I am setting up a GitHub repo, let me write down the steps to reproduce it, some docs and I'll let you train your YOLO 😆

The bird whisper of new song, the cats of silence.

Is it omen or just the wheels turning?

Energy we could use for value creation gets diverted into protection

Maybe not every energy issue is technical / political / economical. Maybe some (even just a tiny %) is simply social

Rant over 😅. Back to sleep 💤

Just got woken up by my neighbour’s plantain tree triggering our electric fence

Starting an AI Agency right now is one of the smartest plays you can make.

clients see AI as premium. You’re not offering some basic ass marketing service & you’re solving real problems with automation.

that’s why $3K to $10K++ per project is normal when the outcome is clear. On top of that, you get positioning.

most businesses still have no clue HOW to use this stuff, so when you show up with a working system, you look like the expert by default.

fulfillment is scalable. Once you build the workflow, you can reuse it. Automation cuts your time per client, and you don’t need to hire anyone to grow.

one system can serve ten clients if you set it up right.

and long-term, this isn’t going anywhere. AI is becoming the backbone of how businesses operate. Demand keeps rising even in a slowdown, and the market is expected to 10x over the next few years.

If you know how to build and deliver these systems, you’re not just making cold cash, you’re stacking genuine leverage.

get after it or someone else will..

Moral of the story:

Tell your startup idea to your taxi driver.

You might leave with something more valuable than just a ride

[Derek Dash @whoisderekdash]

“He who gets there first - or has more resources….wins.”

Wise words from a taxi driver called Rasit.

[Derek Dash @whoisderekdash]

This all started because I mentioned a #startup idea we’re cooking up in #Ghana

He also shared another story about Teena Marie and a song she produced about rebirth…but that’s a story for another day 😅

[Derek Dash @whoisderekdash]

Next morning, he woke up to the news: Isaac Hayes had died that very night.

Still gives me chills just thinking about it

[Derek Dash @whoisderekdash]

One night, he randomly decided to play Isaac Hayes’ full discography in his studio (he’s a big music fan)

As he drifted off, the music felt unusually alive - as if the performance was happening in the room

[Derek Dash @whoisderekdash]

On the way to the airport, my taxi driver kept remarking that I looked like Isaac Hayes 😅

Then he hit me with a story that gave me goosebumps…
