Interview101: The aim entertainment

Tumihub interview session 

The Aims Entertainment is a talent-driven organization that creates platforms for talented individuals on campuses to portray their talents.

The first event organized by the brand at the University of Osun mostly known as Uniosun was graced by Woli Agba and other celebrities as the judge for the talent show.

One would have thought it was easy to get this particular event done but it wasn't. During the planning stage, Tumihub was at a time part of it and we can tell the story of how uneasy it was.

KennyP (the founder of the brand) messaged us for supports, and at a point, he was so disappointed. The day was getting closer but plans weren’t solid. Sponsors are not forthcoming but he pushed through still. This is what we want youths to learn from, that ......

 It is not always easy but not also impossible! 

That is why we have taken it upon ourselves to interview youths who dares to follow what they believe in despite all odds.

 See the message he (KennyP) sent to Tumihub after the event.  

It was very rough but God surprised me, and lots of testimonies. It was recorded as the best talent show in the university of Osun (Uniosun's) history. Our brand was the first entertainment brand to be registered with the school that made the audience thought it was the school that organized the event. We had up to 500k sponsorship. God just surprised me.

And definitely, I had lots of flaws but God didn't make it obvious to people. And I believe God will do the next in a grand style.

The event was sponsored by Plaqad, Dream9ation, Peakythrills, Aresh, Sdq,Midey concept, Nysc blog, Omary foods, and more.


Tumihub decided to interview him and hear how he was able to go through life to the stage he is now. One wouldn’t have believed that someone in his condition could achieve what he has achieved so far.    

We asked him 10 questions only and his response comes out to be what youths aspiring to take their future serious need to learn.

Question one: can you tell us your full name

My name is Popoola Kehinde Boluwatife but people call me KennyP

Question two: How was growing up like? How did it contribute to your success today?

Growing up was very interesting and fun but at a point, I had low self-esteem because I had to live with burnt feet (I have a cobra-looking burnt leg) which was a result of an incidence when I was 6 months old. It made me feel as if "I'm not a normal kid."   but the moment i saw life differently, it changed me and I stopped making excuses.

What made you see life differently?

I had a surgical operation since childhood, August 2014, but it wasn't successful to my expectation. It was still the same old burnt leg I'm always ashamed of but in the hospital, I saw lots of burnt cases, and mine was the least in my ward. Mine was just two burnt feet while others were whole bodies. Ever since then, I've learned to be appreciative and to always bring the best from every situation.

Question three: How did you come up with the idea or vision for this brand?

Okay…. I was bored and frustrated by being a regular sweet kid that plays guitar to impress girls. I knew there is more I don't know about my potentials as lots of prophets on different occasions have prophesized. I also do find myself in my dreams among leaders in suits.

 So I started reading books which authors are Robert Kiyosaki, Brian Tracy, Napoleon Hills, and many more. I had knowledge and potentials but I wasn't using it. Instead, I was busy talking to friends like a motivational speaker.

A fateful day, Wale, my friend from childhood told me "Kenny you and this your philosophy, and we never see you do anything really important".

These words hurt but made me. I went back to think of what needed to be changed; what unmet needs that needed me. That led to a made-up quote I told myself which says

 "The most beautiful kind of humans aren’t the ones that met it beautiful, but those that made it beautiful"

So I made some undertakings; going to a Man's journey; turning my comfort zone to a battle zone; looking for ways to add values around me and yes I did enter a lot of big troubles but I was just age 20 - nothing to lose so it did worth it.

Question four: Were your parents and friends in support of your passion?

Actually, i lost my Mum 3 years ago. She was my biggest fan as she has seen potentials in me before I did. Dad encouraged me as he prays for my dreams every single day but he is always scared about my education.

 Well, the fear was an influence of my immediate elder brother, Brother Olufe, who is always concerned about me not suffering in my primary assignment, and ever-supportive twin is always like "Kenny abeg no enter debt o". My eldest brother is a big fan of my dreams too.

My Friends Wale, Whyke, Peace, Makins, Gerr, ard, and Mz were all supportive. Although at a point, they had doubts but still very supportive especially my Mentors, Precious, Dream9ation,. Mr. Demola Uniosun, Mc B,obo, and. Ms Doyin. They all showed me the sweetest love I can never forget. They supported me that at a point I was like 'is this a normal love?'.

Question five: What were your fears? How did you deal with them?

I wouldn't say I had fears that big. I accepted and trusted that I am a special being that can always fit in every situation. Most times, i just get to do that area's very risky and be ike

'Alatise lomó atise araré' a Yoruba adage that mean “the doer alone knows the way to go”.

 Till date I don't really know the meaning of those words I just believed it means something like I can solve all the challenges I face. So the  "alatise (doer)”  words really helps whenever I sense I'm going into something that looks bigger than me and yes I'm very prayerful.

Question six: You're a student. How are you coping with academics and your passion?

Most entertainers have bad grades - really bad grades but i wanted to be different. I didn't want it to suffer my education. At some point it was, but when I realized it I began to fight harder to manage my time. And yes it is very tiring.

Question seven: What are your goals?

To continue being Happy and to build a business empire that is a solution to the unmet needs in the world.

Question eight: Where do you see yourself in three to five years?

By God's Grace, in 5 years, I see myself having a great business empire that meets unmet needs in terms of entertainment, food, real estate, and farm production.

Question nine: What mistakes do you think you have made and how did/will you correct them?

I have made lots of mistakes. Mistakes that broke me; mistakes that made some people have wrong perspectives about me but without them I wouldn't be who I am today.

I lacked leadership skills and majorly lacked time management which really affected me but i am working on them daily by reading books on leadership and time management. In terms of leadership, I once had a problem in selecting the right the people with right attitudes to work with and also motivating people I work with to see what I've seen. In terms of time management, I do have problems with doing things at the right time like sometimes ago I was supposed to have a deal with Mtn, Tecno, and some other big brands but I stopped halfway because I couldn't manage my time. So I solved that by always writing my tasks and including times to be accomplished.

Question 10: what is your advice for youths out there.

Let's cultivate a 'Do it' attitude. Yes, you will fail in some areas but those failures aren’t risky as failure to not try at all.

Where is the truth?

Allegory of the cave

Plato claimed that knowledge gained through the senses is no more than opinion and that, in order to have real knowledge, we must gain it through philosophical reasoning.

Plato begins by imagining a cave where people have been imprisoned from childhood. These prisoners are chained so that their legs and necks are fixed, forcing them to gaze at the wall in front of them and not look around at the cave, each other, or themselves. Behind the prisoners is a fire, and between the fire and the prisoners is a raised walkway with a low wall, behind which people walk carrying objects or puppets "of men and other living things".

  The people walk behind the wall so their bodies do not cast shadows for the prisoners to see, but the objects they carry do. The prisoners cannot see any of what is happening behind them, they are only able to see the shadows cast upon the cave wall in front of them. The sounds of the people talking echo off the walls, and the prisoners believe these sounds come from the shadows.

Plato then supposes that one prisoner is freed. This prisoner would look around and see the fire. The light would hurt his eyes and make it difficult for him to see the objects casting the shadows. If he were told that what he is seeing is real instead of the other version of reality he sees on the wall, he would not believe it. In his pain, Plato continues, the freed prisoner would turn away and run back to what he is accustomed to (that is, the shadows of the carried objects). He writes "... it would hurt his eyes, and he would escape by turning away to the things which he was able to look at, and these he would believe to be clearer than what was being shown to him."

Plato continues: "Suppose... that someone should drag him... by force, up the rough ascent, the steep way up, and never stop until he could drag him out into the light of the sun." The prisoner would be angry and in pain, and this would only worsen when the radiant light of the sun overwhelms his eyes and blinds him.

"Slowly, his eyes adjust to the light of the sun. First he can only see shadows. Gradually he can see the reflections of people and things in water and then later see the people and things themselves. Eventually, he is able to look at the stars and moon at night until finally he can look upon the sun itself." Only after he can look straight at the sun "is he able to reason about it" and what it is.

Plato continues, saying that the freed prisoner would think that the world outside the cave was superior to the world he experienced in the cave and attempt to share this with the prisoners remaining in the cave attempting to bring them onto the journey he had just endured; "he would bless himself for the change, and pity [the other prisoners]" and would want to bring his fellow cave dwellers out of the cave and into the sunlight.

The returning prisoner, whose eyes have become accustomed to the sunlight, would be blind when he re-enters the cave, just as he was when he was first exposed to the sun. The prisoners, according to Plato, would infer from the returning man's blindness that the journey out of the cave had harmed him and that they should not undertake a similar journey. Plato concludes that the prisoners, if they were able, would therefore reach out and kill anyone who attempted to drag them out of the cave.

In a nutshell 

The allegory of the cave distinguishes between people who make sensory knowledge for the truth and those that really see the truth. This in fact leads to the unsuitability of the person preaching the "change" In the society. Take for instance, the unwillingness to change whenever there arises a need for improvement of societal norm.

Although, Plato’s Allegory of the Cave is a reminder that not everyone will understand or be happy for you, when you decide to change your habits and outlook on life. Although it’s not enough to leave the cave, it’s much more important that you stay outside of the cave and even when you enter don't cease to "open the understanding" of those still inside. 

These times have even made things worst in that...some those that have "left the cave" seeks to exploit those still held in the cave. Those that had left the cage are the "enlightened ones".

The lesson from Plato’s Allegory of the Cave is to question every assumption you have about that reality you call “real...done, not as a means of controlling others but as a way of making people around you live life of limitless possibilities...which will bring about a change for the better.

Thanks for reading. I hope you learnt something. If you do, kindly drop your comments

What is a business without sales called?

What is a business without sales called?

 🤔

If there is no name, please can you help me create one?

What is the essence of taking so much time to create 'value' without consumption?

It is just cooking so much for a wedding with plenty of meat without anyone to eat.
How important is "sales" to a business?

 I will also like to say that as important as selling is, it is not easy. Also, it is not difficult if you know what it is about.

That is why it is important that you learn the right ways to sell. Seek the knowledge from different places. Even if you don't have a business now, you need this knowledge, and the earlier, the better.

If you think you are a career person that doesn't need to know how to sell, that is a lie. What about selling yourself for that job or position?

If selling is unavoidable and uneasy, why are you not paying the right attention to it?

So many times when a business idea dropped into our minds, we are so happy because to us, we are going to make money. We are ready to set out but when you get there, you go know say no be so ooo😀😀😀😀

If you get experience of what i am talking about, please share let us learn. Share your experience please. Thanks

I always tell people that come to me asking for how to sell fast or getting audience to first of all focus on the quality and consistency of their products/services.
You just started writing and your hope is getting people immediately like, comment and read your content. You are already expecting 200likes. No be so na😀😀😀

Take your time to build your contend and also learn how to sell well. It is very important that you pay close attention to how customers in your niche buys. Ask those in that line. JUST LEARN HOW TO SELL MOTHERF*CKER!!

Don't let me vex oo😀😀😀

Only 10 people respond to your advertisement after you posted it on all your social handles or wherever you posted it and you think all those that respond will pay?

Some sales experts will tell you that only 2 to 5% of anyone that makes enquiry will pay. 😀😀... Even those big businesses you are looking up to can testify to this. That is why the pay more attention to advert.
All i am saying is that you should *GO AND LEARN HOW TO SELL*

Thanks
