  • Show Your Pain

    Can we link sensitivity and trauma with creativity? On this episode, I talk about how we lose touch of our innate creativity as children when we grow up and life's traumas affect us. Is there a way artists can use art as therapy? Can you use creativity in your life to help you deal with your traumas?

  • East African Kings with Mika Hirwa

    On this episode I hang out with Mika Hirwa, Rwandese illustrator and comic book artist. I'm a big fan of his. You have to check out his comics KAMI and Rwoga. We talk about how we need an African marvel, he talks about his journey to becoming a professional illustrator, he shares his 5 rules to productivity, which were very interesting! And so much more. Throughout the call he was on his graphic tab, working on some client work. Hustling! I enjoyed connecting with this fellow East African king. Pardon the network issues. Links below

  • A Philosophical Cypher with Ken Beda

    I hang out with my pal Ken Beda on this one. Nothing really on the agenda. We just wanted to flow. Sort of like a cypher. We talk about a bunch of things, leaving agency life for entrepreneurship, opportunities online for Africans, spirituality, consciousness, plus much more, and we could've talked for many more hours but I would rather you all beg me for a part 2.

  • Stay Inspired
    On this episode I speak on inspiration and share some ideas with 5 steps on how we can cultivate an inspired state of being. It isn't as simple as binge watching a few motivational videos on YouTube. There isn't a quick way out of this. I go through our mind state, our goals, our habits, our doubts and our philosophy. Hopefully there is a gem or two in this episode for you.

  • Social Justice
    On this episode I try to talk on the social injustices that have been affecting Kenya and US. Recent outrage on racism and police brutality are questioning the establishment and demanding change for the affected communities. The status quo must change. It is up to you and I to contribute to this change and demand a better future for each other. Links to petitions in the links below.

  • Stop Seeking Validation
    On this episode I talk about the way we seek validation from others and why it's important to only seek it from ourselves. We need to be our biggest support system so when all else fails, we can rely on ourselves. Perhaps a bit too stoic for some of you but I hope there's value.
