One thing I like about Nairobi is the robust business ecosystem. You go to Bihi Towers & its boxes of products being brought down the stairs. Go to Bazaar, same. Go to Star Mall, no breathing space. Imenti folks literally race up & down the stairs. People work hard in this city.
Proverbs 6:20-22
[20] My son, keep your father’s commandments and do not forsake your mother's teachings.
[21] Bind them always on your heart. Fasten them around your neck.
[22] When you walk, they will guide you. When you sleep, they will watch over you. When you are awake, they will speak to you.
Once you run a business and see how much work it takes to make even a thousand shillings in profit you understand why businesses people, even the rich ones are so frugal.

I’m a big fan of understanding how money actually works. If you know good Podcasts, YouTube channels, or books that explain money, wealth, and economics in a simple way, please share them. I’ll appreciate it and someone else here might need it too.
