    Sn 4 Ep 4 (Part 2): Identity, Career & Coming Home ft Idza Kashero

    Last week we walked through Idza's yes to a calling: the identity, the family, the friendships that held her, the values she stands on, and the leap from Italy to Qatar to Dubai that ended with her saying yes to a calling that was about to cost her everything she'd built.This week, we land. We talk the coming home, the hardest build, the faith that got tested, and the 200 jobs she's created along the way. Because working on purpose doesn't stay a beautiful idea forever eventually it becomes a Wednesday afternoon problem, and Idza takes us straight into what that actually looked like.In this episode, Idza (founder of Sawari) gets real about:✨ Moving back into her parents' house after years of independence abroad — and grieving the autonomy that came with living alone.✨ What it actually felt like to job hunt in Nairobi after the fast, structured systems of Dubai, and why five months of unemployment felt like an eternity.✨ The lowest moment of her business journey, the KRA letter that made her spiral into "my life is over" mode, and what she learned about herself in that season✨ What five-star hotel life taught (and didn't teach) her about building a business from absolute scratch, without SOPs, without a plug-and-play role to step into.✨ Wrestling with surrender, obedience, and what it means to trust God with the business AND the heart, even when prayer feels like a closed ceiling.This conversation is honest, funny, tender, and deeply real, the kind of episode you'll want to send to that one friend who's in her own rebuilding season. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more real conversations on faith, purpose, and building the life you were praying for.

    Sn 4 Ep 3 (Part 1): Identity, Career & Coming Home ft Idza Kashero

    This week's guest is more than a guest — she's family. She had it all mapped out: a set plan, a clear vision of the hotel GM she wanted to become. And then God whispered "come home." Today she runs a business employing around 200 people and is reshaping what service excellence looks like in this region.But this isn't a business interview, we go somewhere quieter. Somewhere closer to the bone. We talk about the woman before the founder.In this episode, we get into: - The hustle she inherited from her dad.- Why she has zero tolerance for one-sided friendships, and the values she won't compromise on.- The line she'd never cross, even if no one would ever find out.- Losing herself in the demands of hospitality.- Boarding that flight home not knowing what came next. - How the pandemic became the unexpected turning point that redirected her entire path.- What she now understands about her parents, her upbringing, and grace that she couldn't have understood while still living inside itIt's an honest, unfiltered conversation about identity, family, faith, friendship, and figuring out who you are outside of what you do.

    Sn 4, Ep 2 (Part 2): Purpose Has a Fingerprint ft Anthony Mwangi Muiyoro

    Today, we move from foundation to expression: the faith his mother poured into him, the community that raised him, his marriage, his approach to fatherhood, and the rhythms that hold him together. This episode goes into the marketplace, into the men's community Tony leads, into the kingdom business he's building, and into the long game — legacy, and who he wants to be twenty years from now. We talk about what it means to bring kingdom culture into spaces that weren't built with that culture in mind. In this episode, we cover: ✅ Integrating faith and the marketplace in practice . ✅ Kingdom influence in secular spaces. ✅ The real story behind the resume. ✅ Resilience, humility, and learning from incredible mentors. ✅ Why passion matters. ✅ What it means to hold influence in rooms that shape policy and why influence is an entrustment, not just a gift ✅ The men's community he leads, why building was never meant to be a solo journey, and how shared wisdom across different industries multiplies growth This is the build, practical, honest, and packed with wisdom for anyone trying to integrate faith, purpose, and marketplace excellence without compromising either.

    Sn 4, Ep 1 (Part 1): Purpose Has a Fingerprint ft Anthony Mwangi Muiyoro

    Welcome back to Season 4 — the era you've been praying for! This season's heartbeat is simple: none of us build from a clean slate. We're building careers while healing, building families while leading, building identity while still figuring it out. So this season, we're not waiting for life to be neat — we're building through it.Today's guest: Tony Mwangi Muiyoro — technologist, business strategist, mentor, and cybersecurity leader. Beyond the titles, he's a husband, father of two, a mentor to many, and a man building kingdom businesses on purpose.In this episode, we cover:✅ Why purpose is like a fingerprint.✅ The difference between kingdom mentorship and ordinary mentorship.✅ Purpose, humility, and consistency — and the lessons that were "caught," not just taught✅ The value of community over isolation.✅ How exposure (not just instruction) shapes real mentorship.✅ Building a sustainable rhythm of prayer, morning walks, and quiet reflection.This conversation is honest, layered, and full of wisdom for anyone building a career, a family, or their faith — all at the same time.#GraceAndGlowUp #Season4 #BuildingThroughIt #KingdomMentorship #PurposeAndIdentity #FaithAndBusiness #LeadershipLessons #GlowUpPodcast
