    On October 24th, 2020, my YouTube channel Hardcore Crypto was mistakenly terminated by YouTube for violating community guidelines. The channel is the largest Cryptocurrency channel in Africa and loved by many. One would hope that YouTube would help content creators in this kind of situation but it turns out that they don't care. I've appealed and reached out on Twitter and got no help. Imagine years of work wiped out in a whim for no reason. Just like that. The sad part is that YouTube will never assign a human being to attend to your appeals or complaints, they force you to deal with robots. The mistake I made was overleveraging myself by trusting a third party to host my content. This is a major flaw when using media as leverage online. In this episode, I use this story as an example to discuss the concept of leverage online. Enjoy!

    As the world is coming out of lockdowns and economies are opening up after months of so much uncertainty and severe economic contraction. The coronavirus has destroyed lives, wealth, and opportunities which have left none of us unaffected. It's a new world now, the normal is demanding a change in how we approach all aspects of our daily life and this is no easy task for beings who are conditioned for a certain way of living. Most are hurt, fearful, uncertain, or confused. I decided to catch up with my friend Llewellyn Devereaux, an author and entrepreneur to find out how he coped during these difficult times. I reached out to Lui not only because he has a company which was directly impacted by the lockdown, but also because he is a high energy individual who always has an interesting way of looking at life.  We recorded a series of short episodes focusing on tools we can use to not only survive this season but to thrive too.  Lui recently published his book; The Mastery Code which you can find here.   Enjoy!

    This podcast is brought to you by Divi Project John McAfee is by far one of the most interesting, as well as the most controversial public figures today. He’s a British-American computer programmer and businessman. He founded the software company McAfee Associates in 1987 and ran it until 1994, when he resigned from the company. McAfee Associates achieved early success as the creators of McAfee, the first commercial antivirus software, and the business now produces a range of enterprise security software. The company was purchased by Intel in 2011 and spun back out in 2017 with TPG Capital owning a majority stake, though the software has always borne the McAfee brand name. McAfee's wealth peaked in 2007 at $100 million before his investments plummeted in the financial crisis of 2007–2008. McAfee is also a political activist, who sought the 2016 Libertarian Party nomination for President of the United States in the 2016 election, losing to former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson. John McAfee has become one of the best-known Bitcoin supporters but his story goes far deeper than being a crypto expert. He is considered to be one of the most controversial figures in the world of crypto and technology, with countless ups and downs throughout his life. His life filled with fascinating anecdotes, disputed events, drug abuse, several arrests, and return to the public scene as a well-respected crypto soothsayer and surprising twists that have brought him to where he is now.   In this exclusive with John McAfee, we discussed the following: His early life McAfee Antivirus Software The idea of freedom Loss of his fortune following the 2007 - 2008 economic collapse The reason why he moved to Belize for a while Wealth and responsibilities His experience marrying and with living seven wives His allegations about pumping coins His upcoming movie, King of the Jungle.

    This podcast is brought to you by Divi. In this episode of The Grey Ave Podcast, I interviewed Luvuyo Rani, the Founder and Director of Silulo Ulutho Technologies. Luvuyo and his brother founded their company to provide IT services to their communities. They started in 2004 with a single Internet cafe in Khayelitsha.  In six years, Silulo Technologies grew from a single internet café to a US$0.5 million company that offers computer training courses, internet café and business center services, and IT retail and repair. In the process, they evolved from being township kids selling refurbished computers out of their car to nationally recognized businessmen and role models.  This was a special conversation for me because I am a beneficiary of Luvuyo’s work. I used to go to one of his cafe to access the internet in order to send CVs and download learning material. There was no one else offering this service at the time because the area was considered dangerous for that kind of business.  In this episode, we discussed the following; Luvuyo Rani’s personal background The founding of Silulo Ulutho Technologies How leverage benefits small business entities. Challenges he had to face while starting How he builds relationships with the community he’s working in His personal challenges and how he deals with them
