Bien, Strathmore University & Project Blue Beam - Eric Mutiso & Fareed Khimani | Coffee Pump (E100)

Konnichiwa Fam, We got to 100 Episodes! Appreciate all your support thus far. We're back on this episode with the Trio. Eric Mutiso of @eotwe777 and Fareed Khimani are back for another conversation covering careers, ambition, jealousy, politics, self-improvement, and conspiracy theories. We talk about: • Eric's career transition and why comfort can become dangerous • Building routines, overcoming boredom, and addictive personalities • The Africa Forward Summit and Kenya's role on the global stage • The backlash against Bien performing for President Macron • Colonialism, success, and why some people hate seeing others win • Fareed's Ayahuasca experience and finding purpose • Self-belief, healing, and chasing ambitious goals • The state of podcasting in Kenya and the future of The Trio Podcast • Saj's experience at Strathmore University and leadership training • Safaricom, branding, business strategy, and customer loyalty • Trump, China, global trade, and geopolitics • UFOs, Project Blue Beam, AI conspiracies, and much more As always, the conversation goes completely off the rails at several points. Hope you enjoy the episode.
