The guys discuss the Ravens awful pass rush so far and even more worries with Nnamdi Madubuike's health.

Nolan McGraw is becoming concerned with the Ravens chances of being top tier AFC team because of Nnamdi Madubuike's neck injury. Is he the one piece that they can least afford to lose on defense?

The guys discuss the embarrassing showing by the Ravens defense last night.

The Ravens have already ruled out four players for tonight's game against the Lions. Nnamdi Madubuike did not practice all week and the nature of his neck injury sounds relatively unknown right now. Bob and Vinny discussed Baltimore's chances without one of their top defensive pieces.

Nnamdi Madubuike is off to a fast start this year after being given a ton of double-team attention in 2024. Vinny Cerrato loves what he's seen so far and thinks he could end up being the top guy when the season comes to an end.

You don't need a Stanford degree or a flashy deck to raise a pre-seed, seed or Series A, but you do need to show investors that you've put in the work. 645 Ventures co-founder Nnamdi Okike shares practical advice for founders who are prepping to raise capital, including what he looks for in pitch meetings, how to uncover “earned secrets,” and why chasing hot categories can backfire. We also dig into how 645 uses outbound sourcing and proprietary software to spot overlooked talent — and what it really takes to stand out if you don't fit the typical founder mold.

We speak to Nigerian author NNAMDI CHIEKWU, a millenial who explains why he's angry and what he plans to do about it. Basically, Nnamdi says he is hugely disappointed with the generations who came before him who have left the African continent in such bad shape that he and his cohort need to lead 'a technocratic revolution' in order to revive its fortunes. He's scathing of earlier generations: 'Why didn't they take up the fight? They didn't have the courage. They wanted to ...ingratiate themselves into a western-led world. They had no confidence...in what...an African-led world looked like.'There's so much to do in a very short time. NNAMDI believes that Africa has a mere 5 years in which to turn itself around or face dire and irreversible consequences. 'We've reached our last chance as Africans, as civilisations. And that last chance is 2030' he says.NNAMDI feels so strongly that he's written a book ' AFRICA ON THE PRECIPICE' in which he lays out his theory of Afro-hegemony - a time when Africa and its peoples will dominate global affairs. But in order to reach that state of greatness, Africa's sub-Saharan nations have to come together as one in a kind of loose federation, Nnamdi says. 'The first thing that needs to happen...is that what we call African countries and governments are really colonial constructions....they were never intended for African innovation, liberation let alone dominance....they have to be collapsed.'NNAMDI puts the case for his generation: '..When we millennials look at the Africa we've inherited, we're saying, why are we listening to you? You people are lost. You don't have a direction. You don't have a plan for us. So we're going to take the power.'In NNAMDI's plan of action, out goes the Africa Union (AU) and in would come the African Defence and Advancement Federation - 'a technocratic entity that is dedicated to the defence and advancement of Africans'.NNAMDI acknowledges that the vast majority of Africans are more concerned with their daily struggles with poverty to buy into his plan, but, he believes, there's a 5% critical mass that is ready. His book, AFRICA ON THE PRECIPICE, is Nnamdi's blueprint. 'History is replete with civilisations that have disappeared...Native Americans, Aborigines, Afro Argentines...none of them know when their end was beginning.'AFRICA ON THE PRECIPICE, by Nnamdi Chiekwu is available on Amazon. It's in audiobook form on Spotify.Find out more about Nnamdi on his website: https://nnamdichiekwu.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode of The Geek in Review, we welcome Feargus MacDaeid and Nnamdi Emelifeonwu, co-founders of Definely, to discuss how their shared experiences as practicing lawyers shaped a groundbreaking accessibility solution for contract review. Feargus, who is visually impaired, and Nnamdi, his former colleague at Freshfields, describe how their friendship and professional collaboration led to a tool designed not only for those with disabilities but for all attorneys grappling with voluminous transactional documents. Listeners learn that Definely began as a way to help Feargus navigate complex contracts more efficiently, and through iterative prototyping, evolved into a productivity suite that addresses universal pain points in the pre-execution stages of contract life cycles.Feargus explains that his journey to co-founding Definely began with personal necessity: having gone blind from a degenerative condition by his early twenties, he pivoted from a computer science career at Microsoft to law school, relying on assistive technology and immense personal support. Once at Allen & Overy, the limitations of existing tools became starkly apparent—searching for defined terms meant losing one's place in a 300-page agreement and juggling layers of nested definitions by reading aloud via text-to-speech. The cognitive load was immense. By collaborating with Nnamdi, who recognized that if a solution could serve Feargus, it would benefit everyone, they embraced the principle of “designing for the edge”—creating a platform that brought definitions, clauses, and cross-references into context without interrupting a lawyer's focus.Nnamdi takes listeners on a tour of Definely's three core components: Vault, Draft, and Proof. Vault functions as a dynamic repository for templates, clauses, and precedent documents, enabling users to pull in the most relevant resources from connected document management systems. Draft keeps the user anchored in the current clause while instantly displaying any linked provisions or schedules in a sidebar, eliminating the need to scroll, split screens, or flip between pages. Proof automates common pre-signing checks—verifying cross-references, punctuation, and legal grammar—to ensure a polished final draft. Together, these tools exemplify how Definely streamlines contract creation by surfacing precisely the needed information in a lawyer's line of sight, thereby maintaining context and reducing manual navigation.The conversation shifts to quantifying Definely's impact on law firms. Nnamdi cites a study indicating that attorneys save up to 45 minutes per day—roughly a 90 percent reduction in time spent on tedious tasks—by using Definely's context-aware navigation. Beyond hard metrics, the founders emphasize “soft benefits” such as reduced cognitive fatigue, higher morale, and improved client value. To capture these less tangible gains, Definely's customer success team works closely with firms to customize usage dashboards and collect feedback. Feargus and Nnamdi also reflect on the broader legal tech landscape, noting that firms are experimenting with in-house development, acquisitions, and partnerships. They believe collaboration between vendors and firms will ultimately prevail, as specialized expertise in areas like machine learning ops and user experience is hard to cultivate internally and essential for maintaining cutting-edge tools.Listen on mobile platforms:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[Special Thanks to ⁠Legal Technology Hub⁠ for their sponsoring this episode.]Blue Sky: ⁠⁠@geeklawblog.com⁠⁠ ⁠⁠@marlgeb⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: geekinreviewpodcast@gmail.comMusic: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jerry David DeCicca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Episode 146: From Actor to Therapist—Reclaiming Identity & Embracing Self-Energy with Adeshola Nnamdi, LMFT What does it look like to live with deep intention—and how can our past lives, creativity, and cultural roots shape the therapists we become? In this episode of The Innovative Therapist Podcast, I had the absolute pleasure of talking with Adeshola Nnamdi, MA, LMFT—an actor who made a pivot into clinical psychology and psychotherapy, is IFS-trained, and deeply passionate about storytelling, healing, and identity. Shola is the first male guest on the podcast—and the first to serenade us too! We covered so much in this heartfelt, funny, and powerful conversation: Shola's journey from acting to therapy Why he changed his name to honor his Nigerian roots What creativity and presence really look like in therapy His experience with Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) How therapists can reclaim joy, connection, and authenticity in their work From the Stage to the Therapy Room Before becoming a therapist, Shola had a rich acting career—appearing in many films and on television, including on a hit NBC sitcom called The Single Guy that aired between Seinfeld and Friends, working with Spike Lee (check out the video just below this paragraph!), and even hanging out at Saturday Night Live. But despite his outward success, he found himself burnt out, disconnected, and chasing applause rather than purpose. Eventually, through sobriety and soul-searching, he found a new path: one rooted in service, meaning, and connection. “What would my life look like if I stopped seeking validation and just trusted?” Therapy as Art: The Performance of Presence Shola's artistic background deeply informs his work as a therapist. He describes therapy as a kind of performance art—not because we're faking it, but because we're bringing our full selves into the room and responding in real time. “Bad acting is pushing… having an agenda. That can happen in therapy too.” IFS, in particular, allowed him to slow down, be present, and trust in both his clients and himself. Instead of working from parts that strive or fix, he now leans into the power of Self-energy—and it's transformed his clinical work. Why He Changed His Name—and What It Means Shola also shares the powerful story of changing his name from Shawn Michael Howard to Adeshola Nnamdi, a decision rooted in personal healing and cultural reclamation. After George Floyd's murder and years of reflection, he realized he no longer wanted to carry a name passed down from a history of enslavement. “I didn't want to die with a slaveholder's name on my tombstone.” The name Adeshola means “he brings prosperity” and Nnamdi means “my father lives.” It's a name he carries with honor, intention, and power. Creativity, Joy, & the Therapist's Zone of Genius We also explored how creativity plays a crucial role in the therapist's life—not just through hobbies, but through presence, flexibility, and flow. “We're creating in there. It's art.” Shola's Zone of Genius is connection. Whether on stage or in the therapy room, he brings joy, attunement, and aliveness to the people around him. He's passionate about helping others do the same—both professionally and personally. Want to Feel More Alive in Your Work? If you've ever questioned your career path, felt boxed in by your therapist role, or longed to bring more you into your work—this episode is for you. Looking for a Therapist in California or Arizona? Shola offers individual, couples, and group therapy and brings warmth, wisdom, and a strong grounding in both EFT and IFS.

If a team hasn't built a minimum viable product, secured paying customers, or demonstrated strong unit economics, what exactly are seed-stage investors betting on? To get some answers, I sat down with Nnamdi Iregbulem, a partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners, to discuss what drives seed valuations, the traits of successful founders, and his perspective on AI startups. “A lot of the pitches that I get are basically two people, a PowerPoint deck, and their dog,” Nnamdi told me during our conversation in October 2024. Nnamdi shared his journey from coding as a kid to investment banking at JP Morgan, growth-stage investing at Iconiq Capital, and now helping early-stage founders at Lightspeed. He explains why seed valuations often reflect the opportunity cost of the founding team more than traditional factors like interest rates or public market comps, and highlights the rising costs of GPUs and AI talent as critical considerations. We also explored the traits that set exceptional founders apart — like strong domain expertise, adaptability, and demonstrated excellence — and why inference-based AI startups may have an edge over those focused on training new models. For aspiring VCs, Nnamdi offers practical advice on developing domain expertise, building a network, and honing the skills needed to evaluate companies effectively. Whether you're a founder, investor, or simply curious about the startup ecosystem, this episode is packed with actionable insights.   RUNTIME 33:24 EPISODE BREAKDOWN (2:24) “ I was the first-born son of two Nigerian immigrants who really badly wanted me to be a doctor.” (6:17) “ I was sort of like, ‘what do I know about early-stage companies?' I never worked in a startup.” (8:50) The day-to-day work Nnamdi does with the founders in Lightspeed's portfolio. (11:13) He explains why seed valuations aren't valuations. (13:31) “ The only characteristic… that had any real predictive value was the opportunity cost of the founder.” (16:43) “ Coming from a large and stable big tech company is not the positive signal that it used to be.” (17:32) The weights and measures he uses to assess seed-stage founders. (19:33) When domain expertise is (and is not) useful. (20:53) How he evaluates technical vs. non-technical founders. (24:16) “A lot of the pitches that I get are basically two people, a PowerPoint deck, and their dog.” (25:18) How to pitch Nnamdi directly. (26:21) Setting valuations is “ more driven by the founders than it is by us.” (29:33) His advice for anyone who wants to break into venture capital.

In this episode of the Closers Klub, I had the pleasure of sitting down with real estate investor Nnamdi Okwereku. Nnamdi got his start in real estate at just 23 years old after learning about it in college. He jumped right into the game, flipping his first property for $70,000 profit, then transitioning into wholesaling, and now, at 26, continues to grow his portfolio as an investor. We dive deep into what it takes to overcome fear at a young age, the lessons Nnamdi learned from his early deals, and how he's adapted to thrive in the real estate world despite the challenges. Nnamdi also shares why it's critical for champions to adapt and the strategies he's used to keep scaling his business against the odds. If you're looking for inspiration to get started in real estate, this episode is full of valuable insights and motivational advice from someone who's making it happen at a young age. #ClosersKlub #NnamdiOkwereku #RealEstateSuccess #YoungInvestors #Wholesaling #FlippingHouses #OvercomingFear #Adaptation #RealEstateJourney #BusinessGrowth #RealEstateInvesting Tune in to hear Nnamdi's story and learn how you too can overcome fear and achieve success in real estate!

Kim tells the infamous D, aka her boyfriend Nnamdi, about Hereditary, while Ket is in the UK trying to figure out how to move her cat children there. Kim is starting a petition to demand Toni Collette receive a retroactive Oscar for this role, while D is starting a demon union to get workers' rights in hell. Also, we learn that D is safe from hauntings and possessions because he would bore the ghosts and demons away by asking them too many questions. Most importantly, we'll learn if D will live or die in Hereditary.
