Moving to Alberton turned me into a hillbilly. It’s all beer, biltong and bukkies over here

Some people live to be inspired but won’t ever do anything with that energy
July 1, 2023 at 4:44 PM
Is this it? Is that why we’re all here? ☹️

Who’s writing the playbook for African creators?

I didn’t reply “tomorrow”
Day 4 of avoiding the email intro my best friend made to a therapist I probably need. I pray I have the courage to reply tomorrow

Everyone that’s ever thought they can solve systemic issues from the “inside” has eventually been corrupted by the system they rallied against

BlueSky is my Twitter Circle

Community is the new innovation / disruptive. It means someone is trying to pretend that they are doing / building something they don’t actually understand. But everyone’s using it so why not jump on?

It’s not an ecosystem. It’s a collection of individuals all pretending to sing the same song while trying to make sure the audience knows they sing the best

You either die a hero or live long enough to be a motivational speaker who pretends to still be running a business so everyone believes they can do it too

Is hanging out on BlueSky to avoid Tweeting something reckless a thing? 🤔

If you see me on BlueSky pretend you don’t know me from Twitter 💙

People forget how much you mean until they in a position to lose it

If startups are experiments on figuring out as many ways that something doesn’t work until it does - and not running out of money in the process, African founders have it the hardest. No room to fail, very little support and no one wants to bet on you to figure it out in the process

Having a job is great. Having a career is better. Having a purpose aligned mission that serves commercial interests while fulfilling you as a person is the most special and rare thing.

There’s something about founders you can sense. A conviction. A determination. A obsession. At a level that most people don’t have for what they are creating, building or working on.

I’m trying to figure out what it takes to build great things but I’m also trying to understand if I’m good enough to do so

Making life as productive as possible doesn’t feel like what’s natural to who I am and I’m struggling in a world that demands we be ON 24/7
June 27, 2023 at 5:50 PM
I’ve been overwhelmed since March 2020. That was also incidentally was the last time I felt like myself

You can’t protect people from themselves
June 25, 2023 at 4:10 PM
Absolutely none of it matters and if it does it’s only until people move onto the next thing
June 25, 2023 at 3:52 PM
Every now and again you need to remind yourself that nothing matters
June 25, 2023 at 3:51 PM
People who are controlled by their desires can’t be trusted
June 25, 2023 at 3:47 PM
Our need for control is killing us
