Even back in his campus days in Moi University, George was selling shamballas (jewellery) & Running Website Development & Tech Classes. After qualifying and attending the Tony Elumelu Foundation Summit, it dawned on him that they are entrepreneurs just like him who are continuously looking for innovation spaces and a co-working environment which gave birth to Nakuru Box. To add even more value he holds events and innovation training hubs for such entrepreneurs.

George wears many hats as he also runs his Jewellery Business - Jean Jewellery Store and Eneza Solutions Limited to complement his income. As a young man, he is both passionate, tactical and not planning to stop creating and innovating. I had to have him on the podcast as he shared his journey and what keeps him going. This episode was an eye-opener and also a challenge for all of us to continuously lookout for opportunities we can plug ourselves into whether through entrepreneurship, innovating or even in employment.

Is cloud the next big thing? As it stands, technology has revolutionised the job landscape and obviously for IT & Tech Careers. With the majority of companies now moving their operations from on-premise servers to the cloud; cloud computing careers are in high demand. With cloud computing is still a new concept in Africa and even in Kenya; there is a skill gap. There are only a few trained IT professionals that can deploy cloud solutions or even cloud architects. 

Sam Muhuho, Google Cloud Deployment Manager at BusinessCom Solutions heads the IT department. As a young lad in the village, he was always curious about telecommunication and would dismantle his dad's radio and try to assemble it back. No one would have predicted that he would now be heading all IT operations for a Google Cloud Partner. He has even sold clothes for a living as he tried to nature his entrepreneurial spirit before later interning and climbed up the ladder to the position he holds. Well, this was not just not handed to him as he has had to pass his Associate Cloud Engineer certifications and now working towards his Cloud Architect Certifications. For someone interested in the IT field, this is an episode for you.

He is among a few reporters who can report both in Kiswahili & in English. David Kagina started his journey back in Moi University when he joined MUFM - Moi University Local Radio Station which spired his love for reporting news.For someone who is passionate journalism field, there can be easily discouraged seeing that Journalism is an elitist, competitive field.  

His story is inspirational, to say the least having started as an intern to a regular,  gracing our screen every day. The sky is the limit for this one. I had such a good laugh on this episode ...Enjoy

After that degree or diploma, what's Next for you? In this week episode, we featured James Ndone. It is actually Dr James Ndone now as he recently attained his PhD at the Missouri School of Journalism where he specialised in crisis communication. 

James story is relatable as he is born and bred in Kenya. He actually pursued his bachelor degree from Moi University, thereafter pursuing a got a scholarship for His Master's Degree at Illinois State University. As a millennial, one is often conflicted on whether one should pursue further studies. After investing in a bachelor's degree and realising that it takes more than just that degree to remain competitive and stand out in the corporate world, investing in further studies may feel like a gamble. James has had a taste of both worlds having worked as a Public Relations officer and taking a bold move to focus on his academics where he takes on both hats as a student and a lecturer. This was one of those conversations that challenge you especially after realising that he is so young and can easily be classified as a millennial. Enjoy the episode.

What are your thoughts on taking a Masters Program? 

I had a conversation with Daniel Mbugua who is now a Public Relations Specialist. Fun fact: At one point he was my lecturer during my undergraduate studies at Moi University. 

Daniel Mbugua did his undergraduate degree in Communication & Journalism and later specialised in Communication & Public Relations for his Master's Program. Having tasted both worlds of academics and the corporate world especially in a dynamic industry of Communications & PR, I was curious to know what his thoughts are. I mean in this day and age should we still go ahead and invest in a Masters Program or can we learn what we need to learn from Youtube? For those of us who completed our undergraduate degree, what should be the next steps as we grow our career and build our resume' as far as education is concerned?  Well, he may not have all the answers, but in this episode, we delved deeper as Daniel shared his experience and two cents on the subject matter. Let me spoilt it for you... Enjoy the episode.

The thought of relocating to a completely new country, new job, a new lifestyle, a new way of doing things is both exhilarating and scary. For Julie Mumbi, she has completely embraced it. She is excited about the opportunity and the new experience it presents. I caught up with her on the weekly episodes as I got to better understand AfrikaKommt ---- https://afrika-kommt.de/  a flagship initiative in Germany for young, future leaders from Africa that she currently enrolled in. Tune in on #Friday for the full conversation.
