    After 3 failed marriages & hitting rock bottom, i discovered a framework that works w/ Frank Mesa

    After 3 failed marriages & hitting rock bottom, Frank discovered a framework that works. Most people don’t have a decision system, and it’s costing them their health, relationships, and peace of mind. Frank Mesa - author, speaker, leadership strategist, and creator of the ERD framework - reveals the simple filter he built after surviving childhood trauma, repeated failed marriages, addiction, and a near-suicidal low point. What changed everything was not a major breakthrough or a perfect plan. It was a brutally honest self-assessment, a journal, and one idea: every choice either helps you evolve, revolve, or devolve. Once Frank started using ERD to evaluate the four major areas of life - health, finances, career, and relationships - he turned the pattern around and rebuilt from the ground up. You’ll discover how Frank used journaling to “keep receipts” on himself, spot destructive patterns, and make better decisions one moment at a time. He breaks down why people-pleasing can look like success in your career while quietly destroying your life, how to recognize emotional attacks and stop getting pulled into reactions that sabotage you & why the hardest person to lead is yourself Frank also shares how he turned this framework into a book, an app, coaching, and workshops - and how he uses it now to stay disciplined, focused, and in better shape at 56 than he was decades ago. If you’ve been stuck in the same patterns and need a way to regain control, this conversation gives you a clear place to start. Hope you enjoyed it, if so please like, comment, share and subscribe.

    Don't waste your best years abroad: These proven strategies helped me succeed w/ Michael Ehiginwa

    In this episode, Michael Ehiginwa shared proven strategies that helped him succeed as an immigrant abroad (Canada) and these strategies work regardless of which country you migrate to. A lot of immigrants go around in circles unable to successfully settle and thrive in their new country because they are lacking crucial information and skillsets that would help them settle in. Michael shares his experience relocating to Canada 8 years ago with his wife and their adjustment process as a married couple. He narrated how he got his first job and lost it because he didn't understand the work culture in Canada despite having worked professionally for over a decade in Nigeria. We also discussed the challenges couples face when they relocate, challenges of raising kids abroad, getting acclimatized to the different work culture, building confidence and professional credence, etc Based on his own personal journey/experience, Michael has developed a product called "the new immigrant blueprint" which is a one stop shop for anyone living abroad or planning to relocate abroad. This product takes you through a checklist of things to do as a new immigrant, how to seek employment, network and connect with people, pursue political ambition (if you have one), build a personal brand, etc. This episode is for anyone wanting to relocation to the US, Canada, UK, Australia or any European country. It will open your eye to possibilities and better help you prepare. Also for anyone who is already living abroad and stuck, it will inspire and motivate you to keep going and not give up. #japa #abroadliving #immigrantsincanada #diaspora Click on the link to lean more about the new immigrant blueprint or to purchase a copy: https://bit.ly/lifeasweseeitpodcast Please Subscribe and watch our YouTube channel: @LifeAsWeSeeItPodcast

    My investment strategy as a newbie (rookie mistakes and wins)

    In this episode, i spoke about why most African immigrants stay broke and how to fix it. Despite making a lot of money abroad (in America), a lot of immigrants remain broke because of poor money management. I am currently in my 40s and walking towards retirement, i have began to looking into ways to build long term sustainable wealth that will keep yielding even after i retire. I shared my experience with stock investing, mistakes i made & money i lost investing in penny stocks whose companies liquidated and i lost all my money. I soke about buying profitable stocks like AMD in 2018 where the stock price appreciated by over 4000% and i made so much profit! After recently learning about ETFs (exchange traded funds) and dabbling into it, i recommend it because of how diversified they are and more likely to recover in the event of economic downturn. Most immigrants are constantly seeking the next best avenue to earn more money in order to elevate their lifestyle but they also need to learn how to make money work for them by investing in the stock market. Based on my own experience i shared tips on how to start investing, start small (consistently set aside money each pay check) to put towards investment and opening a brokerage account e.g. Robinhood and start investing. I talked about how investing is a long game and is better suited for retirement because the compounding effect takes effect over a long period of time. Investing in dividend stocks or ETFs help you generate passive income at retirement which you can pass on to your children hence building generational wealth. Immigrants need to take advantage of the investment opportunities they have living in America (or abroad) so that they can retire rich and leave inheritances for the next generation. This episode is for anyone who is looking for how to build wealth, invest in the stock market, build a steady stream, of passive income and wants to take their financial destiny into their own hands.

    Why i still live in America after 15 yrs

    In this episode, i reflected on why i am still living in America after 15 years. I migrated to the United States from Nigeria in 2011 for grad school and decided to stay afterwards. My reason for remaining in the US has evolved over the years and taking out time to reflect on those reasons recently has really helped me. Being an immigrant in America today has become increasingly difficult since this current government/administration and sometimes it takes sitting down and reflecting on why you're still living here to give you a fresh perspective. I touched on 5 areas of my life that has been influenced/impacted by living in America these past 15 years. I spoke about how beautiful and how great America is as a country and i am so blessed to live here. I feel like i have been conditioned by the system/culture and fear that i might feel estranged whenever i go back to my home country to visit. I hope this episode resonates with my fellow immigrants or anyone who is curious about how life in America is.Thanks for watching, pls like, comment, share, subscribe. #livinginamerica #lifeabroad #africansabroad #immigrantjourney #japa #relocation Please Subscribe and watch our YouTube channel: @LifeAsWeSeeItPodcast
