"Shame on you for asking me to take you out!" says Elizah Kimani | #YPodcast
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
The podcast episode opens with hosts Elizah Kimani and Tomia discussing the complexities of modern relationships and societal expectations, particularly regarding dating and self-worth. They address the common pressure on men to take women out on dates, framing it as a responsibility rather than a request that should be made by the woman. The conversation highlights how society often prioritizes physical appearance over personality, warning against judging people solely by their looks because accidents or health issues can change one's appearance overnight. Furthermore, they touch upon the dangers of vanity in Nairobi, such as expensive wigs and plastic surgery, advising listeners to value genuine character and safety over superficial trends that can lead to financial loss or embarrassment.
A significant portion of the discussion focuses on the "hustle economy" and the motivations behind young people starting businesses. The hosts debate whether entrepreneurship stems from a true passion or simply a necessity due to a lack of formal employment opportunities. They express concern about the pressure to monetize every skill immediately upon leaving home, which can lead to burnout and treating human interactions as purely transactional. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of financial discipline, advising entrepreneurs to save capital before taking loans and to avoid sharing their business strategies with friends who might sabotage them. Additionally, they warn against the prevalence of scams on social media, urging buyers to verify physical locations before making purchases to avoid falling victim to fraudsters who steal personal information.
The hosts also reflect on the hidden efforts behind successful ventures, noting that while society celebrates famous faces like CEOs or musicians, the real work is often done by unseen teams including engineers, designers, and support staff. They advocate for a business culture that treats employees like family, encouraging owners to appreciate their team's contributions rather than taking credit alone. This perspective extends to personal growth, where they suggest that while quitting a job to chase dreams is noble, it is risky without a backup plan; therefore, maintaining current employment while building a side hustle is often the safer path. Ultimately, the episode concludes with a call to action for listeners to be good stewards of their resources, to value people for who they are, and to remain vigilant against scams while pursuing their goals with patience and discipline.

like okay that's
like the least thing you can do is take
care of your body. I was like who told
you that the fact that that person is
plump a machine could take care of their
body. So people have different
preferences. Yeah. Just be you. you're

you know people operate differently in a
way that
[clears throat]
you're not supposed

like love the personality.
The moment that you choose to to love
the what you see rather than what you
feel
[laughter]
[laughter] always have to choose.
Hey, this is my mama.
But really, is that all that matters?
Like honestly, I feel
>> [laughter]
>> I feel like it's so wrong like to go for
the looks of what what really matters
in the next.
No, no, no. That's not that's not my
thing. Of course,
so I won't do that.
Okay.
Why should Why should I go to gym?
Like you're going to the gym to be fit.
People have a mindset of
anything like that. Like you're just
going to do exercise to be fit.
Do you know do you know how much I don't
like you
>> and then I won't I won't be that
comfortable
but I won't be I won't find myself in
that situation cuz I know if I get to
that point

going to happen, but I get an accident
and my whole face is burnt.
>> Are you still going to stick with me?
You know,
not here anymore.
>> Yeah, but that's really bad. Be very
like I'm saying like when you go for the
looks, you never know. Maybe even
a certain thing
Understandable but let's say body let's
talk about body
then what is it about tomorrow even a
week even a month even a year even even
fear something might happen then
you never know so you just okay let me
let me skip to the next
looks
if I'm not
>> sometimes
>> people that are different probably an
accident happens and they are disfigured
or something and they spouse still
sticks with them
>> because this person was not in love with
you because you are okay man we find
love like that
in the next years
my
>> [laughter]
>> Okay.
Okay. [laughter]
Anyways,
be very careful.
Do you know wigs in a range from 3K to
50, 100, 150, 200k?
Well,
>> wigs are different. But this is to tell
you to be very careful.
So yeah, and you know, I think they've
realized that just
now.
So I don't know, but it's very very
scary.
glue. A lot of these guys try to out
[laughter]
but still embarrassing.
It's just lines.
There's a cup that [laughter]
are laughing.
You see, [laughter] because I knew he
would laugh.
>> In some way, in some way, it's funny.
Let's see. I'm just imagining. Yeah,
it's sad and it's funny at the same
time. Come on. I have I have that type
of humor.
>> Yeah, cuz I'm imagining
shoot.
>> But but you know who was doing some some
[laughter]
can be really embarrassing.
Nairobi
there's a lot of crime that is going on
came to another thing
most of the time they don't feel and
whose fault is that I don't know their
fault at some point so
you're wearing a wig Imagine
75,000 5,000 10,000
you blow dry and it looks brand new. So
that's
amazed.
[laughter]
So that's really bad.
I was going to interview I can't go
anymore. Yeah. And then
you don't have even the confidence to
stand in that
will be some important.
So it's really bad to see like what to a
point that they even committing a crime
just to sustain themselves.
True.
>> Something need to be done
>> and the ladies be very careful.
Tik Tok mostly the ladies
those who do get ready
the moment that you're just there
when you know you know this is Nairobi
So be just be careful. I think that's
the best advice you can give people
right now. Just be careful. Be careful.
Be careful.
>> Yes. And
not matter. The destination is what
matters
>> because you know what happened to her.
>> Um the fact that she loves who she is
right now and probably in the gym
>> take forever for her to really get to
the body she
>> has right now. So um I am not an
advocate of all that. Me I am a person
who would advise you to eat well.
like just eat the cut like
is not so
but
>> [laughter]
>> But you what I feel like
>> producer is judging me. You should not
judge a baby girl. Okay. I love to
purchase
>> but I normally see ladies just taking
one then I'm good.
>> I'm not
a lady. [laughter]
I prefer I prefer free in that extent.
Me I eat so many of them.
I I just [laughter] want
I don't eat
but
I'm like
why are you guys just calling me? My
money was just relaxing
like me and I have eaten chapati from
since I was born I think like forever.
That was the meal that my mom would
prepare for breakfast every morning.
But I still love chapati. I know why you
love them cuz back in the day like
oh my
understand why I think back in the day
we seen as a very
classes I
restless
then that's the best part of it but
apart from chap now talking about you
know yeah pretty vish and how she has
closed the journey cuz you have seen she
has been through a lot even starting
when she started to date a simple boy
then they came to social media social
media
so she was she had very negative a lot
of negative comments then so she started
doing her own thing of course
but it's a good way I'm not really I'm
not really supportive of plastic surgery
and all that cuz I know it affects a a
lot of people differently. Maybe you
remember when the plastic surgery
back
lost a lot of money in that stuff. But
if
>> Well, if you have the money
>> if you have the money for it.
>> Yeah. And you I feel like
>> I feel like um being healthy the right
way is the best like
do what
>> I advised that's what it starts man I'm
okay like all right but your doctor
tells you to
>> I've cut another he's not my doctor
>> don't hate me he was just a a client
that was is it a client? I guess that
was and he didn't want to side with me.
Yes. So [laughter]
>> I think that is one of the people that I
will always remember. That's heartbreak.
>> Yeah. I feel
it's [laughter] on you.
The answer is for both of us. I'm the
one who asked the moment of something is
not happening in my body.
years from now
alongside video
trust me.
[laughter]
>> Anyways, this is why in the morning we
are in the Y podcast. Yes. And if you
have a comment, anything whatsoever you
would like to tell us, please go and
work out to Facebook and on all other
social media platforms. Make sure that
you drop your comment and we're going to
be reading as we get to wind up on this
segment. And now for the last story on
the catching up and what's trending a
guy, I'm a post story.
But my girlfriend is cheating on me. And
when I found out she was cheating on me,
she started and I asked her.
Okay.
So,
okay.
feel like, hey, what kind of a son did I
raise? You should not raise your hand on
a woman. That was so wrong.
um I don't want to forgive you but at
some point
>> who is forgiving whoever
>> and at some point
forgive but now the question it's very
funny like it's a very like this story
has so many things to talk about
>> uh but I have a question before Why is a
man going to cry to his mom?
>> Oh, wait. The story is the lady cheated
on the man.
>> Then um then
you did a wrong thing.
Okay. But but let me answer your
question.
won't do that. I cannot do that. There's
no need.
Should I forgive her? Should I take her
back or what should we do?
>> That's reasonable.
She's a good lady.
>> Let me tell you, you are cheating on me.
>> I will beat you up and I will not even
apologize to you and I will not take you
back.
Ladies need differently. So you when she
cheats on you?
>> Hell no.
>> And why I saying it's different? It's
different.
Yeah. Like wait a minute.
What do you do? Okay.
Oh, sorry guys.
[laughter]
Sorry for coming in the middle of your
business. Let me go. I am coming back.
Is that what you would do?
>> That's not the type of type of
disrespect.
I don't know what will happen.
>> I really like I really like to control
my hunger.
>> Wow.
So that's why I don't like involving
myself in those type of
lady
>> and the fact that I'm cheat
on you.
So you're not really there in that
picture. Maybe something else.
This is my advice.
step
to come let's say we dating then I cheat
on you like to be so awkward come
I'll be feeling like
even even the moment
>> let me tell you if I cheat on you as a
man and you come back to me I'm treating
you like trash
>> true true
I'm like even after that like I feel
like that is the worst being actually
the worst type of disrespect
apart from lying
is even
okay you are nothing to me that's how
>> and also the fact that it's not once
>> yeah you did it again and again and
again like what are you even thinking
and then you expect me to to take But I
would forgive you as a man.
>> But
>> that's it. Like there's no taking you
back.
>> I would forgive you. But we never talk
again. Like
what are we talking about? Then
I blame I blame some some parents, some
moms.
>> Why? Like But it's good when the mom is
open with the son. True, but not to such
an extent.
That's why we even
>> Do you have a sister?
>> Yeah, we do have a sister.
Oh,
>> but we we protect her cuz she's the only
sister that we have. Three boys and one.
But do you know like there's still those
type of moms even
okay for for a lady like when you're
raising a daughter I think it's
understandable when you're lenient
on the daughter but for for
[laughter]
I love you
It's it's being raised by cuz now right
now moms they raising they're raising
their kids in a very
>> good way
I said before you even go on in my house
in my mansion that I'm going to build
upon a specific room that is has
acostics acostics soundproof Okay.
My mom used to beat us up.
Hey mom.
Anyway, she was good. She was good.
escape.
Okay. So, I want you
to me, my big bro, my big.
Yeah. But I feel like it helped us a
lot.
with like five kids. If my mom was not
asked as she was like for real
[laughter]
like what else? Cuz I'm looking at other
kids
or something
and I'm looking at their lives and I'm
like probably I would be like them or
worse than them if my mom was not my
mom. get a report card.
The first first thing
last especially for primary school
report is a whole book. So
explain subject per subject. So every
time I had it in mind man I have to do
it my best
things we used to do. We used to remove
our what are they called? Lashes
crossereotam
[laughter]
I am not really into this math.
Let me tell you, I never passed a
question of gazing ever. ABCD ABC D.
Like I was terrible at gazing.
>> Like
I I always knew I'll lose that answer
that I've decided. It's a C.
I don't know why. I think I just had bad
luck. Bad luck really. But back to the
topic talking about
I think I won't do that.
We should dress them differently on
compared to how we raised a bad way.
Yeah. Especially
what could you say
in this in this world that we living
right now there's nothing easy for the
man at least for for
even for ladies
let me tell you this pisses me off I
wanted to put it on my status but I'll
say it here
>> for all those men that are telling me to
take them out I will not take you
host.
Are you even stupid? You are the man
in my inbox. Like me. ARE YOU EVEN ARE
you okay?
>> Like this pisses me off so much. You are
the man.
Hey, I can even show you. Let me show
you.
Like I was not This was even yesterday.
I like this was
>> I was guys allow me give him my phone so
that he can see that I'm not lying.
Okay, you are a man. Be the man.
I don't understand. But this is imagine.
But me I told him outrightly I I I can't
take a man out. I I can't I can't really
embarrow up.
>> That has come out of nowhere. But he has
grow up. Okay.
>> Yeah. Just grow up, man. How does he
grow up? Just be a man. Come on.
Can you take me out? Really? Doesn't
make sense. Imagine.
Okay. Okay.
So,
ask them cuz you're the man. You ask
them.
You see, there's there's evidence on my
phone. It's not like I'm like
okay relax but you know what you are the
man let me tell you I would do that I'm
not saying that I wouldn't pay the bills
that's okay I will do it
that is not my responsibility let me do
it as a helper not that me
okay let's say not responsibility
but it's not something that you should
ask
someone
I I I don't think I've ever asked anyone
at
>> like I don't
>> and I'm a lady and I've never done that.
So me I don't know I I don't know how
you guys are brought up.
>> I'm just trying to get introspective.
Can you take me? [laughter]
>> That's really embarrassing. Then I don't
take women out on dates. Wow.
But
that's what I'm saying.
>> [clears throat]
>> Like the way you raise your son or your
daughter, but mostly
the way you
son.
So the moment in the real world nothing
easy
cannot do
very
>> yeah you'll feel especially if it's the
first time what what what is your first
impression on this part
>> I'm trying to get
>> I don't know what is wrong like I was so
pissed off and this was yesterday I was
so angry
>> that I was like like I didn't even have
to hide
can take you out.
>> I know it's normally like the way the
other way
of the year. Can I take you out? Can I
take you out?
I am the TV host of the year. I should
take you out. I hope you're watching
this show. Shame on you. [laughter]
>> Anyways, let's get straight to the topic
because I see the time is really uh
gone. Today we're speaking about the
hustle economy. Okay. Yes. And we are
asking are we really building
businesses? And our first question is
are young people starting businesses
because they have a passion or because
they can't find jobs?
>> Mhm.
>> Are young people starting businesses
because uh they have a passion or
because they can't have jobs?
>> I think jobs mostly but there are some
who are starting but
let's say something about
Nobody has a passion for that.
>> I'm not saying in a bad way.
I get your point. I get your point.
But we respect our especially a guy that
is selling is too. I love buying from
guys. I don't know why. and also old men
like that's not really the passion
not small scale so that's not really a
passion but you know
most of them they don't have the jobs so
they need a way to survive so
I'm going to start an online bags or
even perfumes
still
then I don't have a job right now
to do any job but I have maybe about
100,000 in my pocket okay let me survive
with this money
that does not does not make sense let me
start
on the side
of the day.
That's the thing. It's not really about
their jobs.
>> I don't know.
>> [laughter]
>> something. Let's say
I want some some certain bright
then I'll customize it for you.
Why? Cuz I love what I'm doing. That's
that's my passion.
So I'm doing at the end of the day also
it's also paying for me. So find your
passion but I think most of the young
people right now just doing it for
survive
>> and do you think that we are under
pressure to monetize everything?
>> Mhm.
>> How much am I getting from
how much am I getting from it? So is it
that we are so much pressure to monetize
>> like the moment that you step out of
your mom's your fathers or your parents
or your guardians compound that that
means your
feel like oh man why will I get money so
any small opportunity that you get feel
like I need to do I need to get
something out of it
then
okay I'll take my
But what will happen at the end of the
month
then I need to eat every day I need to
do.
So that's why we have got into a
pressure
for free
>> and is that to tell people not to expect
things for free
services for free? Who is wrong between
the two?
I feel like
someone
free
something.
So there's that that notion when you see
you like a mistake someone being kind
with with
and that's for me I don't know if I ever
shared with you that I used to plate
people's hairs. So,
a whole human being, a whole grown woman
like
[laughter] Are you serious? Cuz I I
didn't have a salon, so I used to do
home home making of hair. So, I'm like,
wait a minute. Is she even okay? Like,
okay, you you're really you're really
polite.
M
>> the first thing now
if you're like me and it's very
difficult for you to
how much are you offering so that
Wow really
yeah
Um, I need you I need you to maybe to do
a graphic design for me. Then then after
the work then boom
like I'll take my my hours even
designing the whole thing
too much
just for free but it's not really the
reality cuz I don't I don't really
I cannot really take things for free cuz
I feel like feel Okay, I owe you
like I feel like I owe you something
which I don't I don't like the feeling
cuz
>> and that's why it's good to talk about
these things beforehand. How much are
you expecting before we start? I can
afford you or I cannot and we get to
negotiate and get to a point of
agreement.
I was planning to use that money today
and then you're telling me to come for
the money on Saturday.
You know there are people who do that
like you're not around
bad. It is like it's bad. Like let's not
treat people like they are not human
beings. And also do not put or give
someone hope when you know you're not
going to give them an opportunity. That
is crazy
>> cuz let's say you have a certain job
and the moment you see a person coming
to ask for it does it means like he or
she needs
if you're not if you're not red cross
any type of
free.
>> Yeah. I'm not coming there to do for
free. I mean at the end of the day.
Yeah, that's really bad. It is
giving it my all and then in the hope of
that I'm going to be to be given the
opportunity when it comes and then I
just see a new face from somewhere just
coming to replace me. That's that's very
sad and it's very heartful for that
person.
>> Yeah.
>> Me I love saying before you do anything
put yourself in the shoes of that person
that you're trying to mistreat or
something and then feel how they would
feel when what you want to do to them
would have been done to you. M. Yes.
>> True. True. That's that's the best way
to put it. Put yourself up before
someone
if you're in that situation in a way
that
I thought.
So it's not it's not a good thing even
at all even.
It's not all about money but
a lot of ways that you can appreciate
someone cuz I feel a person has done
maybe a good job for you. Why why give
it for free appate someone
like that's the least you can do to
someone
only that. Yes. So this is why in the
morning and if you have a comment like
anything you would like to tell us make
sure that you go p Facebook and get to
tell us. We're going to be reading your
comments as we get to wind up this
segment but make sure that you talk to
us. Yes we are here and we like
interacting and getting to know where
you're watching us from. Yes. And um
another question that we have is um why
do some small businesses make money but
never actually grow? They make money,
they make money but they never grow.
Best way to put it is some of these
business
100,000 then you want to start a
business doesn't mean that your 100,000
big business that is don't have that
enough capital to start the business. So
what happened is some of the owners
small business even the big businesses
they normally go to the the bank or even
to to investors okay we need we need
this amount of money
then I'll be paying this certain amount
maybe after maybe a monthly installments
so you feel like in that situation okay
it's
booming
But the the the amount that you're
getting at the end of the day, the
profit that you're making at the end of
the day, it split it in a lot of way
for the rest of the life.
the amount of money that you're left
with.
So it's a just a hunt.
So that's why some of these businesses
they don't
branches most of them are built on
loans. So that's
>> I also think that at some point you see
many people don't respect their
businesses. What do I mean? If you have
a food business,
that is one thing that makes businesses
not grow for you
and you never return and you realize
that
at some point. Yeah. So especially for
the small businesses
that I get to eat this candy otherwise
at the end of the day.
So where and everyone around you
was working for my my parents shop
then you're very hungry
of
Then we'll go
about 40. So 40
breakfast
[laughter]
that means all the profit would
So maybe
let's say 2,000 but
1600. So yeah
your own business. So that's a good
point let's value
the
business. Yeah.
Yeah,
it's your business.
Remember not to restock your business.
So just invest in your own shop.
That means
you're not giving
you the last piece.
like yeah so and also something else an
advice for you who has a shop or you're
selling goodies never say you don't have
okay if someone asks even if you don't
give them tell them
but
and then go bring it that is one way of
growing your shop
I'll never come to your shop again when
I did that same product That's the best
business
type of new ones.
Just give them alternative.
I think shop is the best example for
this.
soap soap goes with detergent
something like that you even find you're
reminding them oh by the way
so even if they won't pick that the next
client will so be a very nice
personality
show them show them that you need that
And also have all those things together.
They work together. Have them together.
Everyone that is getting into your shop
can see them. Yes, we are giving you
tips.
Anyways, um can you build a a successful
business without taking a loan? This is
from the point where we say most of the
times
some businesses not grow is because they
took loans and now they always keep
paying. But do you think uh you can be
able to start a business without a loan?
Me I think yes. I hate debt and I hate
loans. But
>> yeah, I think so. Yeah. Uh it's just a
just being patient enough. Come on. Come
on. I feel like um you need to start a
business just well
just be patient.
get the easier way.
Let me save this money.
Maybe when I get this certain amount of
money that means a certain strategy then
you'll be saving your money be saving
your money [clears throat] but do you
know do you know like that's the most
hardest way to start a business
okay
so if you're committed enough think it's
all about commitment and discipline
really cuz if you you have that type of
commitment and discipline that means
yeah you can save that money but say you
know this generation need the easier way
out
>> use lock account
>> yeah but
>> you can lock your money
>> you know you know that doesn't work
doesn't work
>> for you it doesn't work
>> no the same for me but for a lot of
people dance cuz I've seen it
mindset
you've locked maybe around 50 but
you just go Yeah,
give me a window.
So that's the
best way. But this money project that is
going to be done in January. So no
matter what happens
[laughter]
then but but now to to avoid all that
just be disciplined enough in a way save
your own money. Come on come come like
you have something to to build on. Maybe
you have some business that you're
thinking about. Maybe
anything
this amount but an additional one just
means
00050
>> cuz it's true. I gave you the money.
It's true. Give me the money. And also
even another thing when you are going to
borrow uh money from someone do not
share your whole dream your whole whole
idea
I want to do this and then I'll do this
and no do not give your strategies to
the enemy or whoever you think that is
your friend
and people are trying to sabotage
everywhere they can and people are
selfish.
That's something you should know.
Okay.
But I look at it,000.
I need about 150.
Yeah, that's the question that you be
asked.
You have noticed maybe a
gap in the market.
Do anything anything possible.
You don't have to sell your ide
is the last point, the last thing I
would go for. But be a good steward.
Start saving right now. By the time
you're in a figure, you will you will be
somewhere. You can even start small and
half a bill.
Like it's just about how you're being a
good steward and how you are being
careful with your money. Yeah. Facebook.
Which one do you go with?
I see you're hustling.
>> Hustler. [clears throat]
>> Yeah. The moment that you hear the name
but any type of job that you're doing.
So we going with
all right. Do you think that
do you think that is too risky? It's
just go for it.
Hey man, for me I I'm quitting this job
and I'm chasing my dream.
I'm going to quit my job.
Most of the time it won't work out.
It's something that really take
patience.
They normally tell you to pay 3 months
in advance.
They don't know you.
They don't know your services. So before
even you get to build that type of a
connection to your customers, you show
them like build that type of market with
the customers. It didn't take a while.
So
>> unless
before
we have a physical shop, you can come.
That's why that's why a lot of a lot of
businesses fall mostly.
We just take the books.
Okay.
10 shots about 150
start
about 150 50 times 100 times 10 that's
about 15,000 okay me making 15,000
that's that's really
But now the hardest part comes when
this
reality before people now get to know to
a point that
takes a while. I won't ad
focus more on your business side rather
than you can go to the the other side.
But
let me let me let me start dream. Let me
let me
do the sad thing about you.
after a while after 10 years in the
business.
So that's the B something.
So you never know
that hotel,00
day
You have seen restaurants
and know that's the worst thing when
people start talking about something
else
something else even it's way worse cuz
now everybody especially
that.
>> Yeah.
>> Why Why are you employed there as a
waitress and you're taking forever to
come and attend to me
that
just walk out? 5 minutes is is a lot of
time.
>> Yeah, that means that means walk out.
Also something else
and I know this is not a restaurant
where you you you make an order for them
to cook for you. What are you doing?
You're wasting a lot of my time.
Can you get something else? Like
communicate with this person.
I feel these people should be taught.
>> Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
And I'm not saying it's wrong, but
you
so I feel like so the moment that you
get that means
to bring my order.
supporting also the way
they just spot a hotel that has no
client.
Oh, it it depends on how you
>> depends on you. But some good day also.
>> The advice is don't lose the job that is
paying your bills right now to go
through to risk or okay, you're all
about risking but you have something you
can do both.
>> Yeah, you can do both. Come that
committed you can do both. You can give
time for both of the work. Another
advice I would give is
like think of a business idea probably
whatever you think they would use the
students and start selling
and it's going to be very easy like
chances are not everyone has the luxury
When you go out there, it becomes very
easy for you.
Like already you know. So by the time
all you do is change the your clients
but the business already. Cuz
the moment that you step out of school,
that means now new responsibilities, new
things, totally new things, then you
have to now to learn how to survive
Nairobi. If you're not lucky enough to
be from a rich household,
>> yeah.
>> Um, do you have any questions from your
side?
Facebook. We are almost getting to read
your comments. So, make sure that you
drop your comment.
I promise that I'm going to do that. And
actually, we are on all social media
platforms at Y254
channel. Yes.
>> Mhm. Okay. Why do we celebrate the
entrepreneur but really talk about the
employees behind the businesses?
>> Cuz he's the face of the business.
>> Mhm.
>> Like right now, let's say
Elon Musk,
>> we always say he's a millionaire. He's a
billionaire. Like he's doing so well.
But yeah, as a standalone man, he
wouldn't be where he is. He has so many
managers
and actually those are the people who
have built him.
>> Mhm.
talking
but do you know it doesn't do all that
>> knowledge fund too a group of engineers
>> that are doing that designers lot of big
team behind behind it but it's the main
face of the company that's that's why we
tend to celebrate
their money
>> but you know let's say a person like a
musician you're not an artist. Okay.
Yeah. And I put the works, you know, but
sometimes we tend to celebrate like the
artist himself rather than celebrating
other people behind him
even
celebrating the work of that
producer. This beat was produced by
as an artist myself just go and write
lyrics
but
lyrics
so you just have the voice.
>> Yeah. So that's that's how we tend to
celebrate
the whole
[clears throat]
certain product
even
before
but still people are behind a lot of
what's happening also Like
I'm not alone. I'm with a team.
>> Like I'm I'm the CEO, but I have a team.
Yeah. And those people are the ones that
do a lot behind the scenes that nobody
notices. Notice to the face of
so many people that are behind here. We
have the camera people, we have the
producers, sound engineers, all those
people. They working behind.
But
you wouldn't be seeing us. The lighting
cit like there's a lot of the work that
is done behind the scenes and the people
behind the scenes are the ones that do
most of the work to to make sure that
>> Yeah. So even if you are a business
owner by the way learn to appreciate
those people take them out get them
vultures Christmas appreciate them and
show them that guys I appreciate your
efforts and I saw how you've supported
me over the year let's get through the
new year strong
what are you doing
yeah true that's I think every business
should be any sort of business
the business that have that culture Um
at the end of the year they normally do
something like a get together then they
get to [music] celebrate this they look
at the achievements that they have made
the losses that they have made then they
do a strategy for for the following
year. So I think that's the best way to
do it.
So we feel like okay enough to do the
job
like a business should be like a family.
Every team working
because the moment that you you decide
to work
that means disconnect from disab
employer CEO that's I always appreciate
they have big business.
That's the best way to put it.
>> Yeah.
>> He has a team. He has people he's
working with, which is very very
important.
And it's good like appreciate them and
show them that you see what they do.
That is very important.
>> Okay. Now um another one is does social
media make entrepreneurship look easier
than it actually is?
>> It does
tap the screen.
Yeah. Let's say social media has made it
easier. But you know there's a lot of
people who have been scammed by social
media.
>> A lot of people. Hey, like I've seen
with my hand with my eyes like
create a fake online shop
>> then
whatever you're doing
for this I saw someone
as tattoo shop like a fake tattoo shop
this type of tattoo do you want a small
size I think depend size small medium
the small size for it 30050
to $300
let's say 40 40,000 shillings okay
where do I send the money
yeah so a lot of people being scammed by
social media so just depends before
before even I trust a shop they decide
could buy something on a
more than two more than one.
Something else my friend was telling me
is that you see malls
in town
very very excellent.
You choose the kind of you want
Not you're not the only person that has
come here. Very many people have been
coming to this shop, but it's a scam.
Something that I learned the hard way.
Please go to their physical shop first.
And I realized people have friends.
is a whole business on itself.
It's a whole team. Yeah, it's a whole
team.
capture.
>> They tell you when you do, you choose
which box has what and all that. And
then
zero. And when you win, they never allow
you to go.
>> Why? because they know they have they
want their money back.
They doing the same thing.
So like just know that is not really a
good place for the for the buyer but for
the seller I think
but now something else that I wouldn't
say buy like you're saying it's good but
the bad side but there's a good side
because at times they get clients
okay where's the where's your shop can I
come to your shop and you can go to that
shop so you see as much
if you want to go to the physical shop,
you go and you get your product which
makes it easy.
True, true, true. Therefore the for the
entrepreneur
now it will be easier for for him even
to market the business
something you never know where it will
landed
to any sort of reach
million
thousand even 100 views. So you never
know you're the limit that you you're
going to get.
just
maybe
that's the thing about social media in
some way made it easier some way be
careful know what's legit um counter
check again and again to be very sure
before you say you're purchasing
something
after delivery
which makes sense
that's prefer just going to the physical
shop then I buy it there then travel
that's a safety
But at the end of the day, you're saving
your money.
My graduation I will never forget. Yeah.
So be very careful.
And then we find
a whole
building
for
location.
You're not the first people to come.
Those guys are scammers.
>> That's that's how it works. And they get
a lot of that's their mode of survival.
I don't know why they get your number.
ID. Hey, your full name, your phone
number
people use your detent.
>> Yeah, I have seen that message so many
times.
>> So when you fall for it, I think a lot
of people have fall,000.
When you see kind of a message, call
your landlord or whoever it is that you
pay to message
otherwise
>> cuz it could be true. But why are they
not Yeah.
Such a thing happens.
So do not allow yourself to be scammed
just like that. Be very very very
careful. I think we can get we can get
to the comments
which is which which do you feel
respectful? It has some class to it.
Yes. So let's get to see some of the
comments that you've dropped p Facebook.
Yes. And we are on all social media
platforms at Y254
channel. Yes.
