The Quiet Billionaire

Image
Words come to me fairly easily.  Heading Content with a JV business partner for his own digital design & tech firms, through a B2B relationship, gives me energy. Energy because I get to do what I love. To think both promptly and contemplatively, using words to best achieve clients brand objectives. My business partner himself has an entrepreneurial aggressiveness which has always made our business activities complementary. We share an eagerness to achieve. But back to words.  Some may recall about three year's ago I endeavored writing a book. The framework, story and chapters were all clear. Well into it, perched in a lofty hotel where I daily would head to write, I realised that writing a book is a soul bearing activity for me. Especially when it has very little to do with me.  Once you ink each word there's no real opportunity to turn back. Life and that self imposed limitation led me to pause, wait and then to abandon the book. Themed around the idea of personal ge...

We're OFF OLD

Image
Let me be clear. Off. Old has nothing to do with any brand owning a similar name but does have everything to do with people owning Affordable Luxury items at any point in their consumer journey. The company and various featuring brands are aspirant and is by design to appeal to young males and first-time salaried men. The young male should be able to save his monthly allowance and the first-time salaried male should be able to change his looks often without forgoing other monthly demands. We want students to look good while performing equally great. It's not only good for the moral but gives a sense of owning what you want at any time, while making your money truly work its magic. Off. Old will see collaborations with various persons and different ranges under its banner are where we see ourselves playing in a world where collaboration is key and creative energy remains. See you on the right side of dope. Marica (Logo credit: Moonears @moonearsofficial About:  Canadian ...

Heartfelt Affliction - A poem for women who are abused in one way or in all forms

Image
She cried for help. She screamed but was hushed in by the estate's security.  The neighbours needed her to be abused inside the mansion instead of disturbing a "rich" mans leafy suburb.  A suburb where dogs are treated better than humans and some human's feel kicked and abused like strays. So what is rich? She managed to escape hours of torture to safety where many could have smirked at her but hadn't and her driver wasn't that but instead her friend. Where doctors thanked them for their support and she thank doctors for saving her. The violence was long before his actual. He corroded her mentally and emotionally. Her. A wall which behind her eyes like mystic pools wailed.  How do you wrong someone flawed but wanting right? Raised voices, expectations, hands and hopes. How do you women raise your son. To raise voices, demands and their hands to their women? Afflicted and heartfelt she stood the wall of living embrace.

Treating people medically, Medical Professionals and staying Humane with overburden Systems

Image
I am not someone who ever wants to see myself in a hospital unless God forbid, there's an emergency.  A belief I think most of us share. For me the idea alone of being confined to a space where people are unwell makes me sick.  So having to spend time in a bed knowing so many people are ill is more distressing. But how does one perfect the balance needed to be medically treated and to be out of a space that leaves little room for inspiration. And what about the people tasked to daily help others recover? Virtually answers a lot and medicine is seeing much in the space of online consultation and developments in AI led medical treatments, which is said to have a greater percentage of accuracy. However taking away the human element found in doctors and which we all need when we are vulnerable doesn't make any robot better without a human, humane medical representative. Private medical treatment facilities gives patients the liberty to ask for what they need and when. Delays in se...

Twenty Twenty One

Writing is two things for me. A natural expression when I find I must, or an art I cannot bring myself to naturally as a result of anything unnaturally consuming. Writing is the grey matter I find myself between. When my mind as an over stimulus really wants to have me speak itself through words and between stuff, or simply when so much is happening that I just cannot bring myself to a single word - because of stuff. My Twenty Twenty One new year canvas was slightly unprepared for and arrived in a way I’ll never be used to. Still, here I find you through grey matter. Through expressed words – naturally even in unnatural times. I truly wish us all a year different to the last. Some of the people I respect most are those not tucked neatly in conventional days, ways or lives. In standing up for my own definition of what it means to be living and while it may have cost me conventionally, is one I am ok to be held to with words, no no infact labels, both good and bad alike. May the work you...

The week ahead can never be about the week that was.

Image
  I am a firm believer of looking forward and in moving forward.  When I do reflect its generally to learn or to make correction of what I did not see coming and won't want again. Part of the training has been about years of following various schools of thought. Some briefly and some more consistently. I won’t cling to any one in isolation because knowledge is broad and ultimately the same, maybe just varied in expression. And the expression being the savouring. The purpose of this piece is perhaps to highlight the tenacity needed to move forward post a bunch of things which has affected us all in 2020. “Moving Forward” has also become such an overused, misused and to me, a shallow use of words when simply left at that. Shallow because if the personal work is not done, the effort not applied, the actual intent left undefined to evolve a past, clearly moving forward into a future created -  is without gravitas. Experiencing a Gestalt, that ah-ha moment, can general...

A "no budget" mentality and co-creating with a smart-arse'less approach

  https://marica.co/     As a firm committed to developing for a successful future and for a broader significance beyond business, our past and current activities always keep relevance, efficiency, sustainability and needs-based affordability top of mind with the solutions we develop, represent or consider onboarding. Being human centric we also believe that people are ultimately who we are serving and that the psyche of various demographics remains common regardless of variables. So the decisions and preferred ways to engage, taking a data -tech-people centric approach, makes many of our sector foresights accurate. It's with a deep level of conviction we hold the position that collective consumerism and collective demand will necessitate a collective rethink on how to supply for those needs - in the most humane ways. Also, we don't shy away from the fact that people do not know what they missed till it's presented beautifully, easily, seamlessly. With this, Quality...
