It was the end of summer 2021. I was seated at my collapsible desk in my apartment in Oakland. The sun filtered in through the blinds of the window to my left. I typed into the small chat at the bottom right of my computer screen. I was excited but tired. I had just finished […]
I’ve been thinking about starting a podcast recently. It wouldn’t be the first time. I’ve started and stopped a podcast twice. One while I was in business school, the other right after I started my first business. The audio artifacts of those interviews live somewhere on soundcloud now. The podcast bug is lurking again. Recently, […]
Words are very impactful. In an 18th century letter, the American writer, scientist, political philosopher, publisher, and one of the founding father of America, Benjamin Franklin, wrote and made the phrase popular: “Death and taxes are the two things certain in life” A lot has changed since then. When I was about to graduate from […]
Writing and doing creative activities can help you build your self-confidence. That’s one of the reason’s I write this weekly letter. Let me take you back a bit.

When I started writing my most recent book, I set up my campaign to write the prequel to my award-winning sci-fi novel. I had thoughts of having a portfolio of books like Octavia Butler.

Speaking of NFTs… I was at VeeConn, an entrepreneurship, web3, and marketing conference hosted by Gary Vaynerchuk, earlier this summer. This was my […]
My fourth book, Musta’s Mixtape, published earlier this week. You see, I never planned on becoming a writer. It just happened. It started off with a business blog. Then a mixtape, then a book, and another one, now a fourth. I can officially claim I’m a writer. Sometimes these definitions can be limiting, you start […]
Just before I get into it, my book, Musta’s Mixtape, is coming out on Amazon this Tuesday, Oct 8th. I’m going to email you out of excitement when it drops. I hope you will support me and get a copy. Now back to it… You see, I once thought entrepreneurship meant risking it all. Before […]
I write these letters to gain clarity and perspective> My hope is to share them with you to help you do the same. I started writing the story for my next book back in the summer of 2022 in a tiny apartment in the 2nd arrondissement in Paris. I’d set 15 minutes aside every morning […]
As I’m gearing up to launch my fourth book. I have spent a lot of hours tying up the loose ends to bring this book to completion. I’ve been writing it for 3 years now. So it’s time to take it over the finish line. I created a spreadsheet with a list of things I […]
