On this no-holds-barred episode, we discuss Nigerian classism and the innate "main character energy" we all seem to have. Challenging folks to zoom out and think a little bigger beyond their immediate realities. Grab your popcorn, get your keyboards ready, and share your hot takes on the episode as you enjoy.
Does being privileged mean that you must help others, or is it a choice? Is your success truly yours and to be enjoyed by only you and yours, or do you owe it to a lot more folks? This and more on this episode. Watch, listen, share with friends, and let us know what you think via comments or at shakingtablewithaa@gmail.com
On this episode, we delve into "the past". Do our past actions still define us? Am I wrong to judge people based on their past? More importantly, do people really outgrow their mistakes? It's the weekend. Lay back, throw your feet up, and enjoy the episode. You can leave comments/feedback wherever you're listening from or reach out via shakingtableswithaa@gmail.com
Combine the sudden desire to be social-media-relevant, the world's obsession with controversy, sex, toxicity, and money, what you have is the society today. In this episode, we question the lengths people go to stay relevant on the Internet, the value in clout-chasing, building a fan base off toxicity, scripted social-media "beefs", and a lot more.
Join the conversation as we proffer possible solutions to dealing with the condition "Nigeria"— the funny, irrational, and occasionally chaotic nation with an honorable mention of our very own BATman.
This one is for those who find it difficult to pinpoint what their talent is. For those struggling with a career to pursue and it aims not to solve your dilemma but to remind you you're human and there's a way out. Grab your popcorn, headphones and let's relate.
Is there such a thing as "job stability"? Especially with new-age job roles. I mean, are jobs in the corporate world more safe than tech roles? (there I said it). Kick back, relax, and enjoy the episode. IG: @shakingtableswithaa X: @theSTAARpodcast
Something I'm recently trying to unlearn is trying not to attribute any one single opportunity as THE ONE opportunity that will take me out of the trenches. Learning that success like life, is a series of moments and opportunities. More will come, master your craft and stay ready. IG: @shakingtableswithaa X: @theSTAARpodcast
Nothing prepares you for the fallout and break-ups you go through the older you get. Are they avoidable? Are they necessary? What about all you once shared—keep or bin? We share our perspectives on these questions and many others.
Ever heard of the saying "never meet your heroes"? In this episode, we break down the concept of brilliant humans creating amazing art but having a shitty personality. Feel at home with the podcast.
