Hello, thanks for your interest in what I am doing now.
Writing a ‘short’ book
I’m working on The Antiguide to Living. It’s one of the most risky and most difficult book projects I’ve worked on. You can take a peek into some of the early chapters here.
This is in addition to byDamo.la, the daily-ish blog I write. You can read the latest ones or subscribe to receive them via email here.
Enabling clarity and authentic connection through woow
One of my core beliefs is that the more defining clarity we have, and the more authentic connection we make within and around us, the easier it is to make decisions that ennoble our spirits and solve the biggest challenges facing us.
Some of what has been released at woow include:
One [Question] Today, which sends you a daily question to clarify your thinking and make better decisions.
No fluff, no noise, just one quality question daily. Each question has been helpful for me and the 300+ people who engage with it daily. I hope it’s valuable for you too. Check it out, your first week is on the house.
An array of other tools to aid access to clarity.
Check out woow.
SOME OTHER THINGS
EXPERIMENTING
When responsibility calls, I contribute independently through Curiosity. I used to co-invest in founders and platforms enabling a flourishing future for all. This aspect is passive these days. Curiosity serves as a holding for my creative experiments, collaborative projects, investments, and initiatives that align with my overarching goal of contributing to the long-term future of humanity hinged on flourishing people, platforms, and policy.
PAST TENSE
Sometimes, the experiences from some of the things I had helped build in the past come in handy – both expanding my range and helping to form unique perspectives. I had worked on the ethics and governance of AI initiative at Harvard, rationality community building, and an international standard / recommended practice on the impact of autonomous and intelligent systems on human wellbeing. I used to be a strategist at innovation hubs in Nigeria and co-convened an innovation platform that birthed a million USD investment in fostering innovation in a state in Nigeria.
Until recently, I was COO at a human flourishing media and teaching company (joyinc.xyz) present in the USA, UK, and Nigeria with a mission to build safe, warm spaces across business, government, and culture and equip a new generation of Africans with happiness and flourishing skills. I have been on the founding team since 2017. I still support the good people and ideas at AllforDevelopment, the development organisation I founded and led from 2009 to 2017, contributing to policy, global education, leadership, and human development initiatives.
Most previous adventures can be found here.
