The White Man, Vasco da Gama & Rolex Sky Dwellers - IQ WATSON | Coffee Pump (E071)

Konichiwa Fam and Happy New Year! We’re kicking off 2026 with a big one. For our first episode of the year, I’m joined by the man himself, @iqwatson. This one was meant to be online, but IQ surprised me and flew down to Kenya for the episode. Absolute legend. In this episode, we get into: - The reality behind the American dream - Why the process matters more than the outcome - Working double shifts and building from nothing - Finding niche markets and delivering 10x service - The differences between Kenyan and US consumer culture - Masculinity, discipline, and building a solid foundation first This is probably our longest episode yet, with a lot of wisdom packed in. I really enjoyed this conversation and I think you will too.
