#63: Reflections on a Year of Awakening, AI, Teargassed baddies Trumping Must Goes and more!

The awesome foursome is back for a year review! Kamande and Kigondu are joined by their good friends Veronica Waceke and Byron Sitawa for a review of the year that was. The good, the bad, the ugly, the inspirational, the aspirational and the absurd! From the year’s live gigs locally and around the globe to science, sports and beyond the four explore lessons, expansions, contractions and innovations. From Rapcha, Dave Chapelle, Faith Kipyegon, AI, Sanctuary, Watendawili, Must Go and so on, the episode covers observations from the tech ecosystem, entertainment, politics and more. Making room for observations from their paths as well, the quartet reflect on pockets of gratefulness in their individual lives; from Byron’s long drives with wifey, Ceke’s work behind the scenes, Kigondu’s reflections on ease and Kamande’s journey internally. Besides reunions in maandamano, missed opportunities, SHI, shifts, AI implications, our country’s existential crisis, this episode goes in on promising possibilities, purpose, perspective, the power of unity and fully believing and becoming who you really think you are!
