  Today I would like to share a podcast, sorry, another podcast,
• 0:05
  a LinkedIn post that I came across today.
• 0:08
  Well, obviously on LinkedIn, so it was a post by Uraola
• 0:13
  Ogundebe. She's one of my connections and
• 0:17
  she's a senior program advisor. She's into financial inclusion,
• 0:22
  gender responsiveness, SME design, you know, things like
• 0:26
  that. So she put up a podcast as a
• 0:30
  podcast, sorry, forgive me. She put up a post on LinkedIn
• 0:34
  where she spoke a little bit about entrepreneurship, about
• 0:37
  parenting and about female empowerment.
• 0:39
  And I just thought it would be a good idea for the, the ideas
• 0:45
  that she's expressing here to get more, you know, to get more
• 0:48
  amplitude, you know, to have more people here.
• 0:50
  So I'm going to read out her post and just remember that you
• 0:55
  know this is not my own post, this is her own post.
• 0:58
  So this is a woman talking Ura Ogundiper or the full name
• 1:04
  Uraola Ogundiper. So that's how I can find her on
• 1:09
  LinkedIn. Of course Uraola is WURAOLA then
• 1:15
  Ogundiper OGUNDIPE. So let me read the post.
• 1:23
  If your daughter is always selling something, snacks,
• 1:28
  bracelets, hair ties, anything she can convince her classmates
• 1:32
  to buy, please don't silence that.
• 1:36
  I know this looks like a distraction, especially when
• 1:39
  there are exams to pass and a serious future to think about.
• 1:44
  But that brain that's already calculating profit before she's
• 1:47
  even been taught the word? That is not a problem.
• 1:51
  That is a gift. Now let me be honest with you,
• 1:56
  the journey will not always be smooth.
• 2:00
  Business never is. There will be losses, there will
• 2:05
  be moments where things will fall apart, customers who
• 2:09
  disappoint, ideas that don't work out.
• 2:14
  This is not a sign that she should stop.
• 2:17
  That is actually the real classroom, what she needs from
• 2:22
  you. It's not a business plan.
• 2:25
  She just needs to know that you see what she's building and
• 2:28
  you're not going to talk her out of it.
• 2:31
  And if you're a mom running your own business while raising her,
• 2:35
  she's watching you every single day.
• 2:39
  How you handle money, how you recover when things go wrong,
• 2:43
  how you keep on going anyway. No teacher, no course, no mentor
• 2:50
  can replicate that. So to every mom raising a girl
• 2:55
  with a business mind, you are doing something that matters
• 2:58
  more than you realize. Keep on going.
• 3:03
  Was your mom that person for you or are you being that person for
• 3:06
  your daughter right now? Tell me in the comments.
• 3:10
  OK, Well, of course, tell her in her comments.
• 3:14
  So that was the post from URA Ola Ugundiper and if this
• 3:21
  resonates with you, we have an opinion on these sorts of
• 3:25
  matters. You can follow her on LinkedIn.
• 3:27
  And this was the last thing she posted as that today.
• 3:31
  Today is the 25th, 25th of April.
• 3:36
  So if you go over there, you see it and you'll be able to
• 3:39
  interact with her post. So apart from the credentials
• 3:44
  that I read out earlier, Urala Ugundigbeh is also a founder of
• 3:48
  GA Place Limited. It's a financial inclusion and
• 3:54
  women's enterprise development company.
• 3:58
  So the reason why I'm sharing this post is because this is
• 4:02
  serious stuff and it's something we ought to be paying attention
• 4:06
  to. I know that from time to time
• 4:09
  lots of you have heard me being critical about the radical
• 4:13
  Families movement, but which is not to say that they are not
• 4:19
  genuine grievances and that how will I put it?
• 4:25
  There are real problems that need solving and I honestly
• 4:29
  believe that building capacity and entrepreneurial development
• 4:33
  is one of these ways that we can help solve these problems.
• 4:37
  So I'm sharing this post today because a couple of us listening
• 4:41
  to this are parents, not too many of us, because it looks
• 4:44
  like most of the people who listen to the podcast are young
• 4:47
  people between the ages of 18 and 3030 something.
• 4:53
  So I guess I'm sharing this post because I want us to be mindful
• 5:00
  about how we're raising our kids and I want us to be mindful
• 5:03
  about how we're raising our daughters.
• 5:06
  So that's the reason why I'm sharing the post.
• 5:09
  But either way, go on LinkedIn, look for her Uraola Ogontic Bay,
• 5:15
  and yeah, tell her you found out from the podcast and comment on
• 5:21
  the post. By the way, just because I've
• 5:24
  been accused in the past and let me say it now, this is not an
• 5:28
  endorsement. This is not an advertisement.
• 5:31
  This is not a paid sponsorship. This is not a paid nothing.
• 5:35
  I was just chilling on LinkedIn. This thing came up and I thought
• 5:38
  it was important and I thought that I should share it.
• 5:42
  So that's it and that's all for today.
• 5:44
  Apart from connecting with Wura Ogundukbe, if you would love to
• 5:48
  connect with me, you can call me, send me a text message or a
• 5:50
  WhatsApp message on 08064662140. So thanks for your time and
• 5:58
  attention. I'll catch you all some other
• 6:00
  time.
