Flawed human...other amazing things in-between. Here for the talks: deep, cheap, all forms, & occasionally serious conversations like SDG, biotech, research.

Defend ideas. Not people. Never defend people. People are fickle, complicated. And even when you defend ideas, interrogate them until they prove worthy, fit for purpose; refine them. Ideas will not sneak up on you and have scandals. They will not be greedy and betray you.

Please don't ask for Uber money to the initial dates if you're anything above 28. Or to be picked up. It's a total turn off. Get other cheaper means or get your priorities straight. You can't be 35 asking for Uber money, man. It smacks lunacy. And an egregious lack of seriousness.

I would sooner you postponed the date until such a time you can afford an Uber, if you must use it. There are buses. There are motorcycles. Find your way to the date if it's really a date you seek. I don't want to get you an Uber, not because I can't but because I do not wish to validate that kind of irresponsibility in an adult.

I find that my life improves a lot when I shrink the time horizon. Instead of worrying about long-term goals, I just focus on the next hour. Do one thing that moves me forward. One closed loop. One workout. One hard conversation. One whatever. Thinking about how to build a successful life is daunting. How can you have a successful day? How can you win this hour? Do that. Then do it again. Momentum is a byproduct of movement.

I grew up resenting my aunt for being well-off but not helping us financially.

When I started working, I promised myself I’d be a better version of her. I helped siblings, nieces, nephews, family — whoever needed it.

Then Black Tax had me in a chokehold, and eventually debt started catching up with me.

That’s when I learned to set boundaries.

I finally understood that I don’t owe anyone financial support simply because we’re family. And, most importantly, I stopped feeling guilty about it.

Funny how adulthood teaches you to understand the people you once judged.

@djxquisite_ You don’t have female friends? Sheesh you’re suffering❤️🫂

[James Clear @JamesClear]

When I go into a situation, I try to keep a mindset of baseline optimism.

- When starting the day: It's going to be a good day.

- When meeting someone new: I'm going to like them.

- When trying something challenging: It's going to work out.

Problems will inevitably arise and I'll deal with them as the situation demands, but my preference is to assume I'm on a winning path until proven otherwise.

[Okong' Okuna @XivTroy]

I didn't set out to live a long life so I'm not entirely keen on wealth. If I seek money, it's merely to keep body & soul together as nature demands. But beyond that, my aspirations lean more towards adventure: to experience new people, sights, cuisines & the occasional romance.

Exposure is EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!

Stay in proximity to the life you want.

What you can relate to is a cue to the quality and standard of life you have permitted yourself to have.

Break the loop of impossibility.

[aether @bluewdrift]

You should study what makes you defensive. The topic you avoid, the joke that irritates you, the question that feels insulting, the feedback you instantly reject. Defensiveness is usually the guard dog sitting in front of a weakness you have not trained yourself to face.

[Brains_Achi @Inwereogu]

This is such an insightful take 👏🏾

One thing about me, I'll keep working till I get lucky...

I was speaking to a younger filmmaker tonight and she was telling me how hard things are. My only message to her was; don't give up.
It took me almost 3 years to raise the 45m it took to produce Isoken. It was my first film, I knew nothing about film distribution, worse still, no one with experience was sharing information.
I was flying blind and people would call me with so much misinformation pulling me in a million directions. The anxiety from the publicity period leading to the box office release was so intense, I couldn't leave my house for weeks after. I considered giving up, going back to banking, marketing comms, heck even tech (I used to programme banking software, I've lived many lives lol)

5 years later, my life would completely change and I would be signing a deal only God could have orchestrated. But I was only able to sign that deal because it met me with work in my hands. I kept at it... even when it wasn't glamours. Even when I drove the same car for 10years because I was reinvesting everything into my business. My cast and crew would tease me about it for years lol. Even when I couldn't attend my close friend's wedding in Santorini because I had just made a film and in the entire value chain of the business, Producers get paid last and so I was broke lol.

I firmly believe in seasons, and though the sowing season is tough AF (I still cried to two of my friends yesterday so don't think I'm immune now), the only way you get to harvest is if you have sown.

So get to sowing and be patient💕

Some Christian brothers don’t want to acknowledge that they are battling with lust and lack self control, instead they put the blame on Christian sisters.

There's one Elect-elect student who's working with me.

He borrowed 100k from the business cos his phone got bad and needed to get another one.

I am to deduct 25k from his monthly pay, and I've only deducted once.

Got to my office this evening, and noticed something.

He does this all the time, actually.

Our powerhouse is behind my office, since my office is the last room in the building.

Once it's 6pm, he goes to the powerhouse to test-run everything.

Starts the Mikano, runs it for a while, then turns it off.

Starts our firrman gen, runs it for a wile then turns it off.

Changes some gears, because I could hear the kpaka.. Kpaka.

Just to ensure we run very smoothly every night.

You need to see this guy whenever there's an electrical issue.

Some days too, he has rescued us when it took a while before our electrician arrived, even in my house, by fixing some minor things.

He has been very instrumental to the smooth running of the business.

And to surprise him...

I will be waving the remaining 75k.

He would be shocked to see his full salary tonight.

When Carl Jung said:

“No matter how isolated you are and how lonely you feel, if you do your work truly and conscientiously, unknown allies will come and seek you.”

[Silverhand @21xSilverhand]

A man who went to prison for talking people out of their money filmed himself doing it live, then sold the method as a course. 7 million people have watched him work.

The man is Jordan Belfort. The film about him made him famous. What almost nobody has done is watch the real one, on camera, running the actual technique on a real prospect for 22 minutes with no script and no edit.

And the way he does it is the reason to watch.

He barely talks about the product. The first minutes are almost entirely questions, and every answer gets used against the person later in his own words. He is not persuading. He is collecting.

Then the phrase the comments turned into a meme. He ends his key sentences with four words that make agreement feel like the neutral option and refusal feel like rudeness. Once you notice it, you cannot unhear it, and you will catch it in the next call you take.

One viewer broke the whole method into 9 steps in a comment. It got 12 thousand likes, which tells you people are studying this video like a manual.

Here is the uncomfortable part. Every technique in it is ordinary sales advice: listen, mirror, remove friction, set expectations. That is exactly what makes it worth studying. The tools were never the crime. The intent was.

Learn what is being done to you and it stops working on you. That is the only defense there is.

22 minutes. No script. It is in the video.
