  Funeral Startups, Retiring At 45 & The Moon Landing Fight - Joab Ogato | Coffee Pump (E119)

  Aug 16, 20262h 46mS1

  Konnichiwa Fam, On this episode Joab Ogato from ​⁠The Couch Connect Podcast comes through, and it turns into one of the most chaotic conversations we've had. He's an assistant professor at McMaster working on his second PhD in regenerative medicine, he sold every stock in his name to buy SpaceX on day one, and he retires in 2035 whether the numbers work or not. We also spent a good half hour arguing about 9/11 and the moon landing, and nobody won. We talk about: – Expensive mediocrity and why everything average here gets sold to you as elite – Getting scammed and why Sajid never pays anything up front – Funeral businesses, the casket camera subscription and other terrible startup ideas – Why muscle for hire is now available to anyone, not just politicians – Causing the problem and funding the solution: how cartels keep systems broken – From fighting teachers in grade five to regenerative medicine at McMaster – Growing tissue for transplant and what that field actually pays – Canada's 50% tax bracket and the corporation workaround – Why he sold everything and put it all into SpaceX – Dividend ETFs, why he stopped stock picking, and detaching emotion from money – Retiring at 45 and the number he needs to do it – Dubai, Bitcoin, gold, and where money actually leaves this continent – Marriage, kids, and why he says wait a few years – The 9/11 argument that split the room – The moon landing argument that split it again Hope you enjoy the episode.

  Aug 11, 20262h 11mS1

  Konnichiwa! On this episode I sit down with Moses Kemibaro, one of the people who actually built Kenya's internet industry. He got his first computer at 11, was selling internet connections in Mombasa before most people knew what it was, started what became OLX in East Africa, and got hired by a global company purely off the strength of his blog. We also get into the morning he opened his laptop to find his entire team had resigned overnight. We talk about: – Growing up in Mombasa and watching his dad rebuild from nothing after the East African Community collapsed – Why parents create a world for their kids but don't build them for the world – Getting a ZX Spectrum at 11 and being told to build the games instead of buying them – Selling prawns to Tamarind out of a Suzuki and realising he could sell – Living in the British Council when the money ran out – The early ISP days, Africa Online and how rugby got him hired – Three Mice, Dotsavvy and the birth of Kenya's web industry – The Squad Digital raid: losing his clients and then his entire team in one week – Whether there's any pride in poverty when someone triples your salary – How a blog he wrote for free got him headhunted by Naspers – Undercharging himself and learning what international companies actually pay – Building Dealfish into what became OLX and then Jiji – InMobi, moving to India, imposter syndrome and getting cut ten months later – Toxic leadership at Opera and the day he decided to leave – Turning a personal brand into a business funnel – The ride-hailing minimum fare fight nobody is asking customers about – Why he thinks most business leaders still don't see what AI is about to do to them Hope you enjoy the episode.

  Violence For Hire, Goon Economy & Odipo Dev - Odanga Madung & Darius Okolla | Coffee Pump (E117)

  Aug 7, 20261h 53mS1

  Konnichiwa Fam, On this episode Odanga Madung comes back and brings Darius Okolla, head political economist at Odipo Dev, and we spend most of it on the research nobody else in Kenya is doing. They spent a year inside the goon ecosystem, and what they found is that violence here is now a product with a demand side, a supply side, middlemen and a pricing structure. We also get into why Kenya was once the happiest country on earth, why everything here costs too much for what it is, and what the polls actually say about 2027. We talk about: – Why democracy works better at county level than most Kenyans think – Devolution, who pushed for it, and whether it multiplied corruption or spread access – Kenya as the happiest country in the world in 2003, and civil unrest five years later – Expensive mediocrity: paying showroom prices for an eight-year-old car – Why your taxes buy you nothing while you pay privately for everything – The Rironi-Mau Summit road, SGR incentives and Dangote's refinery – Pending bills, and how your tax money ends up paying goons – Violence as a commodity: pricing, middlemen and mobilisation over WhatsApp – Why a job doesn't stop a goon from being a goon – Identity activation, masculinity and the femicide research that led them here – Cecil Otieno's death and how close goons have gotten to power – Mungu Leta, retail violence and what happens after the election money dries up – Whether Kenya's creative economy is actually worth anything – Ruto's 2027 odds, a divided opposition and what Gen Z voters do next Hope you enjoy the episode.
