A utopia, as described by Google describes an imaginary community or society that possesses highly desirable or near-perfect qualities for its members. In this episode, Asher describes what a Utopia is from his perspective. This episode was inspired by several events which include an album drop, a church service sermon, and personal thought. All of these are compressed into 6 minutes of an episode on the podcast. Utopia is Discipline, and that is because it's the only cure for personal chaos. It's easier said than done like every other essential thing that requires intention and effort. "A beautiful life would be default mode".Please, share the episode with a friend if you enjoy it.

It’s Nigeria. It’s Nigerians. That’s the topic. We need an education on what better means. The Essence of this is to spark a conversation. Enjoy.

An interesting burst about Information, ignorance and the cure for it. We are who we are at whatever point by reason of the level of information and knowledge we have and the knowledge we have acted on. The Essence of this is to spark a conversation. Enjoy.

An interesting conversation that was short lived in the length of the episode is that of - the creative economy & money. Negotiation, Money and Pricing are very touchy points in the creative conversation. The essence of this is to create a real conversation. Enjoy

"Death is promised. I hope you comprehend your mortality." This episode is a story I hope I told with the level of compassion in my heart when the incident and everything that followed happened. Jay Z’s “young forever” plays while I write the description of the episode. Words fail me. Someone I know said “we are all hypocrites”, I don’t think we are - I think we are just human, that’s why there’s Jesus, and truly I hope we live the truest versions of ourselves at every moment, I hope we get to choose that part of ourselves because there’s no lying or living in deceit when it could be over in a flash. Enjoy the episode.

2023 for the hive mind that is my circle was a necessary year full of hurdles and striving. Lessons learnt and thoughts executed. The new year resolution is to be better, there’s always an opportunity to scale, there’s always a way to make your day make little more sense even through the personal occasional - permit me, fuck ups for some more than others. Above all, I’m happy I’m still standing right now with the people I stood w at the beginning of the previous year, same energy, same vision and fight.

“What’s the plan without a laptop?” Is an episode about real priorities. The one behind the screen, deeper than handling components on a device. Real life outside plotting for social growth at the expense of something more personal, with substance. It’s easy to talk about the plan but the follow through is the “co-co”. Well, talk is cheap. Welcome to 2024, let’s go!.

Another episode, a short take before the close of the year. This take is special, from the perspective of a mom - Asher’s Mom. This could be easily said to be an episode for the girls, but there’s gems in it for every gender. Listen and Enjoy. If you loved the episode, share it with someone who would appreciate it.

The person behind the mic wants to remain anonymous for reasons best known to her. This is a take, a personal account of her thought process and her perspective on how she sees life positively in your opinion or not.

After receiving this recording, I had to reach out to the person for a conversation and reassurance that there's a family of friends ready and available to support you at every turn.

"This is the most beautiful thing I've heard this week" - Asher.

On this episode of takes, Zeke aka don.tlo0katme talks about distractions. This conversation came up not too long before the recording. He is disgusted at the rate at which people who are supposed to be driven by their dreams come to terms very slowly with admitting that their dream are not going to happen, instead of putting in the work to ensure that it does. what a take!

don.tlo0katme is an amazing artist and record producer who dropped his new single "Cruise". Here's the link to give it a spin, you'd love it - https://onerpm.link/617429724564
