An interesting burst about Information, ignorance and the cure for it. We are who we are at whatever point by reason of the level of information and knowledge we have and the knowledge we have acted on. The Essence of this is to spark a conversation. Enjoy.

An interesting conversation that was short lived in the length of the episode is that of - the creative economy & money. Negotiation, Money and Pricing are very touchy points in the creative conversation. The essence of this is to create a real conversation. Enjoy

"Death is promised. I hope you comprehend your mortality." This episode is a story I hope I told with the level of compassion in my heart when the incident and everything that followed happened. Jay Z’s “young forever” plays while I write the description of the episode. Words fail me. Someone I know said “we are all hypocrites”, I don’t think we are - I think we are just human, that’s why there’s...

2023 for the hive mind that is my circle was a necessary year full of hurdles and striving. Lessons learnt and thoughts executed. The new year resolution is to be better, there’s always an opportunity to scale, there’s always a way to make your day make little more sense even through the personal occasional - permit me, fuck ups for some more than others. Above all, I’m happy I’m still standing ri...

In this episode on takes, Rems talks about imposter syndrome and dealing with being in the background for most of his life until growing recognition from friends and family because of recent happenings in his life about the validity of what they think he is. It's a conscious battle for him, to find his confidence in people's compliment. Rems is a Master's Degree Student and a Presenter...

The person behind the mic wants to remain anonymous for reasons best known to her. This is a take, a personal account of her thought process and her perspective on how she sees life positively in your opinion or not. After receiving this recording, I had to reach out to the person for a conversation and reassurance that there's a family of friends ready and available to support you at every turn....

On this episode of takes, Zeke aka don.tlo0katme talks about distractions. This conversation came up not too long before the recording. He is disgusted at the rate at which people who are supposed to be driven by their dreams come to terms very slowly with admitting that their dream are not going to happen, instead of putting in the work to ensure that it does. what a take! don.tlo0katme is an ama...

The fraud conversation is an ongoing and expanding one and this conversation I was lucky to have captured this with my phone recorder. The extent of this conversation shows how much and how far this going sideways in details not every one wants to hear so a couple parts were clipped off. This is a recording of a conversation between three friends and an acquaintance. This is an outsider's pers...

Off The Episode: When You Feel Your Filth, There’s Nothing To Be Ashamed Of. Rate the podcast on any listening platform.

Flowers To Who Made It Rain is a reminisce of everyone in my life who had contributed immensely, materially and otherwise to my growth and also watching the friend group share an overflowing amount of love every time we are together. On this episode, which I'd argue should be a little more articulate about the idea that "Friends Are Family". I talk about dependency, feeling undeservi...

I'd say the future is continually tasked with forward-thinking and full-front-focus. The past is meant to teach us the history of the times before now. Each has its place with respect to each other, one doesn't exist without the other. Rate the podcast on whatever listening platform, and enjoy. FULL EPISODE: "Why Boys Suffer: Your Dad Is Your BestFriend"

Do you think your dad is your best friend? Not that your opinion matters, respectfully but he is. There are exceptions to families of course, it depends on character and communication. That’s what makes a friend become a best friend. The episode title doesn’t have to be taken as literally as it’s seen but I hope you have friends in your parents. If we, the kids are the future, our parents are the...

When you feel your filth, there's nothing to be ashamed of - you just take responsibility and work on it. It's necessary to work on that part of us as we get older. I guess it just dawned on me as I turned a year older yesterday. Surrendering control and taking responsibility for who you are, what you are right now, your perspective on life, what you become, and what you want. Responsibility, not...

This episode is modeled after Kendrick Lamar’s “Mother I Sober” off his recent album - Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. It’s the most vulnerable song/album from a rapper, a rap album filtered through past pain, trauma, security and the lack thereof. This episode addresses a lack of security - Insecurity, there’s tendencies that the vulnerability about this topic as the episode goes further and deepe...

I realized today, that it’s 3 years since the endsars protest - 20.10.2020. In hindsight, it begs the question “What exactly were we fighting for?”, it’s not a question in mockery of the event but honestly, was it worth it? Do we still care about a revolution? From past experience, would another try at a revolution be worth it? Everyday we care less about where we live, "Get money Chale, get money...

Why We Suffer: Memories & Imaginations is an ongoing story of Pablo becoming picasso. Through life being a costume party and hitting a wall of memories and imaginations playing a role in his moving forward. The beginning of the original story of the great painter, Pablo Picasso is somewhat turbulent in comparison to the fictional character he’s been compared to by the host, but it’s similar regard...

The episode art is a collage by Silivio Severino. It’s a statement of how jewels - diamonds and precious stones are moved to the west off the capitalization of the poverty of the citizens in the African countries these jewels are present in. Does it have anything to do with the episode? No, but I don’t like that question, because you could ask the same of the sentences in the episode title before...

I struggled to put words together for this one, that's probably because the story is not clear yet. It's not hazy either, I'd prefer I see it in 4K before I can say everything I can about "the process of getting". Just as there's nothing new under the sun, there's no one blueprint for all. This is a tailor-made life and the more I get to understand that, the more I do...

Growth and Control co-habit. They increase next to each other, hence the need to get the handle of things as time goes on. "The Kids Are Closer To God" is a tale of how naivety and innocence allow for a level of submission for the support of a higher power. It makes sense why they say "God answers the prayer of little children", a huge part of the reason is in the episode. List...

This book review was recorded a month ago with LaneOnTheTrack - A Producer. We addressed a couple of excerpts from the book - The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F**k. This recording is for the most part a peek into a conversation between friends with the mic on and distributed via the podcast. I hope you listen and a book you may have before now been interested in. This is the last episode on the podc...

Dr. Martin as the cover speaks for itself. He’s a dream. Action and visualization - and he was such a handsome young man in his youth. “Going through it” only makes sense as a rite of passage when you’re dreaming, not when it’s some mundane thing behind the cause of every other random thing. Nobody conjures a dream, you just wake up with the memory of one and begin to follow through, That’s why I...
