This is part 2: a cringefest of a Yesticle that is proudly sponsored by a lockable A6 diary from decades past. Yes, the era when the Spice Girls showed us how to spice up our lives and Christina Aguilera confirmed that we were all beautiful.

Seat belts on, because the Yes Girls are exploring a past iteration of Claire - a version almost certainly unknown to you.

It goes like this:

Claire reads out a couple of entries from her almost fossilised diary, and with Akumu as her laughingly supportive cohost, they psychoanalyse the teenage musings.

From a mad hair competition to becoming a magazine editor to falling in love?!? It's epic.

So, grab some snacks and let's dive into the crazy rollercoaster that is the life of a millennial teenager.

After AI-generated scripting comes AI-generated voices! But are we scared? No, we are not! AI will not steal our jobs. At least not today. We stay woke, my friends!

And speaking of "woke", that's the topic of this mashup - our first-ever themed mashup release. Because what's the point of 3+ years of podcasting and 60+ episodes if you can't mash up some conversations, right? And this topic is completely relevant in this day and age with everything that's happening in the country and in the world right now.

We are revisiting AI podcasting for this yesticle as a sequel to the AI-scripted one. That means in this one, we feature some pretty epic AI summarisation by AI-generated podcast voices "John" and "Anne" plucked straight out of Google's exciting (and a tad scary) AI technology called NotebookLM.

NotebookLM is a cutting-edge AI tool from Google that transforms your documents into a personalised knowledge base. By training it on your specific content, it becomes an expert on your chosen topic. A unique feature of NotebookLM is its ability to generate informative podcasts, turning complex research into engaging audio conversations.

That's where this yesticle came in. To edu-tain you while experimenting. 

We fed Notebook LM links and papers on the topic of wokeism, what it means to be woke, and why it matters. We mashed that up with Akumu and Claire's conversation on what previous guest experts have said on the topic and behold, a human-AI podcast episode that is woke as hell.

Tune in to understand the various definitions of "being woke", to figure out whether the word "woke" is positive or negative, how to respond to it, why it became toxic, what the woke movement is about and how you can say "yes" to approaching the term on your own terms.

For this first Season 7-esque Yesticle, the Yes Girls, Claire and Akumu, summarise their key takeaways, lifelong lessons, and wishes related to the six fantastic Yes challenges they both completed live in the studio alongside six amazing guest experts.

Warning: this conversation will probably get you listening to more episodes, especially the ones they discuss.

In chronological order, they are:

• Doing proper time management with Chris Kirwa
• Learning digital literacy with Dr. Bright Gameli
• Being male feminists with Jeff Dindi
• Learning emotional intelligence with Adelle Onyango
• Doing critical thinking with Dr. Laila Macharia
• Being changemakers with Geoffrey Mboya

The girls cover the high-impact episodes or challenges, what they've learnt, whether they've seen any benefits, why some were surprising, and why the immersive improvisations/role plays and interviews with the experts made such a difference.

Last but not least, they discuss the advantages of trying new things and the value of stepping outside your comfort zone.

If you are happy to explore that with Claire and Akumu, then tune in. Be sure to comment below this episode or DM the Yes Girls on Instagram, X, or TikTok with your feedback.

Keep saying YES!

In this conversation, the Yes girls dive into the world of entrepreneurship, specifically, how to find your ikigai and how that translated into the Ikigai spaces we all know and love.

Nyambura also gives the girls a short 5-minute challenge to offer them and you a taste of what being a coworking space entrepreneur can feel like. She then goes ahead to share her journey before she found her ikigai (puns intended).

In light of the recent protests in Kenya, many people are asking themselves, "Can I really make a difference?" "Does my voice even matter?" "Isn't it better to just stay out of it?" These are common questions that can hold each one of us back from taking action or speaking up.

However, according to this episode's expert, inaction is not an option. Especially with what's happening right now in the world and, more specifically, in Kenya. We have no option but to do what we can to be part of the solution.

So, for this one, the Yes Girls are exploring how to say yes to being changemakers with live studio guest, activist, community organiser, humanitarian, youth advisor, and sustainability advocate, Geoffrey Mboya (@resilient_mboya).

Geoffrey was and still is on the front lines of the wave that began Kenya's nationwide protests against the Finance Bill, also dubbed the Gen-Z protests (and he is a Gen Z-er himself). He is actively engaged in community organising around health, the environment, and politics, and is certainly wise beyond his years.

As an ode to Season 7, Akumu and Claire are doing the Yes challenge in the studio, alongside the guest expert during recording. All of this so as to make it even more blindingly obvious that you can say yes to something new even if you're short on time.

So, they explore activism and community engagement first with the challenge that Geoffrey sets for them, and then they discuss why activism is so necessary for today's Kenya and today's world.

In this inspiring episode, Geoffrey discusses:

• His personal journey to becoming an activist
• The importance of community organising and its impact on social change
• How he overcomes obstacles and stays motivated in the face of adversity
• The power of the youth and the role they play in shaping the future
• Inspiring stories of individuals who have made a difference and inspired him and others

Tune in to learn more about the world of activism and the life of an activist. Find out how anyone can make a positive impact, no matter how small, and get ready to be inspired and empowered to make a change in your own community starting today.

How often do you think twice beyond your initial assumptions? How often are you able to think actively, rather than passively, when absorbing information as it's presented to you?

Yes, for this one, the Yes Girls are exploring the power of doubt and the art of questioning situations in order to make better decisions with live studio guest, angel investor, entrepreneur, lawyer by training, and international business expert - Laila Macharia (@lailamacharia), who is the founding director of Aspen Initiative Africa and Co-founder and Chair of the Africa Digital Media Institute (ADMI).

Remember, it's Season 7, meaning Akumu and Claire are doing the "learning something new" challenge in situ, i.e., in the studio, with the expert while recording the episodes. All of this makes it even more blindingly obvious that you can say yes to something new even if you're short on time.

That means that this Yespisode explores critical thinking first through role-playing and then discusses why it is such a necessary learning for any human being in today's world.

Laila pulls out all the stops to ensure the girls have several practical tips, tricks, and resources to enable them to think more critically. 

After the 5-minute session exploring the famous moral dilemma known as The Overcrowded Lifeboat by Garrett Hardin, Laila goes on to introduce concepts such as the Six Thinking Hats by the DeBono Group, the Black Swan theory, why it is important to get out of your echo chamber, why diverse teams make better decisions, why it is important to "get off the dance floor and go to the balcony" for better clarity and so much more.

Listen in to gain valuable insights into what critical thinking is, why it is such an important 21st-century skill, examples of how you can start thinking more critically, how critical thinking affects decision-making, and simple tips to make you a more discerning, deliberate and disciplined thinker starting today.

Tune in as Laila and the Yes Girls challenge you to think critically. They'll guide you through the process of questioning assumptions and recognising cognitive biases to form more accurate judgments.

What's your Emotional Quotient (EQ)? Yup, for this one, the Yes Girls explore this topic with Adelle Onyango: media personality, author, social activist, speaker, poet, podcaster, entrepreneur, and honorary Yes Girl (@adelleonyango), and the mighty force behind @legallycluelessafrica.

Remember, it's Season 7, meaning Akumu and Claire are attempting to do the "learning something new" challenge in situ, i.e., in the studio, next to the expert as the recording happens. All of this just to make it even more blindingly obvious that YOU can say yes to something new even if you're short on time.

That means this Yespisode explores EI or EQ firstly through role-playing as the quintessential Yes Challenge. And who better to do this with the girls than Adelle?! She embodies personal development, self-awareness, and emotional healing beyond her obvious badassery. She sits in as the judge, challenger, and all-seeing, all-knowing guest expert.

The Yes Challenge is a 15-minute role-play on relationship management, self-awareness and self-regulation, in particular. In the scenario, a couple, Amy and Jerome (played by Claire and Akumu) is discussing a relationship issue connected to control and freedom.

Adelle then rates them, and we hear from her about how she says 'yes' to being the captain of her emotions in her daily life and how we can all benefit from improved emotional intelligence.

This episode will give you valuable insights into how to improve your emotional intelligence, particularly in relationships and at the workplace, the benefits of doing so, the importance of empathy, social awareness and communication, as well as the ultimate goal of being self-aware before anything else.

So tune in as Adelle and the Yes Girls explore how to move from handling emotional baggage obliviously to being captains and proper caretakers of our emotional ships.

In this episode, the Yes Girls dive deep into the world of male feminism with a live studio guest, Jeff Dindi, the dynamic force behind @PresentFatherhood. Known for his candid approach to challenging traditional gender roles and advocating for present fatherhood, Jeff brings his unique perspective to the studio.

This season, it's all about what the girls can do in-studio to make it even more blindingly obvious that YOU can say yes to something new even if you're short on time.

This Yespisode begins with a Yes challenge, with Jeff as judge, challenger, and all-seeing, all-knowing guest expert.

The challenge is a 15-minute role-play tackling male feminism via the lens of Parenting and Gender Roles. In the scenario, a couple (played by Akumu and Claire) is discussing household chores and childcare responsibilities. Jeff then rates them, and we hear from him about how he says 'yes' as a male feminist in his daily life and how we can all benefit from feminism.

Yes, this episode delves into the heart of what it means to be a male feminist, what it means to be a feminist ally, father, son, and brother, what we expect from men and why, and how to show an example to the next generation of boys and men. It also uncovers Jeff's personal journey and the misconceptions surrounding the feminist movement, especially in the African and Kenyan context. 

You will gain valuable insights into how men can actively participate as champions of feminism and gender equality, redefining masculinity with regard to gender roles, the benefits of a more feminist society, and having men as feminist allies. This yespisode also provides practical tips for anyone who is in a heterosexual relationship, whether or not they are parents. 

Tune in as Jeff and the Yes Girls challenge norms, inspire change, and redefine what it means to be feminist in today's world.

This season, the Yes Girls are all about crushing it in-studio, and this episode is no exception! They are saying yes to showing you how to conquer anything yes-tifiably, even if you're strapped for time.

And speaking of time, let's introduce the expert himself: Chris Kirwa (Instagram: @chriskirwa)

Chris is an event planning guru with 20 years of experience. Safety and security are his middle name. He's the founder and COO of CateChris Limited, your one-stop shop for corporate, government, and basically any kind of event you can imagine, plus other PR-related services.

And so Chris is here to help the girls SLAY the time management game.

Best of all, he is throwing them a crazy role-playing Yes challenge (a scenario that actually happened, by the way) for no more than 15 minutes. He then sits in as the judge (with his all-seeing event planning wisdom!) then spills his secrets for conquering the clock.

Buckle up, Yes People. You're about to get productive!

Here's a sneak peek:

• The Yes Girls' challenge: Can they tackle a time management task with Chris as their judge, jury, and executioner (well, kinda)?
• Chris gets real: Chris shares his pro tips (plus some Yes Girls' only exclusives) for mastering your minutes and why time management is your new superpower (no matter your profession).
• Timeless philosophy: The girls are getting down and dirty with Chris' best time management beliefs.
• Are you doomed forever? Chris spills the tea on whether some people are just destined to be late or if they're just making excuses. (Spoiler alert: there's hope for everyone!)

BEWARE: This time management episode includes crisis management examples that will help you prioritise your tasks like a boss, inspire you to be more productive, and offer productivity hacks and time management tips & techniques even if you are the busiest of people.

Bombaclat! That's enough procrastinating over here.

Time for you to hit play and start getting sh*t done!
