In this episode, I'm joined by Demola, a co-founder of Lagos in Toronto, owner of A+ Cocktails, and a full-time IT manager juggling multiple businesses. We talk about building community as an immigrant, finding the right business partners, and why chasing excellence matters more than chasing money.

Then we get into two wild dilemmas: a guy who refused to split a $1,000 bottle service bill he barely touched, and a man struggling with trust issues while his girlfriend festivals without him. We dive deep into situationships, the "What are we?" conversation, and why you should never feel ashamed for asking for clarity.

What happens when you walk away from viral fame at your peak? Mariam (Mory Coco) found out the hard way.

She was crushing it with viral skits; brand deals rolling in, engagement through the roof, recognition everywhere. Then she made a decision that tanked her income by 90% overnight. For six brutal months, the phone stopped ringing. Brands ghosted. Views plummeted. But she never looked back.

In this conversation, we dig into:

- Why viral success can become a creative prison

- The 6-month income drought nobody warns you about

- How she survived (and eventually thrived) after the pivot

- Moving to Canada and rebuilding from scratch

- Setting firm boundaries in dating and life

- The importance of hygiene in relationships (yes, really)

PLUS: We solve listener dilemmas including:

- Should you split bills 50/50 when he earns way more?

- How to leave a relationship when someone disrespects your birthday

This isn't a highlight reel. It's the messy, honest truth about choosing fulfillment over fame, and what it actually costs.

Perfect for: Content creators, entrepreneurs, anyone feeling trapped by "success," and people who love real talk about relationships, money, and life.

Moving to Canada in 2026? The immigration landscape has transformed dramatically. With over 190 policy changes in 2024 alone and 3.5 million temporary residents competing for just 395,000 permanent residence spots, understanding your options has never been more critical.

In this episode, I sit down with Olu of Canada, an immigration content creator who arrived in Saskatchewan with only $650 in his pocket and turned that audacious leap into a mission to help thousands navigate the Canadian immigration system.

Olu breaks down the 100+ immigration pathways still available in 2026, including Express Entry category-based draws, underrated provincial nominee programs, and scholarship opportunities most people overlook. Whether you're a student, skilled worker, or planning family sponsorship, this conversation will save you time, money, and potentially life-altering mistakes.

- Why healthcare workers, tradespeople, educators, and French speakers are immigration priorities in 2026

- The 4 key factors that position you for provincial nomination (most applicants miss #3)

- The 3 F's you must align before moving: Faith, Family, and Finance

- Real talk on costs: language tests, credential assessments, application fees, and survival funds
