The year was 2009, I was living in Cape Town. It was the first Wednesday of the month and we were heading to this gig called the kool out lounge.

The spot was a roof top bar called the Waiting Room. (clearly, this room thing has been following me for a while). Since that night, it automatically became my favorite space in Cape Town.

My first time walking in this space was like being transported into Erykah Badu's living room. As I walked in to the space, I heard something I never thought I would ever experience.

A track I had been obsessing over for years was playing in the background. You know, them beats you have only heard come out of your speakers. Them Dilla Joints.

The track was:
"So Far to Go - Common, Feat D'angelo, Prod. By J.Dilla.

and crew were the selecta's. This was the first time I saw someone just play good music, classics, hidden gems that got people loving the vibe.

On the 29th September, years later, I get to share the stage with the man himself in with at Sarabi rooftop bar at , hosted by .

Come ready for some soul as we take it back keeping it exclusively Urban, playing that Frank Ocean, Beyoncé, TLC, Michael Jackson, Usher and so many more joints.

Much love to for setting this up and for supporting the movement 💖

Learning to Say "No."

In the realm of life's lessons, few have challenged me more than the art of saying "No."

My heart and mind, forever drawn to the boundless possibilities that surround us. I extend empathy towards others and their aspirations, often at the expense of my own goals and principles.

However, a new era beckons—a departure from the familiar. A radical shift, an unorthodox journey. A season of "No."

No matter the allure of material gains, no matter the conviction that we are destined to intertwine.

The pivotal question shall be: Does this belong in the tapestry of my life? This intangible experience we have yet to comprehend.

Nothing should dictate your essence and trajectory.

The Power of 1,000✨

As dreamers, we often believe we need an army of millions to achieve success. But here's a secret that can transform your business: the power of "1,000 True Fans". Back in 2008, Kevin introduced this concept, and it's all about finding your tribe and nurturing them into loyal, long-term customers.

Whether you're in the events industry, consumer products, or the digital landscape, the power of 1,000 is within your grasp. By nurturing and engaging with your dedicated tribe, you'll foster personal connections that transcend mere transactions. These 1000 will champion your brand, driving exponential growth and opening doors to new opportunities.

Remember, it's about finding your tribe, delivering exceptional value, and building lasting relationships, as highlighted in Tim Ferriss' captivating book, "Tools of Titans." It's a game-changer for dreamers and doers alike.

Pole good people I have been mia. Had the worst flu in history. But it gave me time to try out a new style. Hope you like it.

For now, Welcome. Today, we're going to talk about a crucial aspect of branding: the brand platform.

A brand platform is essentially the foundation upon which a brand is built. It defines the brand's purpose, values, mission, and positioning in the market. It's what differentiates it from its competitors.

Now, why is the brand platform such an important step in the branding process? Well, simply put, it sets the tone for everything that follows. Without a clear and well-defined brand platform, a brand can come across as unfocused and inconsistent, which can turn customers and even employees off.

Hey there, brand aficionados! Let's talk about the art of brand positioning and why it's crucial for brands to think outside the box. As marketing guru Marty Neumeier highlights in his book "Zag: The Number-One Strategy of High-Performance Brands," it's all about standing out from the competition.

Take Liquid Death, for example. These guys have skyrocketed in just a few years, leaving other beverage brands in the dust. How did they do it? By daring to be different! They tapped into the uncharted territory of health-conscious folks who wanted the image of energy drinks or alcohol but without the downsides. Talk about a genius idea!

With their infinitely recyclable aluminum cans, heavy metal-inspired marketing, and rebellious vibe, Liquid Death has quickly amassed over 1 million social media followers and achieved a jaw-dropping $700 million valuation. They've disrupted the status quo and reshaped the beverage industry by targeting the right audience in a smart and innovative way.

In today's world, opportunities for brands abound in disrupting the norm and capturing the hearts of consumers who crave something fresh and exciting. So, fellow brand enthusiasts, remember that brand positioning is the soul of your business strategy. Be bold, be different, and zag while others zig!

Cheers to Liquid Death for showing us how it's done! 💀🔥

Words hold immense power in shaping our perceptions and understanding of the world. If we want to create a shift in how people comprehend our brand, we need to conduct a word audit.

Have you taken a deep dive into the way you communicate your concepts and ideas? It's crucial to ask ourselves if our messaging is crystal clear or if it's shrouded in ambiguity.

Simple ideas are the ones that spread like wildfire, igniting minds and sparking change. Just think about the influential writers throughout history who have transformed the world with their ideas.

From the poetic prose of Shakespeare to the incisive rhetoric of Martin Luther King Jr. or spell casters the like James Baldwin, words have the power to move mountains.

Their ideas were expressed with precision, resonating with people on a profound level. They understood that the key to spreading knowledge lies in simplicity and clarity.

So, channel your inner wordsmiths and craft your messaging with charm and finesse. Pivot your approach and shift your perspective to truly understand and imagine the impact of your words. Ensure that your concepts are communicated in a way that captivates and inspires.

Because when our words are wielded with intention and artistry, they can create a tidal wave of transformation. Are you ready to unleash the magic of language and revolutionize how your brand is understood?

Let's make it happen!

New Experiments

Been messing around with design tools all year, a flash back from my past as a oil canvas painter. Really missed this way of expressing, creating silent layers with a voice. I'm hooked all over again. Lots more to come.

Confucius had a great saying that every man has two lives, and the second starts when he realizes he has just one. Keep it simple, leave hanging in the corridor and enter a room. You choose a life that matters to you.

When the colour hits...

11/10/2021

Lately I have been thinking about relationships and how they can shape our destiny. How one meeting with a person can reshape your whole life.

It's not easy finding the right person let alone a person you can grow with. It's a tale as old as time.

The truth is, there is no right person. There is just that person you choose to stand with, the one that shows up for you, that shows you the mirror and unravels you. The one that allows you to dream higher to make this life and turn it into gold. It's the reason why we call them partners.

From what I understand, It takes more then love, it takes vision to form a union. It take heart to love, courage to be believe and wisdom to trust after healing.

You come to find in all our differences, we can walk the same path.

To all my friends that have taken the journey with a partner, my you be blessed. Trust, love is a beautiful thing ...🌞🌛
