The Kamga Tchassa Podcast

I still remember the conversations at IYA Buea. The chats about business and creation, while walking down Mile 17. The fast cars whizzing by as we detailed plans of taking over an unbridled world. The amazing thing about living in a country like Cameroon, is how much you can enjoy people who both look and sound like you, but who are from completely different worlds. Hamlet was one. He still remain...

There was a time when I was certain I would never want a job. Now, I know that's true. But there's a caveat too. In this episode, I share about my current day job and how my experience living in the US so far has molded my perceptive on jobs, work and my creative ambition.

Welcome to Episode 9 of the 100 Days of Podcast First chat: I was wrong about Facebook and Instagram. Second: I wrote about writing, using an Anime! Who knew that was possible? Third: Where do ideas come from? Link to the article "through the fire and flames": https://psiloveyou.xyz/someone-who-will-go-through-the-fire-and-flames-with-you-b0813a5e69c5?source=friends_link&sk=7195a39c11b6b17b815c44c...

Not doing so great today, but super proud of myself for making this episode. Day 8 of the 100 daily podcasts. Today is the shortest episode I've had to so far and I talk about inspiration and the need for consistency as creatives. Maybe one day I'll expand on this. But for now, I would love your take on the subject. Here's the TED talk I mentioned in the episode: https://youtu.be/86x-u-tz0MA Here'...

Today, I finally admit I'm in a funk. I may not go out of it soon, but it feels like a good first step to acknowledge it and try to get some perspective. When your livelihood or identity is tied to your mind, it can get murky and dangerous when the well runs dry to the pipe gets clogged. Here's the article I wrote on Medium: https://medium.com/@tchassakamga/3-things-to-do-when-you-just-cant-write-...

Thank you for listening to Episode 6 of the 100 Days of Podcasting. Today, is a rant/self-therapy session. Let me know what you think of my views, yeah? I wonder what makes friendships die. What keeps them. Whether the investment has to be balanced. When we should forgive. The end has a dark note to it ( let me know if you can pick it up) Subscribe to my YouTube Channel: http://bit.ly/kamga Subscr...

How do you deal with feedback when it's not good? How do you handle it when it comes from someone you admire? In today's episode, I share what I found from this article : https://hbr.org/2015/08/how-to-handle-negative-feedback Plus, I have a new intro and outro song. Wohoo! I explain why in the episode. This is episode 5 of the 100 daily podcasts. Subscribe to my YouTube Channel: http://bit.ly/kam...

I have a hard time dealing with feedback. Especially negative feedback. however, I have a learned a thing or two about how to navigate this space and how it can even become something that I can look forward to. Here's a friend link to the article I mentioned: https://medium.com/@tchassakamga/how-to-use-envy-to-build-skills-d86aa8eee4d6?source=friends_link&sk=6c28cc3ce0f6e58f07890dd3db60aeaa - Subs...

Episode 003 of the 100 daily podcasts. In today's episode, I talk about how a comment from my friend Leslie on my very first podcast episode, got me thinking about how humans change - or rather, if we ever do. What do you think?

Day 2 of the 100 daily podcast! Today, I finish the explanation I started yesterday and then share why I think Everyone is a Stranger. Especially with the world as it is right now. Maybe the death could have been prevented if we only knew how much we don't know about each other. Here's the article I published on Medium: https://medium.com/@tchassakamga/everyone-in-your-life-is-a-stranger-b801e5eb2...

That is the question this episode seeks to answer. As I was listening to it for some mild edits, I felt pretty comfortable that I was able to articulate the idea behind it. Today is June 1st 2020. This is episode 1 of 100. Will I be able to keep this up? Will I use what Daniel Bourke gave me as fuel to complete my journey? I know this is completely in my control. I am grateful to have you listen (...

Do you keep your word? Do you always do the things you say you're going to do? Good. To others, yeah? How about yourself? How often do you keep your promises to yourself? That book you've been meaning to read, that routine you had to build, that new diet you've been putting away? I think if we started having contracts with our selves, we would become more accountable and probably remain happier as...

Episode 13 - Redefining The Loving Creative Where do ideas come from? And how do they appear in the mind? Do they bulge like popping colors spreading through the brain like a happy virus? Or do they start as a drop of ink, spreading with Brownian motion through the whole container? The Loving Creative Podcast has come a long way since the first time I recorded my voice and put it online now, I fin...

Samuela Demanou is a bright Star. A few weeks after we met online, I gave her the nickname "special one" because of how her writing made me feel. We've been reading each other for years and finally got our longest conversation in the form of this podcast. In this episode, we talk about: *Her journey up until when she moved to Canada and how her life changed *How she had to pause her education for...

Emmanuel Nsanyui has never left Cameroon. At least, not physically. But his YouTube channel - Emma's Top 10- has over 25 000 subscribers around the world tuning in 2 to 3 times a week for his Educational content. Proof of his success can be seen in his 1 Million views (and counting) and the fact that he's able to cover his bills with his YouTube Ad revenue. Is it possible to build a thriving YouTu...

Leslie Meya caught my eye in 2013, before she caught my friendship. 6 Years later, we're still having fun together and now both experiencing America as immigrants. I came for love, and she came through a coveted route, by most Cameroonian standards. I find it funny that for the unrecorded hours Leslie and I have talked in the past, we had do this 'short' episode. This episode was recorded the week...

Elena Tucker and I became friends through Medium. I found an article she'd written about her city--Aurora, CO-- which also happens to be...MY CITY ( at the time anyway). A few clicks away, and on a beautiful Thursday afternoon ( or was it Tuesday?) we had the first of many coffees. She has the most hilarious stories steeped in her devotion to her family and spiritual journey. The first time we met...

Brenda Herrera Moreno is an amazing person. This was our longest conversation and the first we've had without our mutual friends. I had such a great time listening to her story and her take on the world she's building. Favorite quotes from the conversation: "It's a very risky narrative when we think about refugee resettlement only as assimilation or only upward mobility""The work of anti-oppressio...

You may not have read my article on Medium, so, I'll read it for you. Nifty huh? This Thursday episode sets the stage for the discussion with my wife about how it was for each of us to deal with our relationship before I moved to the USA. Here is the article in question so you can read along: https://psiloveyou.xyz/the-one-thing-long-distance-doesnt-prepare-you-for-f1c02e57f29e?source=friends...

Daniel "Danny" Mazur considers himself a born-again creative. This episode of the podcast takes us on an emotional journey from the time he became an accidental poet, his year of mania, and the first iteration of what we see today as Soul Stories ( https://www.soulstoriesdenver.com/).  In his own words:  "My name is Danny Mazur and I hail from the great state of O-HI-O. In 2013 I moved t...

I was blessed to spend a great time with my friend Danny Mazur on his podcast-- The Soul Stories Podcast. I helped record and produce the first season and got to meet with amazing humans and hear really powerful stories. Danny and I met through the monthly Open Mic event organized by Stain'd Arts (https://www.staindmagazine.com/). The Liminal Event in which I read my story was a collaboration betw...
