About this listen

Life is about experiences, you can't hold on to everything ~S.A.A

I've receive so much from life and so the intention of this podcast is to let out those experiences with the hopes of inspiring at least one person. I bring to you a labour of love on my humble beginnings, relationships, career and as an entrepreneur.

If at any point my H-FACTOR rears it ugly head just act like you didnt hear it. LOL

*H-factor: A typical manifestation usually observed among the Yorùbá people — an ethnic group of southwestern and North-central Nigeria as well as southern and central Benin, together known as Yorùbáland. Examples of H-factor manifestations include saying 'hegg' instead of 'egg,' or saying 'amburger,' instead of 'hamburger.

*Village people: The phrase “Village People”to me means naysayers, evildoers, haters, narrow minded, judgemental people etc.,

I intend to have fun and sometimes cringe to the listening of my own voice but still get the message out.

It’s already looking like a challenging territory but no one grows in their comfort zone. So, welcome to “Not for my village people podcast” my 2023 way to disrupt my comfort zone and learn some new lessons as I progress, learn and improve.

  • Ep51 - Who is your 1st call? - Finding the People Who See You
    Jan 10 2025

    Who’s your first call when life happens the good, the bad, or the in-between? In this episode, i dive into the complexities of loneliness, connection, and the masks we wear every day. Can we truly be ourselves around others, or are we hiding behind what society expects of us?

    We’ll talk about the power of meaningful relationships, the value of solitude, and why the appearance of extroversion doesn’t always mean true connection. From reconnecting with old friends to finding peace within yourself, this episode invites you to reflect on what it really means to feel seen, heard, and understood.

    Let’s take a moment to break through the noise, embrace vulnerability, and explore how to cultivate deeper, more authentic connections with others and with yourself and not put the burden of 1st calls on just one person.
