#CollisionConf by @CollisionHQ is very useful for any startup that's looking to raise capital or scale globally. I encourage you to register for the next one. I like the investor-startup "dates" where you have 30 minutes of real face time with investors.
There are 2-minute pitch sessions on stage where you can sell your product to investors. There are mentor hours to ask VCs anything in a small group. There are random conversations you can have with anyone wearing an investor badge.
Finally, there's the app where you can scan & save contacts you meet, download start up pitch decks and book quick meetings in dedicated lounges.
People are making real connections here and signing checks. It has substance. I've personally met 4 fund-worthy businesses I plan to talk to some more.

After many years of a corporate career and a few years of entrepreneurship, I can safely say I have met only a few people who are genuinely serious. Serious about their careers, what they are building or other people.
Too many folks say things they don't really mean. They forget things easily. They are very careless. They do not learn from mistakes.
That's why I am very surprised when I meet a serious person who is struggling with income or finding a job. I'm like, "Do you know how fucking rare you are? Do you know how many companies need your level of intensity and detail?"

On #GenZ work culture - as you are making choices, others, including organizations are making choices too. For every action there is a reaction. So as you are doing you, please respect other people's right to do them too. Namaste. 🙏🏾
That said, kindness and respect are human values. They are non-negotiable at work and at home. So are hardwork, commitment, discipline and responsibility.
I think the problem in many workplaces is communication and understanding. Set clear expectations. If you need to shift the goal post in the event of business emergencies, don't take the sacrifice for granted or assume it. Ask.

Religion is a fascinating merger of the spiritual, cultural and social. It has the power to destroy or transform lives, and its destructive side is often cultural. This is because people interpret scripture ideologically.
Abstraction is difficult for humans. We understand things relative to other things - family upbringing, societal norms, what we've been taught etc. Learning does not take place in a vacuum.
You will meet very few people who grasp knowledge outside existing frameworks. We tag them geniuses. An example is Einstein who intuitively discerned the equation, E=MC².

If you struggle with impatience like me, the following may be helpful when speaking to others:

1. Don't say the first thing that comes to mind. Refine it until it is kind.
2. Genuinely listen. Take an active interest even if you're not interested at first or have heard it before
3. Look for what is good first and commend that.
4. Talk less and talk later.
5. Practice the habit of sleeping over things or taking a walk before responding.
These are short-term fixes. Ultimately, what you really need to work on is respect. Respect for others, no matter their station.

Whenever I start missing home even when I'm at home, I know I'm deeply distressed. This happened to me a few days ago.
Over the years, it took a while to identify the feeling. To understand that what I was really missing was the family home in Magodo where my parents used to live. So, I was indirectly missing my parents (now deceased).
I was longing for my mom to ask if I had eaten and then give instructions for food to be served. I was wishing for my dad to ask about my work, career and travel plans in obvious pride. And, I was remembering the prayers my mom would say just as I was leaving.

YOU NEED A HOME

You need a home. There might be a Russia-Ukraine war, and a pandemic may be raging. Nigeria may not have light and diesel prices may have doubled in days. But, when you get home, there is quietness.
Your business partners may be shafting you. Regulators may be unpredictable and unbearable. But when you return home, you experience a haven of order, values, honour and comfort.
If you married the wrong person; if a loved one is struggling with a debilitating chronic condition, going home may be difficult.

If you're barely trying to get by and you live in a rough part of town, the concept of home may be far from you.
