Supply chain tech and VC specialist Brian Laung Aoaeh, CFA returns for his long-awaited sequel to the laugh-filled first episode. So although we did get serious a few times while discussing the pandemic, laughter was never far behind as it is and will always be a part of our stories. First, we began with confirmation that I was not late to this recording unlike our first recording when all my ancestors, ex-girlfriends, and village people combined to make me late at a record time to my own recording. Such has never repeated itself again, still baffles me to this day. Brian touched on how he and his co-founder Lisa, became a team with their shared interest in the supply chain. Brian would give us more insight into how they were willing to put the supply chain community that they had built to work and save as many lives as possible earlier in the pandemic to no avail. We dived into the West African and by extension African space when it comes to embracing the supply chain (none of us can survive without it). How just by doing the basics of upgrading our infrastructure would be more than beneficial to the host countries, it would be great for neighboring ones too as the supply chain is an economic multiplier if you just get the basics right. Brian also shared how his journey into fatherhood has been going, his culinary tastes haven't reduced, nor has his taste in music. There's a lot more to Brian and I highly recommend that you check out Brian's first appearance on White Label American (Titled "What is Death"). I hope to have him back again as we have so much to talk about. Make sure to check out Brian's article on Freightwave from 2020 on modernizing Africa's logistics capacity (link below).

We kicking off November with a recap of our time in Baltimore at the 5th Afros and Audio Podcasting Festival. There's a question for you at the bottom.

Corey and Weyu (and me too) had the opportunity to attend the 5th Afros & Audio Podcast Festival in Baltimore. In this episode, they will be sharing their key takeaways, personal testimonies, and valuable advice for future participants. Let's dive in and discover what this festival has to offer!

Attending the Afros & Audio Podcast Festival proved to be an enlightening experience for Corey and Weyu. They were able to connect with like-minded individuals and immerse themselves in the world of podcasting. The festival provided a platform for black podcasters of all backgrounds to come together, share insights, and learn from industry experts. One of the major takeaways for Corey and Weyu was the immense value of networking. They had the opportunity to meet and engage with fellow podcasters, industry professionals, and potential collaborators. Building these connections not only expanded their network but also opened doors to new opportunities for growth and collaboration.

Additionally, Corey and Weyu were impressed by the diverse range of workshops and panel discussions offered at the festival. They attended sessions on topics like podcast monetization, audio editing techniques, and effective storytelling. These informative sessions provided them with valuable knowledge and practical strategies that they could apply to their own podcasting journey.

Based on their experience, Corey and Weyu have some advice for future participants of the Afros & Audio Podcast Festival. Lastly, Corey and Weyu encourage participants to embrace the spirit of learning and open-mindedness. The Afros & Audio Podcast Festival offers a unique opportunity to learn from industry experts and fellow podcasters with diverse perspectives. Being open to new ideas, embracing constructive feedback, and continuously seeking knowledge will contribute to personal and professional growth in the podcasting realm.

Question For You:

Reflecting on the discussion, what are some key insights you gained about the podcasting industry and community? How can creators support each other and navigate the challenges they face?

Welcome back to another exciting episode of White Label American! In today's special episode, we have the privilege of hosting three incredible guests from the Nigerian diaspora community in Texas. They will be sharing their past memories and experiences of celebrating Nigeria's independence and reflecting on how those experiences shape their present perspectives. Join us as we explore the intriguing question of whether national pride truly exists or if it's merely a conflation of gratitude for life's experiences. As always, we managed to strike a balance between deep, thought-provoking discussions and lighthearted moments of fun.

We're thrilled to have Nnenna making her second appearance on the show. If you missed her first episode on the End SARS movement, be sure to check it out.

I'm sorry for not releasing an episode last week. Remember Ep 169? It was related to that. I'm excited to release my first solo episode with Grace Nkem (who appeared in Ep 166 & 167). Grace discusses important topics such as her concerns about the impact of AI technology on society and culture, as well as the commercialization of art. We also talk about her passion for pre-Christian, pre-colonial Igbo sculpture and its influence on early abstract painting, and her experiences with art and sculpture collection. Additionally, we delve into the controversial world of modern commercial art, the role of billionaires in the art scene, and share some entertaining personal stories and lighthearted banter. Grace offers a unique perspective that you won't want to miss.

Yes, yours truly is this week's guest. Not only is Ashwin Gopi back in the studio, he also took over hosting duties in order for me to appear as the guest. It was fun to be the guest and I'll be a guest again when I live-stream the 3rd year anniversary episode this Saturday.

This conversation was the official beginning of the 3rd year anniversary celebration. I was expecting Ashwin to hit me with neighborhood questions only, however, Ashwin said nah, and hit me with more amazing questions.

Right from the beginning, I got to talk about what success looks like to me in the podcasting space. Embracing applying for grants, censorship, regulations & propaganda. It got deep and at the same time, we were still our usual satirical selves. Now if the question about restaurants had come before the pandemic, my answer would have been straightforward.

If you have a different take on my answers or would like to bring my attention to some podcasting regulations that I may have missed. Feel free to https://www.whitelabelamerican.com/contact/

Shout-out to Benyi who is about to launch his own podcast for being in the audience and shout-out to all of you who have supported me along the way.
