Attended ATS Nairobi last week + the after-event spaces and the learning never stopped.
From Web3 infrastructure to stablecoins, crossborder exchanges, and on-chain growth, the conversations were rich.
Grateful to be in rooms that challenge me and push me beyond comfort. #ATS2026

If you want another man to assist you,
• With a job,
• Opportunities,
• Financial assistance,
Never use your emotional issues and predicaments as bargaining points.
Nobody is interested in your problems,
"I am suffering, please help."
"My wife is sick, I need the job."
"I have been kicked out of the rental house. Please help"
"Banks are auctioning me."
"I have a degree, yet I am jobless, I am depressed."
Once you sell your emotional package, you automatically become a turn-off.
A man will help you in view of your value to him, not because you are suffering.
He may be philanthropic in supporting you in the short term. Still, he will expect you to discard your victimhood mentality and seek a sustainable solution to move beyond your rock bottom.
However, do not pour your problems onto him.
The best he can do is to tell you,
"May God see you through."
Please note that everyone is going through some sort of problems, including the man you are seeking help from, not just you.
Many men you see as successful are seen that way because they have successfully hidden their chaos and emotions from the rest of the world.
The man you see driving an expensive car and wearing expensive suits is also going through something that, if he shared, you would empathize with his situation.
A lot of men have chosen to outgrow their problems by ignoring circumstances beyond their control while focusing on maximizing their skills and value to the world.
So, when you are seeking support from another man, sell your skill, value and experience, and how you can solve a problem for him.
Keep your suffering and problems to yourself; nobody is interested in them.
You are a MAN, you have yourself, and that is enough.
Your breakthrough will come.
Chin up, towards God!

I'm telling you and you might not believe this, but it took me just 4 months of locking in.
September, October, November, December 2023 to change my life forever.
It didn't only change my life but those around me.
Every single one of my sibling has gotten into web 3.
Crazy how I'm the last born.
You can change your life also.
Stop all this pmo mentality.
Bro work!
You are lazy!
Leave all those 10k, 30K web 2 Jobs they are distracting you.
Stop treating web 3 as a side hustle, make it the "main thing"
And you need "faith".
You need to beleive that web 3 can pay.
Cause when I started off, I had not even seen a $1 transaction before.
But I just had that belief that "this thing go pay me one day".
It's time to aim for something bigger.
Are you ready?

Sweet Alpha For Applicants
𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐉𝐨𝐛 𝐁𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬, 𝐃𝐎 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠:
✓ Tailor your application to each specific role, Recruiters can instantly spot copy-paste applications and they go straight to the trash
✓ Research the project before you apply, You need to understand what they're building and why it matters in the space
✓ Show real results with actual numbers
Don't say "I create video content."
Say "created 10 videos for @solsticefi that onboarded over 1,000 users to the platform." { Show workingss }
✓ Follow up after a week if you haven't heard back
It shows you're genuinely interested and separates you from people who just spray applications
𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐉𝐨𝐛 𝐁𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬, 𝐃𝐎𝐍'𝐓 𝐃𝐎 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠:
✗ Don't apply to every single job you see
Sending 50 generic applications gets you nowhere compared to 5 targeted ones
You're wasting time and burning your reputation
✗ Don't use the same resume for every application Each role needs a resume that speaks to their specific needs
A DeFi protocol like @Infinit_Labs needs to see different skills than an NFT project
✗ Don't write cover letters that read like essays
Nobody's reading three paragraphs about your journey,
Keep it tight, relevant, and focused on what you bring to their project
✗ Don't ignore what they're actually asking for
If they need Solidity experience, show them your Solidity work, not your graphic design portfolio
Irrelevant skills signal you didn't read the posting
✗ Don't sound desperate or beg for the opportunity. Lines like "I'll do anything" or "I really need this" kill your chances
Confidence attracts offers while desperation repels them
The best jobs in Web3 don't come from mass applications
They come from targeted approaches that prove you understand exactly what the project needs and how you solve it
