P: 06.09.23

¦ When was your last time having a moment to yourself with one you love?

- Since I have none as my better half as spouses are called, my time on and off work is spent same. I'm always doing something to keep me productive. In essence, it's been a long time since I had real fun sans thinking about my worries because with the life I lead you don't know happiness. I'm a bore for ladies and same for guys, so, I've learnt to find fun in my hard life alone and I now enjoy being me more...dp

¦ Whom are you envying for their easy life right now?

- With everyone not having it easy in my circle currently, the only ppl I truly and honestly envy are pastors, politicians and their cronies, and girlfriends. These are living life soft unlike us the hard workers. Pastors are receiving tithes daily nowadays, politically connected chow taxpayers money unashamedly without any accountability, while girlfriends are pampered by the afforders of life who mostly are corrupt. Who can in their good state of mind not mind giving someone's child an allowance for just being beautiful? But, maybe I won't understand because I don't have any to. But then, I'm me here with nothing and might as well just shut up...dp

¦ Do you think there're ppl who envy you out there?

- It goes without doubt yes there're. The fact that I'm doing this now is a thing worth envy to someone. To be envious is human nature. I can't envy others and not expect others not me. Who and what I am not an easy feat for many and for that I am sure there's a case for them to envy. How many ppl do you have in your circle who owns a business to start with? In your family? The industries that I've ventured into also are BEIs (Barred Entry Industries) and some highly blocked and for that added grounds to be envied. In short, yes, there's a lot to envy in me and am proud of that to be honest with you...dp

¦ What is the most difficult thing to you when beaten by a competitor?

- A tough thousand times question. I always ask myself what wrong I did and if whether it's me or the TEAM that failed? It's better though if I get to lose to a worthy opponent who'll be mature about their win. Thing is, in life there's no permanent win and each day giving you new chances to new challenges. There's no need to ponder too long in loss. Count your cost and scout where you have a gap to recoup and slot in, and that's the way of life and survival. Again, find lessons in your losses and come the next round capitalize on those notes taken from the last lesson...dp

¦ How do you communicate your own failures to your subordinates?

- This might sound like a death note to some, but with me a normal undertaking in that I always bear all for everyone to see. My leadership style not ideal for a host of leaders that I shared with. Leaders built big walls around themselves and fail to reach out for help and support unto themselves when they desperately are in need of. With me I ask ones I know excel in whatever I'm hitting a brick wall in and willingly get help in real time. So, whether I'm right or wrong, my TEAM gets to know about my challenges and sometimes come up with solutions collectively. It lifts off the weight upon your shoulders as the boss barrier gets destroyed and with your accessibility make it easy for your reach. If only leaders could learn to be human enough, many industrial actions we see wouldn't be experienced as the lines of communication would be readily available. It's risky I know yet safer than risking the load carried by the lone wolves of industries. Be accessible to your subordinates yet exclusive for outsiders...dp

¦ With that said. Do you consider self a captain in your industry?

- For this question I'd rather remain stoic to it. Trust me, I don't do this for accolades but for recognition by my TEAM, and if they perceive me as such, well I thank them but not how I fancy myself interestingly. I'm loving what I do as it fulfills me how it propels me in serving my purpose and executing my executive vision. But then, how do you view me?...dp

¦ Haha, yes I unfortunately see you as one. I do. And, early retirement plans in sight?

- An early question to be exact. I feel am still too much in my early morning start to my career and as such not relevant to me. I plan to explore more instead and to retire not sure it ever will cross my mind any day soon because I am late in age though new in this. It took long building myself for this...dp

¦ Office romance. Your take on it?

- Dating a colleague isn't a problem as long as the couple is professional and respectful of their lives with other colleagues. I know breakups are bad and bringing out toxicity in others, but won't mind it if it ain't affecting productivity at all. Being against it counterintuitive as love always finds a way to fight back and your aggressive stance against it a sure way to losing talent acquired. Let things go and it will be. Some marriages stem out of the working environment, so, why want it to be otherwise with your workplace. Not believing in it not saying it's right to fight it...dp

¦ LGBTQI+ vs tolerance in the TEAM. How hard or easy is it to deal with in your case?

- The 3rd gender generation a global phenomenon that shouldn't be making headlines anymore as we have been with it for some time now. However, in the workplace it is still a problem to uproot the height of hate and intolerance by some of the employees. I myself don't have any issues with the 3rd gender in its wideness but upbraid those who are them, forcing their lifestyle on other members in the workplace. We all're free to be but not saying we shove our behavioral patterns on others, it's unacceptable. Do you and let others do themselves as you do self...dp

¦ As always, thanks. Been a pleasure hosting you as usual.

P: 07.07.23

¦ What was your last chat on social media before coming in here?

- know love from lust. It might be the one last difference your heart needs to separate from the mind...dp

¦ Why's that so?

- Everybody longs to belong to someone they love and so is anyone in business, yearning for a partner whom is good faithed, thoughtful, resourceful, considerate, and honorable. In daily dealings we get to meet devoted devils pretending to be good personalities to partner in business with and end up regretting because of their true colors showing later on their characters. So, it's good to know how to sift bad from the good same as in a romantic relationship. Check the tell tales and compromise not on what you want and not want...dp

¦ Your feeling on compromise?

- I just don't do it coz I know that I deserve better in my life, whether socially or otherwise. Compromise is doing that which you're against for the joy and benefit of another over your own. I do what goes with my principles, that is it. If you want to do your happiness, cut compromise in your life, done...dp

¦ Do you care to worry about what people's perceptions are about you?

- Where I are agewise yes I shouldn't as advised, but livelihoodwise I should, otherwise my bitterness will be a sweetener for my nemeses. The world of business is a different type of beast to just take its bite for a play lick, it'll put you down flat if you don't respect your public conduct. A lot have been through that before, so, have to be cautious. There's no due rehearsal for downfall, it seriously happens...dp

¦ What makes life easier in the life of a businessperson?

- Having a firm grip on the fact that you aren't a celebrity but a career person just like any other in theirs. Doing business is a long time commitment that's full of sacrifices. There is pressure from within and outside of it, so, soldier on with your head held high regardless of what may be said and done to you. Also, family support and financing life with a life partner that bought into your dream for your vision. If the sole you chose to burn your sleeps beside opts for east whilst you west, know that you are doomed for good...dp

¦ Whom do you turn to in down times?

- Definitely not your omni one, but my Consultry. They keep me going in times of darkness, gives me ground to surface my re-emergence, say all the right sweet dream nothings that you can never of me, show me ups in the eye of downs, and best of all, they take their time to make their mosts make the best of me you all love to look at admirably and listen to. I am no man fuller sans them and also not a man comfortable in worry about me unfortunately, I'm that typa man if you know what I mean. I do the solo caring for others and the Consultry does the minding of my back as a collective. Any economic hero should have one...dp

¦ Are you egoistic?

- Every man as far as I know should be, as yes I am. It's my ego that brought me this far and am proud of how much I had done through my ego...dp

¦ In relations, are you the quitter or the quitted?

- 90% of my life have been spent as a leader and 10% as a follower, as such, most of the time I'm being the 1 quitted on and under abnormal circumstances quitting on people. As a leader, to quit is publicly depicted as though a sign of weakness shown by such leader, but in essence a sign of self-care. There're several reasons why I quit and are personal, like my ego tramping, me deroled, dealing with a promise breaker, distrust, lack of parity in giving-off 1self, among others. In short, I rarely quit but I do...dp

¦ Ego tramping and deroling. Can you quickly unpack them for me?

- With ego, not much really to say as already indicated that any person and a leader especially, needs that and unapologetically so. Derole is a space or state rather where you feel the character you are is diluted by various languorous elements like emotional attachment, success despondency, and situational belonging. Some of us don't want to be cared for as it's anomalous, as by nature been used to caring for other people before even being in position of leadership. Thus but not implying that it's burdensome being a leader. Being vulnerable and too carelessly open to others, personally a heavy undertaking that scares the best of me, that in the long run to have me undergo convalescence that requires personality patching to fully regain character intactness. So, anything that's too good for ones like me is hard to harbor and fully embrace. It's a conditional disorder I must say, which I have observed and picked up common a pattern in a lot of a few leaders I interact with and those also with I've encountered, more so those who've been trained to lead. By virtue, most are locked in a cautious spirit mode, with unsafe visiting as a guilt trip reminder every time we try to let go of our imperfections guard. I, myself, don't enjoy it but gradually becoming more me outside of safe, though got to admit, a long day still to pass...dp

¦ Last question. How do you sell yourself?

- An easy question that's but tough to answer. I guess I sell myself sans a marketing strategy. Being me less than too much I am, does the good for me...dp

P: 27.05.23

¦ What do you aspire for in your career life?

-success in my business ventures, to make me a billionaire...dp

¦ When did it all start?

-from high school I always wanted to be that one. I learnt from then that in order for me to make it, I have to be useful to the believers and useless to the users, and, to date, have been though my wrong tendencies of kindness derailed my course. But, what my derailleurs don't know is that I now see through them better and now stronger for my vision, so, reset is where I am after my restoration to where it all started...dp

¦ How many enemies do you have?

-enemies, none I recall, but rivals. What is the use of enemies? I always ask myself. I hear they're good for keeping you on your toes, but can't procrastination be that to you? A weirdo I am I know, but to ascribe to formulated natures ain't in my being, I do me and push me to those who are my surrounders. Having another project in life called enemy, is a waste of your precious time. Creators who set pace and trends, and visionary leaders don't make provision for space for such, they're more concerned about their next big thing for the rest to follow, not follow up on what others do. If there is any, then I feel for their wasted energy on negative effort that pays not...dp

¦ Why see enemies like that?

-trust me, enmity is a concerted con brio congress of divisions in human relations, that is designed as a con crud to any union of soles. As such, doing you in your lane lets that bad energy pass you by, so, be that strong for self and yours. Again, enemies are found where weaklings are made to feel your character is too expensive for their easily intimidated cheap selves. Be aware of such patterns in your path...dp

¦ What are your famous words for the day?

-fear the taint of freedom for your liberty...dp

P: 18.04.23

¦ In concepts of life. How many philosophies do you have that you live by?
- I have more than a sponge squeeze in fact. My psychology revolves around 7 philosophies to be exact, and my prime one is; live to learn, and let live off your learned value...dp

¦ To many concepts of life, which stands out more for you?
- the elements of life. There's a vast array of intellection on the topical concept, and that, makes it most interesting for my intuition, thinking how each concept that you may recall stemming from them...dp

¦ What do you respect about researches?
- nothing much except the fact that they're used by master manipulators to lie about almost anything and shift the statistical pace of truth shaping as it was known before and instil in the mind of the target a designed thinking that's in line of support of their latest narrative direction. The fertile propaganda infestation laced in compiled research reports, makes me not heed to anything of them as almost all of them are carried out under strategic banners of agenda nudging sponsors, and thus making them channel tailored for raking in the end of populating any that's released. They are an infective and intentional tools of fear, control, division, perception, dissuasion, and any many other means of confusion that's aimed at disempowering the already less powered and disenfranchised masses through disinformation and misinformation for gains of a select few...dp

¦ The 10% of the 1%. Your take on that?
- those are the ultra supreme of the elites as far as I understand it. They're the real problem of world peace order in that they are the ones responsible for 99% of all the crises in the world. Trouble is, they're organized and are families, using popular figures as their faces for the invisible rule of power they are. That makes me care less about the representatives' faces and more worried about the invisible omni-hegemon powers behind their influence, that commits all the atrocities against human kind beyond race dynamics. A myth by the theorists I heard it said, but I say; each one to their own set of knowledge base...dp

¦ Who's your source of intellection?
- it's not about who, but rather what. The thing about me is, there's no point you'll find me idle. It's either I'm reading, pyra-surfing the web, writing, watching certain programs, listening to something, talking to someone, observing specific situation; and yaah, those are my sources. I now join discussion groups after cutting self off book clubs as tired motivational and fictional reviews aren't for me honestly. Basically, those literally are what I call my infinitesimal knowledge sourcing...dp

¦ To you, are role models vital?
- that depends on where the person is headed in life. If your progress to growth in success is an ongoing project, yes. But, in business, you need more than that in order to make it through, and that's a life coach and mentor...dp

¦ What's most profound to this day to you?
- baseless factuality and no comment. You can't shake me away from that. If you here such, just know there's trouble from the corner any is milled. I have come to realize how outselling both statements are to truth in the question than the lie protected in the utterer's answer...dp

P: 07.03.23

¦ Do you believe in a plan or prayer and why?

-In fact, in both. Simply because of my belief system which stems from my roots and culture instilled in me...dp

¦ Whom do you praise for your achievements when alone?

-My self, in how I listened to my inner voice and resolved to responding and at times reacting to situations of difficulties in my life. The choices I made thus far in spirituality, traditionalism, legality, academics and socially to many factors that life puts us through in shaping the characters we end up being with matched personalities per the personage one is...dp

¦ What's your solacer when you're down?

-I'd rather not say in answering that as it naturally bears the potential to open up a dialogue that'll be hard for me to have control over or worse, lack the strength to deal with and cause more unnecessary spirit exhausting speculations about me because people have their opinions over the context of the content they consume...dp

¦ Whom do you plan around?

-Myself, my family and my tiny circle, for the greater good of others coz at the end of it all it's not for me and them alone but by me with them for others...dp

¦ Does marriage have a bearing on success in business life?

-That's a subjective one. By contrast it does. There're opportunities that're tailored specifically for the married and reasons entailed thereto pegged to many fragments that's to one simply exclusion for persuasion to be, but then again, not a topic of now to fault as it's part of the system, something the 4%ers can't win over with the 95%ers and the 1%ers are sure of, so, unworthy of dignifying its day's significance...dp

¦ What's your take on faking it till you make it?

-It works, therefore no objection to it as today fake is the norm of note for just about anyone that gets celebrated. Society cares less as long as it entertains or appeal to their taste. The only time we take note is when the fake aspect comes to light after there been an eventuality that exposed the reality against the purported assertion. But for me personally, I don't ascribe to the notion...dp

¦ Do you believe life has a design and how if yes?

-Yes, it is, it has a design hence there're stats, ID systems, etc. the reason there're many religions that cause conflicts which are beneficial to the arms manufacturers and churches, the reason there's rhetoric in politics is due to that, the financial redlining that's slowly suffocating a specific demographic a result of that, the pattern is just everywhere you turn your head around. Look at the ideal concept conjugal union has turned out to be, a commercialized mammoth institution that's easy to bind self in but costly and tiringly messed up for unbind, life's periodic coffers raising scams like pandemics and economic crises, there're lots to tap into that makes life a design altered from one era to the next. Me here with you another classic example of life's design of modern times model; content creation for a specific agenda that I don't even know if I am it's item or just an almost of it, but have to do in the name of profiling we're bombarded with even though we never care to interrogate. I can take the whole day going on about it and but yes again...dp

P: 06.02.23

¦ What is life according to you?

- To another it might be defined otherwise, but to me life is a status of existence in an organism as a spirited entity which with there's an aspect of social, career, private and public to its being as a human to fulfil its mandate to the fullest by serving its purpose...dp

¦ Are you in control or in charge of your life?

-Subjectively divisive yet remarkably important to discuss, but then, being in control is ultimate for any living entity though not entirely possible and being in charge saying one is under placement. As such, I'm still on the mode of being in charge and so hard miling the dominion hierarchy for a better rank of control...dp

¦ How addictive is it living your life?

- Yoh! It ain't tough but not easy being me that's for sure. And addictive, yes it is, got to admit, seeing how a figure of interest I am to others. You have to start hard in life so that halfway through you inspire onlookers as a target of aspiration by how forged your way of life is. Having me in another's life a spark drug I can extend my assurance to you. I am in love with what I have turned out to be and grateful for who I chose for myself to be, that's today so addictive to live as. And true, it's indeed addictive being genuinely me and living my life authentically...dp

¦ How do you describe your life?

- Boring at first but interestingly addictive in the end.
- Full of mystery yet simplest for many.
- Curiosity filled, knowledge based, and full of love...dp

¦ Your ingredients of life as a leader?

-First, leaders are in honest fact above all else, initiators. Fulfill your purpose and greater shall be your chances of accomplishing your vision, however uneasy it may. Best you know yet that, and this you can even look around for results of what I'm to say, coz business leadership's attraction is overwhelmingly breathtaking but its taste an avalanche of bitterness not even the highest paid M.B.A. program may prep you for. It's tough out there. Initiate.
- Different similarities a commonal track. What makes you makes me, as a leader. Differ, being same.
- Learn to respect the fact that morality a killer of reality in sincerity, hence my arch-animal spirit is the elephant. I never forget to mourn each and every passing situation no matter how good or bad, for the lesson it gave for growth. Cage morality.
- And lastly, let your leadership trail be free of bind campaigns. Be the reason the slave master's bond with the debt master is weakened. Own yourself by freeing your name from debt trap by waking up with the purpose of solidifying your liberty position. Live never like a king in your castle's foundation with an exposed bed. Build walls up first then live in it as your fortress. No indebted leader gets respected as they have no control. Be debt free...dp

¦ Does flexibility relate to your life?

- To some degree it does in that I never stay on one subject for long, never do a single task at once, and never rejected diversity...dp

¦ Your black book advise on anything in life?

- It has to be to never invest in a sole proprietor or even a company with a sole incorporator in it, such a business a cost should you wake with them no more...dp

¦ What's that question that's to you never answered?

- What is the true essence of leadership? An answer to that will clear the air on its significance. The bloated fuss around it makes me feel there's a social ellipsoid reaping rewards from the public's perturbation...dp

¦What's that one thing you feel the world should know about life?

- For me, the world needs to be reminded that;
_ life is there to be lived.
_ life can never be replaced.
_ life gives second and third take going forth without reversal.
_ life is never short or long but instead naturally neutrally timed.
_ life can never be lived for you, live yours...dp

   ¦ Lastly,,,your view on one's self ending of life?

- A creation gifted to the liver life is, but a burden to manage and responsibly sustain for others, as such, pointing a finger not a profitable feeling to the reward it is to one due in virtue of what the choice they made with theirs. In so saying, meaning that, blame neither in how they decide with theirs so given. Lest we celebrate one's demise with it, best we observe the reflection of what's afforded to sight in learn for the betterment of ours in manage. Thank you...dp

P: 16.12.22

¦ What is a team to you?

- TEAM is a group of unified diversity of soles that through their knowledge, skills, or set criterion conforth, share the same vision and values, and are on a mission to create an aspiration to those who're onlooking...dp

¦ How do you keep a team together?

- That though tough is done by consistent capacitation, common effort contribution, alignment monitoring, leadership and support resources availing, and open recognition, with no separatist criticism or tendencies, ageism tactics, sexism narrative, but fair opportunity presenting with merit mated to aspiration versed...dp

¦ What qualities are a top must in your team?

P: 30.08.22

¦ What does showing up mean to you?

- I don't know if it applies solely to me but is about being there all the time whether it's happening or not. It goes into the way one looks at themselves and the world in terms of direction in life, in opportunity towards their hope for progress, in their will to be found at the key position at the right moment, in them availing selves to the entities that they chose to dedicate their all to, in them standing up for their growth for others to learn and earn success through them; showing up is a true commitment to your vision and life story...dp

¦ Who should show up?

- Any other person who feels it's their duty to get up and do something with their lives or out of their selves. It doesn't pick and choose...dp

¦ Why is it important to show up?

- Showing up is a forth bringing of your mettle, it says a lot about ones character than meets the eye...dp

¦ Does it make part of one's culture?

- It sure does, and very much so. If you're the type that goes out to learn out of every encounter it's a culture possibility...dp

¦ What shouldn't be confused with showing up?

- Showing off. Going out there to represent doesn't say anything about being all out to make others feel your overachieved self, it's about people's experience of your humility, encouraging spirit, and putting out a statement of positivity and possibility. Showing off is about disrespect and rubbing salt in others' wounds, it has nothing to do with feel good vibes and invoking "you too can" type of mentality. With whom you are, build others not destroy them...dp

¦ Are there any rules of showing up?

- Either than being there yourself with a purpose, I don't know of any rules to you showing up...dp

¦ Upsides and downsides to showing up?

- Let's start with the downsides to it. The danger of showing up too often seems to create a picture that your presence isn't that important anymore and people start undermining you, also being there too much at times you end up stretching self for people who mean less to your being, growth and success, again it creates a notion that you aren't having anything to do with your life. The upsides are that you buy self enough favours by being there for others, your visibility means more opportunities you avail yourself to, and lastly you help self emotionally in that you gain peace of mind, fulfillment and contentment about self, naturalistic benefits that aren't apparent to human eye but innately felt. Do show up, but know why, how to, whom for, and when not, be with strong affirmation as to why not...dp

P: 05.07.22

¦ What can you tell the next person about a dream?

-Not every dream is achievable, and not every dream is impossible. But, follow them, no matter how many they're...dp

-Dream big but be responsible for the hard work...dp

-Dreams are there for us to own and implement...dp

-Dream it not for long, for it has the tendency to escape if you become too familiar with no action on it...dp

¦ What kind of a leader do you want to be led by and why?

-I want to be led by someone who's a direct opposite of what I am. I met a lot of aspirational ones up my alley but none was there as yet. The challenge with lead position is depth, and most lack that. If you don't have that, for me, you ain't there to can have me confidently call them my leader...dp

¦ What is a perfect person to you?

-I believe everyone is perfect, just that it takes imperfections to make one do better to arrive at their best...dp

¦ What's your advice on investment?

-What I've sadly learnt over the years of my trials and errors is, never take just anyone's money as investment. People who aren't understanding business will mess up with your pace and strategy by unjustifiably unreasonable demands that will derail your path. Money isn't everything, but an enabler of magic to happen, see it as that and you'll see those you approach differently. Take your time with whomever you target to be guided by their tone to grasp how ripe they are for your relationship with them. Money comes after the relationship established, make no mistake about that. Don't make your relationship with money, start with the one who's in possession of it, that's the right foundation for an investment partnership journey...dp

¦ Your golden gate rule on competition?

-Drop a bomb that leaves no shrapnel; if you're to go in for a smart kill...dp

P: 18.06.22

¦ What do you know of an enemy?
-An enemy is anyone who fits the description of a person who is against your life, will, progress, joy, thoughts, and anything by hostility towards you or harm to you. Such a person or group or unit will not rest until they see their set mission through...dp

¦ What do you do to an enemy?

-Deal with them by either fighting back, muting them, avoiding them, or any way that's possible to destroy them. What an enemy will do to you is destroy you and your any possible resources to your support base before finishing you off, so, as such, you too shouldn't go soft on yours and best make them rue the day they chose bidding on your picking to go against. There's no beauty in war, and but there's bitter pleasure to draw out of it, and there's that good to the bad it generally is, and that's when you walk away emerged the victor. Make never a mistake about that, for that's the nature of it, no kid gloves 'cause an enemy punches hard with many combinations to smoke screen you. If one is labelled as such, be sure to play it bigger than them...dp

¦ Of what use can an enemy be to you?

-There are ways to gain from using an enemy, believe you me. One of them is by turning them into the example of what you're capable of to showcase to others to refer to should they contemplate on going against you...dp

¦ Can you grow without one?

-You must be an angel then. None has ever escaped from that natural trap. You have to just have one, there's just no way. It's a sign that you're a person and co-existing...dp

¦ Is it safe to work with an enemy?

-It ain't fully though depends on who is the enmity creator and who the respondent is unfortunately. First, you know their stance with you, and secondly is it gives you an opportunity to delay their attacks as you encounter closely and direct unlike when the subject is afar. A direct enemy works against you openly and that's good, and a discrete enemy is dangerous as you don't see them come. Truth be told, it's always better when you're the enemy as it's less tiring. Be not lied to, it's a non-stop job being an enmity respondent 'cause you never know when the enemy might attack as it's in their hands not yours. Being in control as the respondent is plainly a myth...dp

¦ Are enemies important or not?

-An enemy is more relevant than is important for one to have a friend. I tend to like an enemy than a friend because they never pretend and will never give you the joy of being in your space. They make you stronger and bolder, and those are the ingredients you're more in need of for your growth and thrive in life...dp

¦ Does rivalry equate to enmity?

-No, they aren't the same. We can be rivals and still be friends while a foe can't wait to take you out, so, enmity is extreme and dangerous. It's fun to be in rivalry but a thrill to be in enmity. More of late is the fact of gender. Men's touch differ when compared to women's, and also is the attention given to men's bad vibes, playing down women's. Rivalry is most practiced by us men, whilst in the case of women it's enmity most of the time because they're capable of passionate hate, especially on the limited resource that the opposite gender is. How a woman fights for opportunity is more fierce than it is in man...dp

¦ Do you create enemies or you wait for them?

-Where there aren't any, it's important that you create them. But, that's if you know the importance of one in your life. You can't leave your life in relaxation all the time, you need someone to make you alert and ever fighting for your personal brand to stand and story to be heard, and that's the job of an enemy. The good of created enemies is that they indirectly become your extras on your payroll in that an enemy keeps you motivated and hardworking, while also helping you to be aware of your surroundings. Forget not that only an enemy takes away your pleasure of sleep but boosting you capabley to think harder, so, create worthy ones...dp

      ¦  Why answer in second person?

-That's because I don't do this in my first person, but rather in capacity of alta ego. But that, saying not that I am distancing myself from the responsibility of whatever action I advance to my nemesis all the time. I own it all 'cause defending myself is all part of the system that makes wholly me. So, mess never with me, for I capacitate my resources when I go in. The aim is to not solely disarm the enemy, but ultimately to paralyze them. That's second nature to me, hence it's in my third person...dp

¦ What's your warning about enmity?

-Choose your enemy carefully before you battle. Be cautious, but not obvious. Remember; it's either you or your enemy, there's no rehearsal at the cemetery to come back from for your real performance. It's that serious...dp

¦ How can you defer enmity?

-That's simply by letting others shine over you. But then, can you afford that?...dp

¦ Ever heard of loud leadership?
-Yes, I do. It's about being in every space of the entity and having a say in almost every move to each aspect thereof...dp

¦ Are you naturally a loud person?
-Audibly no, but in presence yes...dp

¦ What can't you do in loud leadership?
-You can't force yourself on employees or partners...dp
-You can't be right all the time, listen to others...dp

¦ How effective can loud leadership be?
-In an entity where you deal with many new comers, or where you have employees who have a challenge with accepting you, any environment where extreme presence or supervision and force is needed, etc, that's where it'll be effective. My problem with it however, is the presence vs visibility with it. When you monitor, you don't need any of the two but rather needing them both plus supervision for it to be effective...dp

¦ Who's best to implement loud leadership?
-Leaders in spaces like correctional facilities and learning institutions...dp

¦ Is there a need for it in today's world of a leader?
-Yes, dependent on the sector you're in, but in many circles not necessary...dp

¦ The danger of this leadership style?
-Fierce resistance to its implementor...dp

¦ How do you learn?

-For me it's in two ways, with the first way being in two ways too, which is through my own mistakes, and the other is in the mistakes that others commit. Of both though all important, my most valued lessons are those committed by me as I have a full set of errors that I go back to for a retake than with another's as I don't have a collection of their errors to reflect on for a retake. And my second way of learning is by reading, watching, listening and discussions. The best method in my second way of learning is discussing a host of topics from current affairs to social and corporate ills as it unpacks all the info you've gathered...dp

¦ Whom do you learn from?
-I learn from anyone and anything...dp

¦ What for you, is the biggest of all mistakes about learning?

-That's quite obvious I guess. Wanting to learn from single facet sources...dp

¦ What do you believe about learning?

-Learning without boundaries. Sitting here with you I am busy learning new things that but can't form part of my skills set yet important in building my knowledge base. What we need to know about learning is what we are doing it for, how to do it and where to use the knowledge. Also, not everything you learn will be useful, but yet important. Learning is complex and expensive, though that dependent on one's school of thought anyway. The error we tend to make in this day is the notion of monetization and its impractical obsession to it. People will tell you to learn for your earn, but fully in know of the fact that not everything is sellable and not everyone is capable of selling, for everyone's a material of some field that's aligned to their purpose. If only we can learn to unlearn the unlearnables and start learning for knowledge first, that we'll break down later for ways to our growth shall we see the true impact of learning and its benefits...dp

¦ What do you look for in learning?

-There's a lot of stuff to look for but most of all is empowerment from information acquired before it be categorized, and also overall growth from new knowledge gained...dp

¦ What's your secret about learning?

-I don't think there's a secret that I can correctly say it categorically as a secret to learning except going in empty headed and open minded, and it should be about you for you first before it be about and for the next...dp

 ¦ To lead or to follow?

- Both actually 'cause every leader is a follower. Leadership is a path than is a career, hence my answer...dp

¦ What is your definition of leadership?

- Leadership is taking responsibility for self and your thoughts put to action before of others, being there for others and things no matter how good or bad they are for you, it is about doing things right by you and others, being in control of what is under you to manage, to lead is about unapologetically sticking to your every decision and choice and listening to the voice of reason and wisdom beyond their class, race, gender, age, geography and otherwise. Leadership is allowing flexibility with rigidity in check. Leadership is your background, your now and your future with balance to every of your next step to take without conforming to anyone's standards other than your own that are shaped by your aligned purpose to its vision. Leadership is about everything you are to those in it with you before to those in follow, is about acknowledging your highs equally as your lows, about loving openly and hating discreetly so as to motivate everyone, is about saying sorry and thank you with any reservations whatsoever, is about being boldly you...dp

¦ What has leadership taught you?

- Out of the leaf of my small time experience in lead, I can safely say never play it safe but rather plan for safety, the position of leadership is unpredictable and as such should guard more those near you for they mostly are the ones who will be more than ready to sacrifice those close to you for their pole position with you. When you herd from the front your back is exposed and vulnerable to stabs, so, herd from behind to save your back in watch how they stab each other, it's key yet not well shared...dp 

¦ What can be your shocking statement about leadership?

- If your balls cringe at the first squeeze, go back home for you need rubber balls to absorb the tightening with ease...dp

¦ Anything to say out of turn on leadership?

- Leadership ain't called the hot seat for nothing; and if you enjoy it, then you are special...dp

¦ Your most hated leadership phrase?
-Monkey see, monkey do...dp

¦ What qualifies you as a leader?

- Yoh, that,, yaah,,,I guess the time spent on upskilling myself brought out depth that others felt as maturity they can busk with their talents for, other than by default qualification as a vision bearer...dp

¦ What's there hidden about leadership?

- Nothing much as there has been a lot to say already about the subject and what I can add is that you need to allow for self to be a fool at times for your success. Be smart enough to overlook some tricks in woke falls for them, as long as they are not traps. Have tolerance and timing to cement your incognito wit...dp

¦ Your take on leadership sell-by date?

- For me it is about self: where to after reaching the pinnacle? Leading is first an innate affair before it be external, and it takes the sole to ask self hard questions regarding their position and potential, not anyone outside. Sell-by date is a measure by others on your leadership style, expected results and their interests before it really be about you. So, my take on it is tailored on the leader self saying I don't have the drive and energy for pushing any further. None can feel how you feel, and what you envision they can't carry themselves forth, and if the desire ain't there anymore then the best one can do is declare themselves expired. Sell-by date differs in leadership status, employment dynamics, and depends on the sector you find self in as a leader...dp

¦ Your greatest benefit from leadership?

- Being surrounded by pools of knowledge all the time, there's no point crossed sans learning a thing or two, the respect you bag with every shift away from those you touch base with, being adhered to, listened to, and followed a fulfilling benefit multitudes will never get to have experience of. One benefit that stands out as an umbrella for all of them is the growth leading gives you and eternally grateful for that opportunity my way...dp

¦ What’re my 5 best advises to any aspirant biz starter?

- Never read many for-believe books by already successful entrepreneurs in that whatever they share is overdone and late for your market and, as such are misleading. Simply look at the market you want in or you’re in and liaise with its players, and from there navigate your own path to your win...dp

- Never downplay the role of your ancestors in your luck. It may be shaming to those westernised ways of yours for show but everyone has their ancestors whom they turn to when times are rough as they’re watching over us. Acknowledge your ancestors for they are your protectors...dp

- Never lose yourself in your quest for your breakthrough. It’s obvious you’ll be forced to behave in a certain manner in order to belong, but not saying the doctrine should change who you are, rather have a shift without faking it till you make it mentality because in there intact reputation is everything...dp

- Never sell anyone for your advancement, use them for there’s recourse in apology. Make it a habit of retracing your treatment of others and gauge self on how you fare. Again, play away from erasers and write none off, else you’ll have no steps to cling onto the corporate ladder in setbacks because of being erased, and none to catch you in your missteps as they’ll be no longer in your success script. Make people want you not only in your ups, but also in your downs by being there with them for them before you’re there for self...dp

- Big qualifications aren’t for business owners but rather for incumbents to compete for a position in your establishment. Your qualification is seeing your vision realized...dp

 ¦ What should any frontline creative industries practitioner know?

- Have your own signature look and style, and maintain it...dp

- Image embodies a lot, hence it’s everything. How you wear your perfume or cologne and keeping the same smell is important, using certain pose angles for stills and clips for your appearance a key aspect of your image, your voice should be in line with what your personal brand image is about...dp

- Always be in check of where you are and with whom when doing certain things. Your choice of friends and hangers on you keep your potential for growth and downfall. Be it family or anyone, how they relate with you should dictate to you if it’s right or wrong for your career, and you should know...dp

- Keep creating content so that you remain fresh and relevant in the public domain. People wants to constantly be reading about what’s new in your world and any other information about you. Remember, once the spotlight hits you, you attract a following and that on its own a responsibility to keep as they are ever feeding on your latests. So, don’t disappoint, deliver by working hard to be churning out new content about you. The secret is, endorsements don’t rely on your commercial sales success only but in how your score is in engagement with your followers...dp

- Know what you sell of self. As a person of interest you should know that in the industry you sell everything of you. What this means is that you ought to be protective of your voice, appearance, social and career skills, and your skin. As for all listed afore you know or heard about but not about your skin. A skin with many scars doesn’t appeal to a lot of people due to many perceptions, and therefore a must to keep it nourished and radiant so you attract opportunities for ads, guest appearances, collabos and other opportunities that comes with your skin...dp

- Position your endorsed brand right. In order to keep your endorsement deals for longer you need to sell it right. For instance in sports, say for argument sake, an athlete is live on tv, they should at any given chance when aware the cam is on them, make it a point to make the image of the brand they endorse be visible. Giving your endorsed brand mileage a sure way to keeping it for longer...dp

- Always know what to answer in interviews and also when engaging with publics. You never know whom you engage with when out there, so, be aware of what you get asked and what you say back all the time as you might regret that after. Also, when in an interview, think first your statement before you utter to avoid implications of your sayings. Better they say you’re slow, but being cautious a ticket you’re responsible solely for i.t.o your career and your livelihood. Never answer for the sake of answering, say it right all the time. Steer clear off controversy...dp
