This year’s Founders Connect event is different because we’re building it around the exact honest, unfiltered, in-depth conversations we are known for.

Except this time, you are not just watching. You get to be in the room, ask the questions you have always wanted to ask, and hear directly from founders, operators, and leaders who are gonna shape what comes next.

Paul Onwuanibe is back, and this time, you get to ask him all your burning questions.

I’ll also be interviewing Deepankar Rustagi live.

It’s an intimate gathering, so seats are limited.

This is my official invite to you so get your tickets now 🎟️

@peaceitimi Ma, good point! 🤏🏽

@peaceitimi @tthe_governor I think you could not have said it better: upskill the technical stuff, and do the same with business acumen and people management.

[Peace Itimi @peaceitimi]

There is a conversation happening about AI and jobs, and most of it is driven by fear.

I understand the fear. When something new comes and changes how work gets done, it is natural to feel threatened.

But I keep thinking about the arc of how humans have always moved through technological change. And then people learned. They always do.

AI is just the next iteration of that. The question is not whether it will change things. It will. The question is whether you will commit to learning how to work with it rather than against it.

The early reviews on Velocity, Momentum & Distribution have been insightful.

Different readers, different industries, same takeaway: growth without distribution is expensive wishful thinking.

This book was built for people serious about scale. The right readers always know.

See what @peaceitimi had to say

[Justice Eneje (ClapMi | TribeChief) @CHIEFIKENGA]

The work @peaceitimi does in telling African builder stories is unmatched.

The sheer consistency of it for almost close to a decade is truly inspirational.

[Peace Itimi @peaceitimi]

@saintmalik_ Oh oh! Which of them? Anyway here https://t.co/pKTG2RnHpH

Patience is not the opposite of ambition.

There is a version of moving fast that is really just fear of stillness. The pressure to decide now, act now, respond now, most of it is noise dressed up as urgency. Real urgency is rare. Manufactured urgency is everywhere.

Some of the clearest decisions I have ever made came from waiting. Sitting with something long enough to see it without the anxiety around it. Letting a question breathe until the answer arrived on its own terms. That is not stalling. That is a different kind of work.

You can be deeply ambitious and still be patient. You can want something badly and still wait for the right version of it. The two are not in conflict.

The waiting is not empty. It is where you stop reacting and start choosing.

I always knew money can buy happiness. I also always knew happy people were truly present/loved their or what they do. Makes a lot of sense.

[Naza @nazzaokonkwo]

I enjoyed this one. I like the part where his Employers trusted and believed in him enough to write him his first check.

Years ago, l aspired to just move around helping founders tell their stories lol. Glad you’re doing the Lord’s work and so well.

I spent the day watching the Founders Connect interviews.
Watching each interview reminded me how building meaningful things is rarely straightforward.

Founders discussed their mistakes and near misses, the hard choices they had to make, and the times things went wrong. What struck me the most was their determination to continue building.

From all of this, the most important lesson I learned was that having all the answers is not the key to success.
Closing the gaps and enduring the unknown is what actually matters.

Thank you, @peaceitimi , for capturing the stories of your interviewed founders so honestly and building this important platform

I’ve been thinking a lot about what it really takes to do hard things. Starting a company. Leading a team. Building something from nothing.

Two words keep coming up for me: courage and confidence.

Courage is the quiet decision to do something that scares you. It is choosing to move even when you don’t know how it will go. Every founder or leader knows that moment before you hit publish, hire someone new, raise money or make a big change. You have to move first and figure it out later.

Confidence comes after. It grows from the evidence that you can survive uncertainty. You do the hard thing once, you realise you can handle it, and that becomes the proof you carry into the next thing.

Both matter, but they happen in order. Courage first. Confidence later.
And you can’t skip courage. It is the only way to build the proof that confidence needs.

So if you are in a season of building, don’t wait to feel confident. It won’t come before you start. Take one small step with whatever courage you have today. That is how you build both.
