Pitch Journey

“Last month, I made 8 million naira building websites with just AI and no knowledge of coding or WordPress design, just the right prompts"

You'll start seeing comments like:

“Boss, abeg show me the way, I want to be like you”

“Interested"

"God, am I a toothpick?"

"I tap into this"

Next post would be:

“A lot of people have been asking me to teach them how to build websites with just prompts and earn big. I’ll be taking just 15 people in a 2 days private class. Secure your seat now.”

And boom, that’s how the money is made.

Not necessarily from building websites.

But from your desperation to cash out fast.

Here’s the part they won’t tell you:

They’re not always trying to help you grow.

They just want to turn you into a cash cow.

They sell you hope, not reality.

But I’ll tell you the truth:
Tech is not a ponzi scheme. It’s not a shortcut. It’s not a hustle.

It’s a proper field. It requires real learning, time, and consistency.

Yes, AI is powerful and have made life easier.

But even AI needs a skilled hand behind it.

If you don’t understand the work, you’ll still be lost.

No tool can save you from ignorance.

Now let me ask you:

You used 4–6 years chasing a degree you’re not even using.

You showed up to class. Sat through boring lectures. Took exams.

Why can’t you give just 1–2 years of focused learning to a skill that can actually open doors?

If you give tech or any skill you're looking at venturing into that kind of energy, it will pay you back.

But only if you’re honest with yourself and ready to grow.

So stop falling for sugar-coated posts.
Stop looking for fast cash.

And please, stop letting people milk you while hiding the real process.

Tech is not for the lazy. It rewards effort, not excitement.

If you start today and stay consistent, you’ll thank yourself this time next year.

90% of Creators Are Monetizing Backwards.
Yes, I said it.
And some of you might hate this post.
But I’m pouring this Tuesday Tea regardless.

Here’s the truth:
Too many creators focus on virality before they have value.
They chase followers before crafting a clear offer.
They obsess over reach when they haven’t built any real relationships.
And it’s costing them money—real, life-changing, brand-partnering, client-winning money.

Want the uncomfortable tea?
That trending reel won’t feed you unless it leads somewhere.
That follower count won’t sponsor you unless it connects to something sellable.

That aesthetic carousel won’t convert if there’s no story or solution tied to it.

Here’s how I flipped it:
I stopped chasing algorithms and started designing offers
I built a waitlist before I hit 10K
I pitched brands while others were still tweaking their bio
I posted for my community, not for applause

And you know what happened?
I booked five figures with under 5,000 followers.
Because clarity converts. Authenticity attracts. And strategy scales.

If you’re stuck in the content loop—creating non-stop and still broke—pause. Breathe. Pivot.

Your next piece of content shouldn’t just get likes.
It should land you clients, co-signs, or coins.

Monetization isn’t a mystery. It’s a map. And you get to redraw it.
Tea’s hot. I’ve sipped. Your move.

: Is your luxury strategy missing the mark?

Thinking about Gucci's Monili collection – pure genius! It's reinventing tradition with bold vision. That's true luxury.

Building Concorde, my event equity tool, has me challenging 7 luxury myths we need to rethink for Valigeria, Festivities, and Bespoke Activations:

1️⃣ Heritage Only? Legacy matters, but luxury must evolve.
2️⃣ No Digital? Digital done right deepens connection, it doesn't dilute.
3️⃣ Event Ends at Exit? Big miss! Concorde captures pre-to-post, enabling monetization & storytelling.
4️⃣ New Agency Each Time? Leads to chaos. Concorde brings cohesion.
5️⃣ PR-Only Projects? No! Treat them as cultural infrastructure.
6️⃣ Invent Only? Reimagining delivery often beats starting from scratch.
7️⃣ Physical Can't Compete? Presence moves people. Concorde amplifies it.

Alessandra Haggarty, your work inspires me! I see Concorde as the engine for unforgettable moments. My dream: , managing experiences that balance form, function, & feeling—this fall & beyond. Nico Sarti Maira Gazarin

Inspired by Monili's harmony, I hope Concorde brings that same balance to events.

When I talk about AI, I'm not just talking about technology. For me, it's about who gets to be seen, heard, and reflected in the tools shaping tomorrow. I'm constantly asking: what's truly possible when we don't just feel included in the future, but we're actively shaping it?

That's why I am incredibly proud of the entire team at Black Girls Code for launching the Black Beauty AI Challenge in partnership with The Doux! This is a first-of-its-kind opportunity for girls and young women (ages 13–25) to define beauty on their own terms, using AI as their tool for self-expression.

Our team ensures no coding experience is required. Just creativity, authenticity, and a story to tell.

A huge thank you to Maya Smith and Brian Smith for co-creating this powerful platform FOR us, ensuring Black beauty, style, and culture have their rightful voice in this crucial conversation.
The future of AI must reflect the full spectrum of who we all are 💫🦋

to the Ultimate Strategy! 🤯

This incredible throwback video from got me having major throwbacks to Gulder Ultimate Search from Gulder Beer lately! 🍻 As a teenager, this show was absolute appointment viewing – pure adrenaline, strategy, and the thrill of the chase. If it came back, I'd be first in line to set those reminders!

It really makes me appreciate one of the best parts of my job: bringing complex thoughts to reality. Just like those contestants strategizing their next move, I thrive on the challenge of crafting winning plans. You could say, I absolutely love strategy! 🔥

What's your ultimate throwback show that shaped your thinking? 👇

SUU Period Conversation

03/11/2021

A LOT CAN HAPPEN IN UNDER 24 HOURS.
I was in Boston and meeting Ayodele Charles Oguntubi VICE PRESIDENT, GLOBAL STRATEGY, Nigeria Professional Group was a dream come true in company of the President, NPG Kayode Anifowose, PRESIDENT NPG. Kay is a fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria and an alumnus of Bentley University’s McCallum Graduate Business School, Massachusetts.
Ayodele currently works for Philips Healthcare where he masterfully distills complex business strategies/requirements and marketing objectives into elegant and effective digital products and solutions. Ayodele was first runner up for Bank PHB The Intern Reality TV Show.
The Intern was the programme of focus for anyone interested in understanding the intrigues of business and how decisions are made in the boardroom, why one applicant picks up appointment and another turned back, why one employee moves up the corporate ladder while others remain stagnant, and why one employee gets promoted and others get fired.
I was glad to present our Book ‘The Period Passport’ to the organization, The Book is available on Amazon in Kindle, Paperback, Hardcover and on Google, an audio version is available.

- God can answer the prayers of a Sorrowful Jabez and make him indeed honorable IN UNDER 24 HOURS!
- Esther and her people, the Jews, can go from being sold out to be killed to being the Victorious Nation IN UNDER 24 HOURS!

I celebrate you for the under 24 Hours miracle coming your way soonest.
