We humans are social creatures, and no matter how independent or self-reliant we may be, having a tribe—a group of like-minded individuals who support and uplift us—is essential for our overall well-being and growth. Whether you're pursuing personal goals, embarking on a new adventure, or simply navigating the twists and turns of life, finding your tribe can make all the difference. In this episode with Bethe Onyemaechi, we looked into the strategies that . Some of them includes;
1️. Embrace Your Passions and Interests:
When you engage in activities and pursue your passions, you naturally gravitate towards others who share those interests. Whether it's joining a book club, attending a dance class, or volunteering for a cause you care about, these activities serve as fertile ground for finding kindred spirits. So, unleash your inner explorer and step into new spaces that align with your passions!
2️. Seek Out Communities Online and Offline:
In today's interconnected world, the internet can be a powerful tool for finding your tribe. Social media platforms, forums, and online communities offer vast opportunities to connect with people who share your values and aspirations. Additionally, don't underestimate the power of offline interactions. Attend local meetups, networking events, or workshops related to your interests. Remember, your tribe may be waiting just around the corner.
3️. Be Open and Authentic:
Building a support network requires vulnerability and authenticity. Be open to sharing your thoughts, dreams, and struggles with others. By showing your true self, you create a safe space for others to do the same. Authenticity nurtures deeper connections and attracts individuals who genuinely resonate with who you are. Remember, it's through embracing our imperfections that we find those who appreciate us for who we truly are.
4️. Cultivate Supportive Relationships:
Building a tribe goes beyond surface-level connections; it involves fostering meaningful and supportive relationships. Surround yourself with individuals who uplift and inspire you, and reciprocate the same energy. Seek out people who celebrate your wins, provide guidance during challenges, and genuinely care about your well-being. True support is a two-way street, so be sure to offer your support and encouragement in return.
5️. Diversify Your Tribe:
While it's fantastic to find like-minded individuals who share your passions, don't be afraid to diversify your tribe as well. Surrounding yourself with people from different backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences can enrich your own personal growth. Embrace the beauty of diversity and the unique opportunities it brings for learning, understanding, and expanding your horizons.

THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL MEDIA ON STRESS LEVELS
Social media has revolutionized the way we interact with one another, providing a platform for people to share their thoughts, opinions, and experiences. While social media has many benefits, it is also associated with a range of negative effects, including increased levels of stress.
In this episode my guest Pleasant Ofortube explained in detail how social media can impact our stress levels. One of which is through the constant exposure to news and information. Social media platforms allow users to consume vast amounts of information in a short period, which can be overwhelming and lead to feelings of anxiety and stress. In addition, the 24-hour news cycle can create a sense of urgency and fear, making it difficult to switch off and relax.
Another way social media can increase stress levels is through the pressure to maintain a perfect image. Its users often present an idealised version of themselves, and this can create unrealistic expectations for others. The constant need to project a positive image can be exhausting and lead to feelings of inadequacy or anxiety.
According to her, social media can also contribute to stress through the fear of missing out (FOMO) . The constant stream of updates and notifications can create a sense of urgency and a fear of missing out on important information or events. This can lead to feelings of stress or anxiety, particularly for those who are prone to FOMO.
Though the impact of social media on stress levels is enormous, My guest did not fail to point out the amazing benefit of using social media. The people we connect with and the various communities built are all ways we have benefited from social media.
Find out different strategies of managing stress, how to identify stressors and other helpful tips shared by my guest in this episode.

Effective communication is an essential component of success in all areas of life, from personal relationships to the professional settings. However, it's not just about what we say, but more importantly how we say it, this is where emotional intelligence (EI) comes into play.
Emotional Intelligence is the ability to recognize, understand, and manage our own emotions, as well as those of others. It involves empathy, self-awareness, and self-regulation, which are all critical for effective communication. When we are emotionally intelligent, we are able to communicate more efficiently and connect with others on a deeper level.
In this episode with Chibuike Utaka, we discussed in detail how emotional intelligence plays a key role in effective communication, be it at work, at home or crossing paths with strangers.
Chibuike highlighted the need to accommodate other people's inadequacies and embrace people's differences, but it begins with mastering your own emotions.
He also shares tips on how to develop emotional intelligence and effective communications skills.
This is the episode to listen to if you want to master the art of effective communications.

Storytelling has been a part of human communication for centuries, and it is no different when it comes to branding. In fact, storytelling has become a powerful tool for brands to connect with their audience on a deeper level. In this episode I had the pleasure of hosting Vivian Belonwu, where we delved into the place of storytelling in branding.
The first thing Vivian emphasized was the importance of authenticity. Storytelling in branding should be authentic, genuine, and true to the brand's identity. Consumers can sense when a brand is not being authentic, and this can quickly turn them off. Therefore, it's crucial to be truthful and honest when crafting a brand's story.
Another important aspect of storytelling in branding is the emotional connection that it creates with consumers. When a brand tells a story that resonates with its audience, it creates an emotional bond that goes beyond just the product or service being sold. By connecting with consumers on an emotional level, a brand can create loyal customers who will continue to support the brand even when faced with competition.
Furthermore, storytelling can help differentiate a brand from its competitors. In a crowded market, it's important to stand out, and storytelling can help achieve that. By telling a unique and compelling story, a brand can differentiate itself and create a memorable impression on consumers.
Storytelling plays a significant role in branding, from creating an emotional connection with consumers to differentiating a brand from its competitors. As Vivian Belonwu and I discussed on my podcast, storytelling in branding is all about being authentic and genuine while creating a unique and compelling story.
Whether you're an entrepreneur or a marketer, this episode is sure to provide valuable insights and strategies for leveraging storytelling to take your brand to the next level.

Money Timeline.
The beginning of the year is always a good time to plan your finances.
In this episode with our guest Denu Bon, we looked at what to start doing if you're starting out in your financial journey.
According to Denu, setting aside a percentage of your income specifically for investment is one way to plan your finances.
He stressed that the only expenditure that guarantees a return is the investment in oneself. He likened it to centuries ago when farmers hired more slaves to work on their farmlands.
Planning your finances also means managing expectations, sometimes things don't go the way we want them to. Sometimes investments go bad, in times like this, what do you do?
These and many more were covered in this episode.
Listen and don't forget to share with someone.

How do you deal with the loss of someone so dear to your heart?
My guest this week JD Murgolo, a health coach and mental health podcaster, captures grief accurately
"Grief- that heavy lump in your throat that is difficult to swallow, the stinging in your eyes that threaten to burst out tears, the empty and painful feeling in your chest that simply rests there"
- JD Murgolo
How do you begin to deal with the loss of a loved one, someone you have shared beautiful moments with, it's probably the hardest thing to do but it's the reality for most people.
Grief is an emotional and psychological reaction to a loss, but since we react to things differently, we also react differently to a loss.
In this honest and very deep conversation with JD, we looked at the stages of grief and the journey towards healing.
While a grieving person goes through so many emotions at different times, the people around such a person play a key role in the journey towards healing.
One thing that is important to note in this healing process for a grieving person is the fact that you are not meant to forget that it happened but to accept that it happened.
We hope that this conversation in this episode contributes to the journey of healing for anyone hurting and grieving.

In an era where the internet has become part of our daily lives, it's important to note that social media platforms are no longer an avenue to simply connect with friends and family. It has also become a professional hub where business owners and potential clients meet.
In this episode our guest, Terhemen Agabo shares very insightful thoughts with us on how to utilise these platforms to get jobs.
He began by stressing the need to position yourself right on social media. He stated that for recruiters to find you, you have to project your work and achievement to attract their attention.
Platforms like LinkedIn were designed for professionals, connecting job seekers and employers but LinkedIn is not the only social media platform that offers such opportunities, platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc are all amazing avenues too.
But it's not always about you waiting for people to reach out to you, he said, you can also reach out to potential employers, offering your skills and how much value you can bring to their organisations.
When reaching out, make sure you have a great profile, and have done your research about the organisation so you can have enough to talk about remember organisations are looking for someone who can add value to them. People respect people of value.
Terheman advised those just starting, to get skills and volunteer. Volunteering will help boost your profile and better position you for employment.
Finally, if you don't apply for jobs you may never get employed. So get out there and start applying to your dream jobs.
We hope you find valuable insights from this episode that can help you land your dream job.

THE POWER OF RECIPROCITY.
Reciprocity is one of the core principles that govern the earth, "give and it shall be given unto you".
The problem is that most people don't understand that reciprocating a good deed is a life-saving hack and that exactly is what we uncovered in this episode.
Our guest this week, Ama Manson, helped us understand the strength of doing good when good has been done to you. And beyond that, going out of your way to do unto others what you wish done to you.
Ama explained that reciprocity is not associated with any religion or belief, it is a basic principle that God the creator of the universe has put in place.
One of the things we thought to achieve with this episode is to bring to your consciousness the need to not just take and take but to give as you've been given because the measure you give is the measure you receive.
What if I don't have what to pay back with, or what to give you may ask. Well, you can give service, you can show appreciation openly, and you can give to other people that can't give back to you. But the principle is " Owe No Man"
The goal here is to become a person who freely gives and not one who loves to receive only.
For it is blessed to give than to receive.
Ama shared very insightful thoughts in this episode, and I hope you get value from itDon't forget to share it with someone you love.

It's Interesting to note that when we hear about substance abuse, we often relate it to those who we think are into illegal drugs and so we absorb ourselves of any involvement in such acts. But is that truly the case?
So, what exactly is substance abuse?
Well, this week our guest (Abara Erim), a public health professional, is taking us on a journey to understand what substance abuse is and the dangers of abusing any substance.
According to him, abuse comes from using a substance for a purpose that it was not intended for. It could also mean whatever we take, including a drug that is used to alter one's mood, especially when not prescribed medically
Bearing this in mind, you can see that often we have abused food, drugs and other helpful substances because whenever we take anything in excess it is abused. And constantly engaging in this often leads to addiction.
As a result, we have unconsciously trained our brains to always demand these substances to feel good. But the brain can be rewired to think otherwise.
According to him, whatever we train our brains to do it will do.
There are several implications of substance abuse, which are carefully outlined. However, we did not stop there, we looked at how to correct addictions for those who are addicted to some substances and are ready for a change.
But one thing was certain, as stated by Abara. Addictions can be corrected but it requires discipline to do that.
We believe this episode will enlighten you on the dangers of substance abuse and we hope you find the information valuable.

He stressed that listening is an integral part of communication, so to better communicate with intending customers, one must employ various listening tools such as surveys etc.

What could possibly make your business fail?
Well, our guest (Kingsley Ime), a business development consultant, outlined some of the common mistakes that could kill your new business and these mistakes do not spare established businesses.
Starting a business, you need to answer the questions regarding the why, what, where and when of your business he stated, but that is not enough. For that business to grow and be sustained you need to pay attention to the mistakes outlined in this episode.
Lack of business education is behind many failed businesses. If you don't invest in business education, you will be easy prey to business challenges.
Our guest emphasized the need to invest in educating your team on various aspects of the business, never making light of the importance of upskilling your team very often.
Research and development is another key area that must not be taken for granted. According to him, any business that takes research and development seriously will always be ahead. Because you will be informed of what the market wants and you will be able to serve the market right.
Lack of proper planning is another mistake that should be avoided and a host of many others are carefully outlined in this episode.
We hope that this episode helps you grow your business from the level where it is currently to a next and better level.

Then lastly your offer. An offer, Joseph said, is what differentiates you from your competitors. What extra thing are you willing to give or do that your competitors are not doing. It could be a discount, amazing customer service, free classes etc.
To consistently sell online requires that you build credibility over time, it is not a walk in the park but if you get the basics right you will always have results.
This episode offers you information on the basic principles you need to consistently market and sell your product. The amazing thing is you can also apply them to your offline sales as well.

This week's episode is brought to you in partnership with Healthtracka.
To help us understand How to care for the Kidney, our guest Dr Ochuko began by explaining the importance of the kidney in the body.
According to her, the kidney is one of the five major organs in the body, with the crucial responsibility of helping the body function properly.
Like regulating waste products in the body, helping to filter toxins in the body and working with other organs like the liver and the heart.
Such an organ with this level of importance must be cared for.
She pointed out some of the healthy practices that help keep the kidney in perfect condition. Such as avoiding dehydration, drinking water when thirsty, and not using carbonated drinks to satisfy taste. -Drink enough water daily- She emphasises.
She also pointed out the need to control your blood sugar, exercise often and avoid smoking or reduce smoking to the barest minimum.
So far the cure for kidney failure is either dialysis or a kidney transplant she said and to avoid getting to this extreme point, Dr Ochuko advised on what every adult should do.
She also said that people with these existing health issues like Hypertension, diabetes and obesity should pay more attention to the kidney.
Have we pointed out all that was shared in this episode? Absolutely not. She also shared some of the signs of kidney problems and advised that periodic checkups should be done by every adult at least twice a year.
Listen to this episode to learn the perfect way to care for your kidney.
