THE  "CATCH UP"  SERIES 5 : ANY  OTHER BUSINESS! !! Hi everyone, trust you are doing great. It's the last Saturday in June and the last lap on The "Catch Up" series. I can't thank you enough for paying attention and following through 🙏. The conversations on this series have been with folks in the design and build Industry from whom I have gleaned enormous value and inspiration. I mean Sam's decision to exit a toxic work environment, Roy choosing fatherhood over adventure, are a few examples of the depth of insights embedded in each of the conversations held, and I'm quite sure you would agree with me. And of course shout out to Kunle, Nosa and Biola for the unquantifiable value they have added to this series as well.

  THE  "CATCH UP"  SERIES 4: THE STICKLERS! !! Hey peeps, Trust this post meets you well, and I guess it's been worthwhile following my conversations with folks in the design and build Industry. I have featured Sam, who represents a clan of fast risers in the industry, and Roy, whose exploit in architecture cuts across different continents of the world. In reference to the introduction of The "Catch up" series, I should have one more person to go, however I had a change of mind 🤔 I decided to make it a trio, featuring 3 amazing folks I have always known to be sticklers on doing things right. Ladies and gentlemen let the drum roll 🥁 for 👇 KUNLE, NOSA AND BIOLA Unlike Kenny who almost always have a change of concept at the slightest brainwave 😄, these dudes overlook the pressures and damn the consequences that comes with doing the right thing. The following slides hold excerpts from my conversations with the aforementioned persons, with each question proceeded...

  THE  "CATCH UP"  SERIES 2: GENERATION NEXT! !! Hi there, trust you are doing great this weekend. It's The "Catch up" series, where I get to share extracts from my conversations with some folks in the design and build Industry, whom I haven't had the privilege to reach out to in a while. I begin with SAM, a representative from a clan of upcoming world class professionals. And here is his Bio 👇 SAM is an interior designer and Archviz artist who blends creativity with technical precision to bring spaces to life.

  THE  "CATCH UP"  SERIES: INTRODUCTION! !!  Hi folks, It's Kenny here again and I welcome you to the sixth month of the year In addition to the blessings you will enjoy from God in June, I also will attempt to make every weekend this month interesting by sharing extracts from my conversations with some folks in the design and build Industry, whom I haven't had the privilege to reach out to in a while, hence The "Catch up" series. I should say at this point that it was tough deciding to proceed with this series, not only because I couldn't meet up with the plan to make this a podcast, but also because I had to streamline the list of names of those to be featured, from over 10 to just 3. I mean that was tough, but thankfully I was able to devise a means to peg the conversations to 3 categories with one person representing each category as personalized by me 👇 #1: GENERATION NEXT My career as an interior designer and project manager spans over a decade wh...
