“Things are bad... And in comes this guy with an incredible track record. He’s not saying, ‘I will.’ He’s saying, ‘it’s been done.’ Go and verify.” - Obinna Ofor. Nigeria is a mess. Nigerian politics is a mess. But for the first time in forever, a credible candidate has emerged from the mud to give hope to the hopeless. Is it false hope, fool's gold, or fresh optimism?

"Telling your story is the secret to survival." - Rodney. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie once spoke about the danger of a single story, but what about the danger of an untold story? Rodney tells the origin story behind his 'main character' syndrome, while threading the needle of his past experiences and present personality. This episode is about the story we tell ourselves about ourselves, the story we choose to tell others, and how it can make or break us.

The Young God - F*ck Your Feelings/Superior Emotions
play

10/18/24 • 40 min

"'Trust your feelings!' - but you haven't done the work, you're not at peace, you're not self-aware, you're not emotionally intelligent."

Emotions are tricky things. Especially strong ones. If you don't have the requisite mastery of them (emotional intelligence), they will ruin you. They will f*ck you up. Rodney continues his exploration of emotional intelligence as he gives a glimpse into the deep work that goes into developing it intentionally. Through his signature use of analogies, original ideas, and a personal story, Rodney weaves a compelling monologue about all the ways your emotions can work for and against you.
