this has been a long time coming. If I ever promised you an episode of the podcast maybe a year or two ago or maybe at the beginning of this year, I'm glad to say that we are finally here. We finally got it. And because of this, let's start with a story or two. I have a niece in the African setting. She is my daughter, she just stand three. Her name is Chloe, Hi mama, she's dark, she's beautiful, she's bubbly, she has the brightest smile and the most wholesome laughter. A few months back, her dad bought her by, she had been crying for one since she turned to in her excitement, she pushes her new bike around the house at times, she will give you puppy eyes to carry her and put her on the saddle, then push her around when no one is there to put her on the saddle, she tries to do it by herself and then she falls, you'll see from her face that she is in pain, but she knows if she cries, the bike will be taken away, so she puts on a brave face and tries again and again and again. Chloe is my teacher in this phase of my life more that shortly, story number two, it's friday evening, I've just left the office and I'm heading to parable eight as most Nairobi ins do the last friday of the month. My calculations are two hours of charade, go sleep, then wake up and work on the side hustle have been avoiding, to start my halfway done vision board says this was to happen in quarter one. We are three quarters in and still not done. I've been pushing it. Well let's call a spade a spade. I've been running away from that decision. I call an Uber on my way home, small chit chat with the driver and he tells me this is his side hustle during the day. He manages construction sites. He recently finished campus. He and his wife have side hustles. I asked him his biggest lesson about money, he says, never stop earning. I'm tense. He asks me what I want to achieve in five years and that is what brings me here. I have written seed and even committed to friends that I'm going to do things but I've been too scared, mostly scared of failing. My name is George George Montero, a storyteller, media consultant are creative and a curious soul. I believe we all should be pursuing things that set our souls on fire and enjoying the process. Even when it gets hard, I'm on a mission like we all do to find a tribe I can belong to. I am looking for a tribe of believers, A tribe of achievers, A tribe of those who have found the magic to push beyond their limits and take their chances at finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I want to hear their stories. I want to have a cup of tea with them. Maybe a plate of oh golly, we'll see. But most importantly, I want Chloe to have a library of Kenyan and African heroes she can identify with when she gets to adulthood. I want her to know that she can become the greatest version of herself. If she chooses a good path, puts in the work and sticks to it. Oh, I'll also be learning how to become a better version of myself in areas that I need improving. We are all work in progress. Right? So join me this and every Tuesday here as I peel back the chapters and connect the dots. This is chapters. See you soon.
