After retiring from the daily show in 2021, Kojo Nnamdi thought he would finally write his memoir in peace. Instead, station management offered him a part-time role hosting the weekly Politics Hour. That semi-retired structure turned out to be a gift. “I now describe myself as semi-retired,” he said. “It gave me a place to go every day… and that helps a lot.” He contrasted his experience with his father's retirement in Guyana, which led to inactivity, a stroke, and an early death. “I learned a significant lesson… about what not to do in retirement.”Listeners meet:A longtime telephone repairman who doodled shoes in high school and later became a professional shoe designer.Two retired New York air traffic controllers who took usher jobs at Madison Square Garden — trading control towers for hockey crowds and Rangers fandom. “We are essentially doing the same job… telling people where to go,” they joked. The role gave them free games, star-player encounters, and a vibrant new social circle.Mary Kay Fleming (interviewed before her passing), who described aging as a “crisis” of shrinking social circles and changing bodies — then showed how contributing to the world and finding what makes you feel alive can transform it.Nnamdi emphasized a common thread: vulnerability. None of the guests positioned themselves as instant experts. “They were all very vulnerable in the mistakes that they made and how they accidentally stumbled into something that gave them purpose, passion, and connected them to community,” Gurney noted.The conversation repeatedly returned to three big ideas that resonate deeply with anyone navigating life after 50 or 60:Stay curious. “Curiosity is what I think is the key to the future after we have retired,” Nnamdi said. He urged listeners to revisit old hobbies or volunteer — “You will meet people and you will find new environments in which you might become extremely proficient and find that you might actually love being in those environments.”Transform fear into excitement. Many guests admitted initial terror (one man hesitated to return to school for shoe design; the swimmer felt visceral panic when the water turned black under the bridge). But pushing through turned fear into energy. Nnamdi linked this to a deeper truth: the fear many retirees feel most is death. Staying engaged crowds out that fear. “If we have something to do that is of interest to us, we don't think a great deal about the hereafter.”Build community. Radio and podcasts create intimate, one-on-one trust. Nnamdi shared a wild story from his early WHUR days: a man bicycled into the station and confessed murders to a veteran DJ because “he'd been listening to me on the radio for years and he considered me his closest friend.” The same intimacy happens in Young at Heart — and in Positive Aging Community discussions. “The people who listen to this podcast are a part of a community who have shared interests,” Nnamdi observed.He also praised WAMU's old "In Your Community” events, where listeners from vastly different neighborhoods discovered they faced the same concerns. “They brought out commonalities that people have.”Young at Heart is available on WAMU.org, NPR, and major podcast platforms. New episodes are in the works.Want to share your own reinvention story? Visit the official form at wamu.org/young-at-heart As Nnamdi and Kaufman prove, the best stories often come from ordinary people who simply decided to try something new.In closing, Nnamdi quoted the old saying with a smile: “It ain't over till it's over.” Whether you're sketching shoes on the side, ushering at hockey games, swimming under bridges, or simply showing up curious every day, the message is clear: retirement isn't an ending — it's an invitation to a new beginning.Tune in. Submit your story. And remember — your next chapter might just be the best one yet.Listen now: wamu.org/show/young-at-heart Share your story: wamu.org/young-at-heart-share

Kurz vor dem Freitagskracher gegen Borussia Dortmund spricht Nnamdi Collins im Podcast nicht nur über das Wiedersehen mit seinem Ex-Verein. Schließlich hat das vergangene Jahr einige Ups und Downs für den Verteidiger mit sich gebracht. Was ihm besonders viel Spaß gemacht hat, was ihm über schwierige Phasen hinweggeholfen hat und was er und die Mannschaft sich für 2026 vorgenommen haben, schildert der bald 22-Jährige im Gespräch mit Lars Weingärtner und Marc Hindelang.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into the man behind the mic and the work behind the purpose: Who is Nnamdi E.S. Okoye? Listeners are introduced to Nnamdi's journey as both a podcaster and a CBT therapist, exploring how his lived experience, cultural awareness, and professional training uniquely shape his voice in the podcasting space.The conversation unpacks what sets Nnamdi apart — his ability to blend music, mental health, and meaningful conversation with authenticity and empathy. As a therapist, Nnamdi brings a trauma-informed, compassionate lens to every discussion, creating spaces where guests feel safe to tell their stories and listeners feel seen and understood. As a podcaster, his curiosity, respect for legacy, and commitment to truth allow for deeper conversations that go beyond headlines and surface-level narratives.This episode also highlights how Nnamdi's work bridges communities, challenges stigma around mental health, and shows the power of storytelling as a tool for healing, reflection, and growth. Whether you know him from his interviews, his therapeutic work, or both, this episode offers a powerful insight into why Nnamdi E.S. Okoye is not just a host — but a connector, listener, and guide.

Submarine and A Roach — Nigeria's funniest podcast and the #1 comedy podcast in Nigeria — presents “We Must Credit Nnamdi Kanu & Mr Eazi for Detty December,” hosted by TMT & Koj.A quick Yoruba linguistics lesson kicks things off (“Ten is happening,” decoded), before the boys audit Detty December's origin story: did Nnamdi Kanu inadvertently shift December migration patterns—and did Mr Eazi brand the season by popularising “Detty” through his many Detty events?They trade receipts, timelines, and jokes, then price-check the present: Lagos Airbnb listings touching $9,000 for 11 nights, plus a playful side quest blaming Maleek Berry's “Eko Miami” for the city's glossy rebrand.Finally, Spotify Wrapped enters the chat—Koj pulls a youthful Spotify “age” of 22, TMT clocks in at 73—and they dive into their top artists for 2025 before closing on a Nollywood riff inspired by the just-concluded S16 movie festival.It's Yoruba lessons, Detty December origins, Afrobeats, rap music, Spotify Wrapped, and Nollywood—served with signature Submaroach mischief.

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.

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.

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.
