about what we would tell our younger selves, we dig deeper to search for meaning in our life-changing truths. So I think the strawberry or cherry pill does taste quite nice if you know what I mean.

Superhero and Role-model....................(drumrolls please)

Allow me to just acknowledge the brains and exuberant execution that Iron-man has, the man power and subtle confidence that Khabib displays or is it the composure and selflessness empowering Malala. 

Okay... let’s come on home; any role played by anyone in an exemplary way will be magnified in some way. If it’s from the good service to the kindness or simply the support: think of it this way, the simple concept behind the word superhero is someone that goes out of their way to simply help people. Today, do any unexpected duty like your getting paid millions, you might just be someone’s role model heck you might be their superhero!

What does freedom look like to you? For this one you may need to take in a deep breathe maybe even have a seat... now allow me to ask, is there anything that you’ve ever wanted to do or have done that is contrary to cultural or societal normalities: what would you call that? Okay now in the event that you did, did you feel anything: would you say that feeling was, relief, freedom, ease? Yeah... tebu listen because this episode had us questioning reality in general.

What do decisions look like for you: draining, exciting, nerve-racking? Or rather, to what extent do you think the decisions you make define you... No one knows everything and we try to soften the landing on the thought process of making mistakes and accepting change through the process. Join us as we discuss some of our wrong decisions and the lessons we learnt .Don`t forget to comment, share, like, and subscribe.
