Thanks Nathan, Much appreciated
Really appreciate this kind of content 🤩. Seeing that you wear so many hats as the founder, Member experience team , PM and PO ...how and when do you update your skills as you are so busy yet you need to have the best skills to work effectively and efficiently
Hey Brenda. Thanks for the comment.
That’s a very important question and I always get conflicted on “do I learn new skills” or “continue to do what I’m good at (which is marketing, branding, user acquisition, talking to the users, increasing revenue for the company so I can pay expenses and salaries etc)
I guess the way I “update my skills” is basically by always doing these things everyday and ensuring that I’m aware of new trends, tools or strategies that makes doing those tasks much better and more effective.
Let’s take user acquisition as an example. Every single second of the day (seriously) I am always thinking, brainstorming of new ways to acquire the highest quality (and qualified) users for the startup and because this is top of mind for me on a daily basis - I am always trying new ideas, new channels, new angles etc to achieve that task. For example, the funnels I use to acquire users today is far way more effective than the methods I was using 1 year ago.
So, In a nutshell - I update my skills in all my roles by doing them daily, staying updated / aware of trends and updates within the space and testing on the job.
Not sure if I answered the question correctly, hopefully it makes sense.
I love the first person view.
Great content!💜💜
Cheers Femmy 🙏🙏

Damilola PLEASE what is the name of the background music played throughout this vlog???🙏🏾🙏🏾
Nice video mate
Can you tell how you record when you are biking and which bike you use, Keep up the great work mate.
Hey amigo! Thanks for the comment.
My bike is an e-bike from a brand called SMRLO.
To record my bike rides, I use “Insta360 X3 Camera”
I’ve been getting questions about this recently, so I might shoot a video showing my gear and how I shoot, so that it’s more helpful
Thanks for watching amigo 🙏
I love the way you capture your journey please are using drone or what type of camera please do you use for this
Thanks for watching and kind words.
No I don’t use a drone for this shots, I use different gears but my main one is “Insta360 X3” and the rest is just positioning to capture different angles
Hey Bro, I honestly love your videos.
Could you tell me which app you use for meditation in the morning?
I don't find anything good..
Thanks bro
and most importantly keep going!
Thanks Amigo! I appreciate the comment and kind words.
The app is called “CALM”
Thanks once again
what was that work out app ?
Amazing video bro, I m really grateful for this kind of video! Somebody know what is the software that he is using for sketch? not canva the other one
Hey Ramiro,
Thanks for the comment and for watching.
The software is called "Figma", it is used by UI/UX designers to create designs.
Cheers Amigo
Hey man, loved the video! I'm designing and developing the plan for my own mvp at the moment. Just curious if you're just outsourcing all the programming and if you have any tips regarding product development as a solo founder?
Hey Amigo! Thanks for the question.
So, the programming is done by my “team”. I put it in quotes because when I was about to hire developers for this startup at the beginning, I knew I would have to give them a full time role in my startup, so that it’s more like a “team” rather than “freelancers doing outsourced work”
That being said - due to the complexity of my space, we sometimes have to hire someone who’s skilled in a particular architecture we are trying to implement on a contract basis. (E.g when we wanted to integrate some AWS services and databases, my main dev wasn’t skilled in them, so I hired someone to join the team for the duration of time needed to implement it and then my dev team takes it from there)
So, my advice would be to hire a full time dev because running a startup is a daily task, you need people or someone who’s on the team and works on it daily because outsourced freelancers will not take the project as serious as they should because they have other clients. (It’s not their fault)
I’ll be creating videos touching on so many topics and questions I’ve been asked in the comments just like yours!
Email me anytime if you need me to look at something or have further questions!
hi, i love your lifestyle! im currently a student but i love imedia and everything online really including graphic design and python coding... anyways i was wondering what headphones do you use as they look super clean!
Hey Amigo! Thanks for the comment and kind words! Good luck with your endeavours!!
The headphone is from a brand called “B&O” , if you google it, you will find it 🙏
great video. Do you have a link to the app you used for healthy meals?
Ohhh yes! Let me find it, I got it months ago via IG. I’ll find and comment again once found
hey, great video! How do you commute when it's raining heavy?
Hey thanks for the comment and question.
Since I go to the gym at around 6:30am, I always have a feel of what the weather is like for the day and if it’s raining or showing signs of rain, I simply work from my home office. 🙏
Can I ask what drone you use for you commute footage?
Hey Mark, I don’t use drone. I use a 360 camera and it’s in the video description 🙏
Hey what you do when your startup don't have momentum ( user not increase, not frequently order etc) or loose momentum
Hey Callow, thanks for the comment.
So, in my personal experience - what I do is that I always have a side hustle that allows me to be able to run my startup and pay employees and expenses even when the startup isn't earning enough to cover those bills.
For example, before the startup started making any money - I was paying for everything from my "side hustle" for a very long time.
Sometimes I also use the current users to raise money (e.g one time we offered lifetime deal to users and this was a way to raise some money to keep the startup afloat for a longer time)
Startups can be hard and it is a constant work trying to break even, get profitable and scale up but if you do your research very well before hand and your product delivers on strong pain points - you will get profitable very soon.
Hope this helps.
New Subscriber here, great content Nejo! All the best with the startup! If you don't mind me asking what were you using for your design mock ups ? Cheers
Hey James! Thanks for watching, the kind words and for joining the family! Much appreciated!
Honestly, for mock-ups I use photoshop and I simply just google “ device PSD mock-up”, so for example, for the phone mockups, I just google “iPhone psd mock-up”
Maybe there are simpler ways but this is what I use. I’ve been doing it like this since I started graphics designer 10 years ago 😂🙏
Hope this helps Amigo
@@lifeofnejo Thanks buddy! Look forward to seeing you in the next one :)
I really liked the video! Mate, I have a doubt, what do you do if rains? Do you work from home, or just put on a raincoat and go to the office? I wish you all the best, tks :)
Hey amigo! Thanks for the comment and for watching!
Funny you asked because someone else asked this yesterday. So, because I go to the gym very early (6:30am), I’m able to see how the weather is like for the day, so if it’s raining or snowing or extremely windy, I just work from my home office.
Perfect example is today, I was coming back home from the gym and noticed rain drizzling, so I knew I would be working from home today and I also checked weather forecast, it showed it would rain all day!
But GUESS WHAT??? It didn’t rain and the drizzle I felt in the morning didn’t last more than few minutes 😂 so I basically worked from home today based on false information.
So, that’s how it goes sometimes 🙏
Really appreciate for great content brother❤…. Which software do you use daily as being no technical CEO & Founder?
Thanks Parth for the comment, much appreciated.
For communication: Slack & Telegram.
For conveying rough ideas to my UI designer: Canva
For design works: Canva
Sometimes when I have to design (or perfect work done) by my UI/UX designers: Figma
Video editing (if I need to create how to videos for the platform): Premier Pro
For every other thing in between: My phone.
There might be more that I can’t remember but those are the ones off the top of my head, I’m writing this reply on a train, so my head isn’t fully clear 😂🙏
Just came across your videos. How do you film yourself biking??
