Non-core or Universal pillars

  1. Specialisation
  2. Geo-diversity
  3. Networking

1. Career

  • I have no career, I am an Innovation Fellow
  • Okay, it is actually a career but it is an entrepreneurs career, which makes it my life

2. Side Venture

  • I have no side venture apart from my interest in the blockchain space, which is closely related to my career.
  • I have been asked by people to have classes on blockchain and cryptocurrencies. Seems like a lot of admin and anyone can do that
  • I should be building but that takes even more work

3. Investing

  • I invest in a couple of things:
    1. United Women’s Sacco - 5k per month
    2. Crypto - 5k per month
    3. Kuzah - 3k per month
    4. Sile Capital Group - 2k per month
  • Looking to get into Degen crypto investing but I am not sure how to get started.
  • My goal for the year is 500k in invested and saved assets

4. Fitness

  • I am doing extremely poorly on this one.
  • I stretch occassionally in the morning and I take a 30 minute walk at least every day
  • This needs to improve. I could just pay for a gym membership and make sure that I go

5. Specialisation

  • Right now, I have my focus on being a technical product manager
  • This means that I manage the development of a product and I oversee the software development side of it. I manage the people who work on the design, business and software side
  • Also, I have my eyes set on the blockchain technology. However, it is a bit out of my range of things to get done so I just have Twitter Spaces about it

6. Geo-diversity

  • I am not geo-diverse, I have never even worked outside of Nairobi
  • I thought of moving to Nyeri back in the university but there is nothing for me to do there

7. Networking

  • My networking skills are not the best and I have not attended anything new this year
  • I have contacted a number of people in the blockchain space but apart from that, I am a ghost in this Nairobi scene.
