  • What Makes a Person Irresistible (Part 4)

    "These two qualities give one the power to flow through life like a hot knife through butter. That's some imagery, innit?"

    Rodney continues his critically acclaimed exploration of the qualities that attract people and opportunities, in the 4th installment of the Irresistible series. In this episode, Rodney focuses on two qualities. They seem like no-brainers but upon closer inspection, there are levels to this. Listen to learn what they are.

    Rodney believes that if most of our lives are spent interacting with people, it’s our responsibility to find the information that will make those interactions as meaningful and as lubricated as possible. This episode offers the sauce and syrup that lubricates both friend and foe.

    • The Greatest Most Important Skill of All Time

      “We are not trapped by our thoughts. What we generally do, however, is create thoughts that trap us”

      The world is changing rapidly, and with the advent of AI, everyone is falling over themselves trying to figure out what skills are necessary for the future. According to Rodney, *bleep* is the most important skill of all time. He calls it the one skill to rule them all. The skill that determines the efficacy of all other skills. It is a skill for all time. With it, every future is secure.

      If you want to know what this skill is, and how it will serve you and your children forever, listen.

        • Godpreneur: Build the Company You Want to Work For

          "A company lives and dies by the mental, emotional, and spiritual makeup of the oga at the top...a lot of ogas are underdeveloped, greedy, shortsighted, and generally unremarkable."

          This episode addresses a number of things:

          • Many independent-thinking young people opted against 9-5 work because most Nigerian companies don’t have the culture to accommodate them.
            • Business is all about making money but if you’re going to gather people under a company and expect them to help you make money, you have to create conditions that go beyond money.
            • How to build a culture that gets the job done and attracts brilliant people.
            • The green flags that say a company is a great place to work.
            • Listen and learn about the art of entrepreneurship, and how to do business like a god.

            • Gifts + Skills = Entering Your Element

              “Figure out what comes easy to you, then go hard at it."

              This episode is inspired by a conversation with a woman who had ticked off all of society's expectations by age 30 and was now experiencing a pre-life crisis.

              Rodney muses that much of what constitutes success in life is the consequence of finding the place in relationships, work, and personal commitment that corresponds to your unique personality structure. He speaks of how he navigated the minefields of life and the series of right decisions he made to enter his element.

            • Taste + Skill: The Antidote to Artificial Intelligence

              "I believe that to do great work, we need two fundamental assets: taste and skill. This is true for anything, from art to business." -- Rodney

              Have you ever thought about 'having taste' as a skill? In a world where AI enables anyone to create anything, taste and discernment become premium; intuition and artistry will be necessary to produce superior art, products, and experiences. Hence, taste as a skill. If you want to win in this brave new world, you must develop and refine your taste, level up your skills in something you already have a good taste for, and combine your existing taste and skills to go stand out.

              In this episode, you will learn the nuances of taste, the levels of taste, how to develop it, how to build a career immune to AI, and how having good taste is necessary for a generally enjoyable life. Rodney also introduces an original term -- the tastemaster.
