The trip of Ten Lifetimes as my Bishop would say. This episode is an audio diary compiled with clips reflecting on each day. An amazing journey full of faith, fellowship, discovery, culture, history, closure, and inspiration. Many thanks to the Bishop, First Lady, travel agents, Away to Africa team, tour site hosts, vendors, and many others for being so coordinated & hospitable. (Perhaps the pod. should be renamed to No Strings Podcast with KWEKU ABAYIE!)

Life gets dirty. You always have to clean the kitchen & bathroom, do laundry, tidy the bedroom, cleanse the mind, and so on. The same applies to your financial life. I provide tips and reminders so you can declutter for the better. It’s time for the Mr. Clean/Pine-Sol/Clorox/Swiffer/Fabuloso treatment.

The 80/20 Rule asserts that a minority of causes, inputs, or efforts usually lead to a majority of the results, outputs, or rewards. (Source: theangelfirm.com). On this episode I refer to articles that provide background to this rule (as to how it can apply to your finances, relationships, and more). I then ask you (the listener) random questions about 80/20 that may or may not apply to your life.

Don't panic - or get yourself in a tizzy. We live in a more bold and ambitious society where normal is old news. Always remember that steady income is reliable income (and reliable income is steady income). I provide thoughts on the positives with having a "9 to 5 Job".

Lists are created to be criticized. That’s what I do to the first date list that circulated around the internet in Fall 2023. I agree, disagree, and try to make sense of all twenty-eight (28) date ideas/locations on this list.

Organized retail crime (ORC) has occurred across the country over the past few months. From the northwest to the midwest and east coast, no retailer is safe from it. This new trend of committing crimes in packs is often fueled by social media. I dive into what has occurred in certain cities, plus the ramifications of such actions.

I took day trip to New York City. My first NYCC exceeded expectations. What a memorable experience that requires multiple days to soak in everything. The art. The memorabilia. The cosplay. The crowds.

(Shout outs to: the homie Jon from college who tagged along with me; WWE Hall of Famer Ted DiBiase for the photo op and autograph print; David Nakayama for the autographed art print.)

"Tipping Culture" is hotly debated, but neccessary. How much you decide to offer is ultimately your personal preference. I react to three different articles (adapting to change, business structures, and racism) regarding the matter.

...may keep the the doctor away, but that's not even my angle here. An Apple a Day keep the COMPETITORS away. I touch on Apple's dominance into the technology market; gauge how loyal you are willing to be for them; wonder if the company has taken over many aspects of our lives yet; and ask about one asset you may not even own yet from them. A brief, "No-Strings" dive into the nearly $3 Trillion dollar company.

I share three mistakes and regrets I have made financially over the years and reflect on the lessons learned. I then opine on Giannis Antetokounmpo's response to a reporter's question on failure from the 2023 NBA Playoffs. The words "mistake, regret, and failure" allow for a larger commentary on viewing life from a different perspective.

Laissez les Bons Temps Rouler! Let the Good Times Roll! The CYAM (Connectional Young Adult Ministry) held its retreat this year in New Orleans. The slogan for the event was “W.T.F. 2023” (Word. Truth. Free). I interviewed the president of the CYAM, Ms. Tiffanie Thompson (at the 3:30 mark). She shared her thoughts on the state of the young adult ministry as a whole and the direction it should be headed. I then give my overall impressions of the retreat (at the 43:00 mark). Enjoy!

I examine the dangers and consequences that comes with credit cards and debt. I also offer an optimistic take in regards to taking advantage of the perks and rewards that come with them. This is truly a Jekyll and Hyde episode. For those in that debt bubble, my monologue begins around the 3:55 mark. For those comfortably out of debt, I dive into more detail at around 19:40.
