You need to find people who feed you and not just need you. Especially in your inner circle of closest friends, you shouldn’t have alarmists who are always having a crisis or people who always want you to keep them happy. Your close friends need to be stable, wise, happy, responsible people who push you forward. Like iron sharpening iron, you make each other better.
Become wise by walking with the wise; hang out with fools and watch your life fall to pieces.
Proverbs 13:20, MSG
Larry Madowo asking Kenyans to “cancel” him is actually a very dangerous game for someone whose public profile was built largely through television before social media turned that visibility into followers.
Many journalists confuse a huge audience with a loyal personal following, yet a good part of that audience originally came from the media house, the prime-time slot, the interviews, the clips, the breaking stories and the daily exposure that came with being on television.
Kenya has seen this before, where journalists looked massive when they were sitting behind the desk at Citizen TV, NTV, KTN or K24, then left the station and suddenly found out that getting people to follow you is very different from getting people to watch the platform carrying you.
Anne Kiguta was once one of the most visible political interviewers on Kenyan television, yet after leaving mainstream prime-time television, her independent visibility never matched the reach she enjoyed when major stations were putting her before millions of viewers every week.
Enock Sikolia himself spoke about how people he considered friends disappeared after he left Citizen TV and started The Kenyan Historian on YouTube, which tells you how quickly the ecosystem around a television personality can change once the big media machine is removed.
Lynn Ngugi saw this trap and before people associated her with Tuko, she built her own social profiles and is very big on Youtube.
That is the real test......
Can you leave the television station, lose the cameras, lose the newsroom, lose the constant promotion, start from your own platform and still command the same attention several years later?
If you have never really passed that test, baiting people to cancel you for laughs is risky, because one day you may find out that the numbers you thought belonged to you were partly rented from the institution that made you visible.
A woman paid for Amazon Prime for 5 years before she realized she was using it wrong.
She'd ordered hundreds of packages. Watched a few shows on Prime Video. Never once looked past the "Buy Now" button.
Her cousin — who worked Amazon customer service for 3 years — was staying over for the holidays and watched her order a phone charger at full price.
She finally said: "Wait — can I see your account for a second? You're missing 9 things that come with the Prime you're already paying for. Amazon doesn't advertise most of these. They'd rather you not use them."
She changed 9 things in 10 minutes.
She saved $340 that month. Got a package a day early. Found $1,200 worth of stuff she already owned buried in a benefit she'd never opened.
Here's everything her cousin showed her:
Self-awareness is the doorway to transformation. By embracing our strengths, quirks, and passions, we unleash our full potential. Let's embark on this journey of self-discovery and create a life that truly aligns with who we are.
Self-discovery is a journey of unlocking untapped potential. Embrace who you are, explore your passions, and watch as your authentic self radiates positive energy, inspiring others to do the same.✨
The secret to cooking immediately after work, is not giving yourself time to rest.. just dump your bag, wash your hands and head straight to the kitchen.. because once you hit the shower and get comfortable, thassit!

Yaani Museveni found Moi as President, Moi left 16 years later. M7 came for the Kibaki inauguration, 10 years later, M7 came back for Uhuru's inauguration and now 10 years later, M7 is back again for Ruto's. My heart bleeds for Uganda. 💔
