0:00A: I see. And so what makes you want to start a podcast? What makes you interested in having your own platform?
0:04B: Okay, basically, I would want to give people opportunity to express themselves and drop their opinions and also learn. Because if I were to have a podcast or if I were to be in sessions, right, if people invite me to their podcast sessions, I always tell them, okay, I always want to have an insight of what we are talking about before I come. Because I would not just want to -- it’s not everything that, you know, Nigerian, we always want to cut crews. It’s not everything. that is cruise. Like, it should be educated.
0:34A: What does cruise mean? What do you mean?
0:35B: Okay, when you say cruise, like, we make fun out of things. That’s what we call cruise here. Like, they just want to make fun whether important or not important things, right? So people just want to make fun out of a lot of things and shouldn’t be so. So I feel like I would want to start my own podcast because I want to enlighten people about relationships, about their money. Let’s make the money while we are young, you know? But yeah, so we need to be able to put out -- Media, mobile energy. Yeah, all of that. So I feel like bringing in people in tech, in media, in, um, in the fashion industry, art, whatever it is, like I’m bringing platforms that are enlightening people.
0:35B: Oh, if you do this to make money, oh, you could do this, oh, you’re having health issues, oh, you’re depressed, oh, this is, this is someone who was once depressed, this was how they came out of it. Nobody’s judging you. You’re feeling very good. Like, oh, so there’s a platform like this who is not judging me for, for doing this. Oh, oh, I’m not -- oh, you know, you know that time where something that has happened to you and you see someone talk about it, you’re like, damn, I’m not alone. That feeling is so relieving. So picking topics, picking people that have experiences that are relatable, you will be shocked how much of a lifesaver you’ve been to someone listening.
0:35B: Because that -- maybe you just hear someone talk about your story and like, oh wow, so I’m not the only one who went through this. You are eager to want to hear their testimony of that story. So I feel like a good podcast would do that.
2:10A: A good podcast or a talk show or whatever it is would really do that.
