How @FelixFomengia Created the #GCE App & Brought the Library to 40,000 #Students in #Cameroon 🔥📱📚 | Dear ARREYB

[Arrey Bate @arrey_bate]

For the past five months, I’ve completely shut down all my #socialmedia to reconnect with myself — and today marks my return with some fresh energy and some #exciting news from #behindthescene

But first… I’ve just recorded a special comeback #episode of the podcast! Earlier this month, I reached out to my friend Dr Javnyuy Joybert @CELBMD , hoping he’d join me for this milestone episode of Dear ARREYB [The Podcast] — and fortunately, he said YES! (He too had been taking some time away from some platforms)

So, I’m thrilled to kick off this return with an epic sit-down, sharing what #Joybert and I have both been working on.

Here’s what we dive into:

✔️ Why stepping away from social media can be powerful
✔️ What daily life looked like beyond the digital spotlight
✔️ Joybert’s biggest takeaways during his time off
✔️ How to build a strong personal brand from scratch
✔️ The surprising power of consistency and structured frameworks
✔️ Why some entrepreneurs should consider taking jobs
✔️ The mindset around money, wealth, and parenting among the elite
✔️ What’s next for Joybert — and why he’s returning even stronger

This #episode is packed with practical insights, thoughtful #reflections and a renewed #perspective on #productivity, #identity and #intentionalliving in today’s hyper-connected world

A lot of #friends have already been sharing their reviews on FB 👀 Have a listen, drop a comment, and let me know you’re tuned in!

‼️😱"I live with an artifici@l he@rt..." actor #EpuleJeffrey exclusively reveals on Dear ARREYB [The Podcast]‼️😱

Last week I talked about my junior #sister on the podcast❤️It was about the time when I started #teaching her how to manage #money🔥💸👀👩‍❤️‍👨

This video means so much to me for many reasons: It represents a #conversation I wish many of our #households start having with #children at an early age to prepare them for #life and it also represents a young #woman who is growing to understand the reality of how life truly works, the fulfilment to work and earn her own money and more importantly a disconnect from every #ENTITLEMENT #mindset from family and the people around

I shared this with her and she approved that I put this little part of our story out. I love that woman❤️ I'm so proud to be her brother and she's welcome I accepted to come to their family😅otherwise, I should have chosen a different mom😅💁‍♂️

Last #weekend I delivered a #presentation as the #face of The Intelligent ICT #Awards in #SouthAfrica and here's some cool images of the event

As my friends know, aside running The #SmartClub and #Dear ARREYB [The Podcast] I've been serving on the Intelligent CIO editorial team and conducting a bunch of #interviews with high level #CEOs, CISOs, C-suits and thought leaders around the world

When the team decided they were going to extend The Intelligent ICT Awards to #Africa, they asked if I wanted to be the face of their very first event on African soil? I said a big YES and delivering this #keynote was one of those moments as the face✊ Big #congratulations to the team!
