The Motus Podcast

What happens when you build something genuinely valuable, but nobody sees it?

In this episode of The Motus Podcast, we unpack the difference between actual value and perceived value, and why having one without the other can hold you back.

I share a personal experience from a recent pitch competition with FinoraCash, where the exact same idea received completely different reactions from two sets of judges. In one round, they saw the potential and loved the idea. In the final, that value didn't seem to land, and we walked away without a win.

The experience got me thinking: if people don't see the problem, how can they see the value of your solution?

Whether you're building a startup, pursuing a career, creating something, or simply trying to get your ideas heard, this episode explores why creating value is only half the job. Making that value visible is the other half.

Because sometimes, the difference between being overlooked and being recognised isn't what you can do.

It's whether people can see it.

In this episode of Technically Free?, we crack open the idea of freedom and flip it on its head. Maybe freedom isn’t just about making choices… maybe it’s about realizing what your choices even are before you make them.

This isn’t a lecture and I’m definitely not here to download information into your beautiful brain like some human USB stick. Think of this episode as me tossing a thought grenade into the group chat of existence; a conversation starter about awareness, control, and the invisible limits shaping our decisions (yes, I probably started this whole spiral, and no, most people are not casually thinking about this at 2pm on a Tuesday).

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re living deliberately or just running default settings, this one’s for you.

In this episode, Trueman talks about his struggle to maintain his past level of enthusiasm for entrepreneurship. He talks about a shift in his entrepreneurial philosophy that has allowed him to be more excited about building again.

In this episode, I sit down with Takura for a candid conversation about all things entrepreneurship. From humble beginnings to bold business moves, we reflect on our personal journeys, sharing lessons learned, mistakes made, and the mindset that keeps us going. Whether you're just starting out or deep in the grind, this episode is a reminder that the road to success is rarely straight, but always worth it.

In this episode, Trueman unpacks the raw power of being underestimated. He argues that the best time to swing hard, take risks, and break through is when you're the underdog, because when no one expects you to win, every step forward is already a victory.

With his usual blend of insight and fire, Trueman draws a bold line from underdog resilience to the spirit of entrepreneurship, urging young people to stop waiting for perfect conditions and start experimenting now. Whether you're building a business, chasing a dream, or just finding your voice, this episode is a rallying cry: the fight is yours to take—and there’s no better time than now.

We are back babyyyy!!!!

This isn’t one of those “5 tips to build your dream startup” kind of chats. It’s the unfiltered, off-the-cuff, can-we-just-be-honest-for-a-sec type of vibe.

If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at the word “startup” or questioned why everything suddenly needs to be an app or a product made from plant fibres, this one’s for you.

Let’s talk.

Information will always be one of the greatest tools that people can use to get what they want. By being able to manipulate the truth, people often take advantage of people. As young people, it is important to learn to identify what's true and what's false and to also understand that the way we do everything needs to change.

In this episode, I give a few thoughts on what I will call the 50-50 rule of information.

Enjoy!

How many times have you heard that 'It is up to the younger generation......' I think for the most part every generation is just pushing the responsibility of changing our continent to the next generation. In as much as the young people in any era are or should be instrumental in changing the continent, by continuing to push down the ultimate responsibility will do no good. 

In this episode, Hama calls today's generation to action!

Building generational wealth for the average African is nothing but a dream for many. Because of the ceiling we put on ourselves, we are unable to see beyond and to see the bigger vision. In this episode, Trueman gives an intro to how we should shift our perspective on generational wealth and some key points we can consider. 

Ultimately, generational wealth is about choosing a path, sticking with it and being patient. 

Special mention to: Mkonto, Benjamin and Anesu for the key points!
