I gave myself one trip — Abuja, Makurdi, Jos — to check off everything the network needed before the end of the year. A lawyer. A new podcast host. MakFest groundwork. A social media rebrand. An advertising deal. Half of it went sideways.

This episode is the honest recap: the lawyer who never found time for me, the conversation with Cush about where the line sits on a controversial show, a 50/50 partnership pitch with a girl I'd been talking to since 2023, a windowless hotel room, and a conversation with a TikTok creator that turned into one of the most passionate moments I've recorded all year.

If you're building something — anything — across cities, across people, on a deadline, this is what that actually looks like behind the scenes.
