“In this 8-minute snapshot, I reflect on the wild ride of our TVET Workspace Africa journey on the ground in Gambia. From tackling real challenges to sharing a bit of banter, it’s all here—and yeah, I’m definitely not Trump, I’m Sabalaba!”

We talked about doing this for months… now we’re actually here in The Gambia making it real.

This episode is an honest, unfiltered update from the start of the journey — building TVET Workspace Africa, meeting people on the ground, and turning ideas into action.

No scripts. No pretending. Just real thoughts from an engineer trying to build something that matters.

This isn’t just a podcast anymore — it’s the beginning of something bigger.

🚀 Building legends, not experts.

In this episode, I catch myself saying something I didn’t plan to say:

“I’m being a legend right now.”

And the more I think about it… the more I realise why.

I share an update on the real progress happening behind the scenes with TVET Workspace Africa, including the appointment of Alieu Jawo as Regional Managing Director across The Gambia, Senegal, and Guinea-Bissau, and how this project is quietly turning into something far bigger than I ever imagined.

Along the way, there’s a fishing story from The Gambia, reflections on how this whole journey started from a simple bakery idea, and a look at how small moments can turn into movements when you just keep going.

This episode isn’t about plans on paper.
It’s about what happens when you’re actually in the middle of building something real.

If you’ve ever wondered how big things really start… this one’s for you.
