Underrated career advice: Choose to work in a place with high talent density early in your career.
You tend to rise or fall to the level of the people around you. When you work with exceptional people, you absorb their standards, pace, frameworks, and instincts almost through osmosis.
High-talent environments compress learning cycles and force you to grow faster than you would on your own. They change your opportunity set and rewire your brain. The compounding effect of a few years in that environment can change the trajectory of your life.
Early in your career, there’s probably nothing more valuable than choosing the room with the highest talent per square foot.
Nigerian parents, we need to stop romanticising “sending your child to Canada 🇨🇦.”
Some of these kids arrive and, within months, are in jail, dealing drugs, in gangs, in debt, or sleeping on the street, while the parents back home still think they’re “studying hard.”
Cannabis is legal here. The party culture is aggressive. The loneliness hits different. And when things go wrong, many parents can’t even get a visa to come see what’s happening.
Sending your child abroad is not the end of parenting.
It’s the beginning of a harder version of it.

If you can’t answer those, you’re not sending them to a better future. You’re just exporting the risk.
Prepare them properly or don’t send them at all.
The quickest way to lose respect is to be available at all times.
Scarcity is not a game you play with people.
It is a signal that your time has value, and it starts with how seriously you take it yourself.

What kind of country is this?
The traditional wedding was a movie.

My best early hire at Groove left after 18 months for $50k more a year. I pitched him equity upside. He said he appreciated it, but he had a mortgage to pay. That equity would be worth zero today. He was right.
