   S0615: How I Built Daily Pessa While Working As A Lawyer | Fahad Khalif

   What happens when a lawyer decides to build one of Kenya's most exciting fashion brands?In this episode of Just To Kick It Is A Blessing, Keith Tupac sits down with Fahad Khalif, Creative Director and Founder of Daily Pessa, while also working as an advocate by day.Fahad's story is one of creativity, discipline, identity, and the courage to build something that doesn't fit neatly into one box.He opens up about growing up, the business lessons his father and brother taught him, why he chose to study law, and how his legal background continues to influence the way he thinks about creativity and even the designs he creates.We also go behind the scenes of Daily Pessa; from creating his first designs and finding inspiration for the name, to understanding why the brand has multiple logos, restructuring the business, and eventually moving the brand to the UK and then back home.But building a fashion brand isn't always glamorous.Fahad shares the principle behind his decision not to pay himself from Daily Pessa, how he navigates the bad days in business, what he's learned from building the brand, and why so many people misunderstand what it really takes to succeed in the fashion industry.Perhaps the most interesting part of the conversation is the tension between his two identities:Lawyer or fashion designer?And whether he even needs to choose.This is a conversation about creativity, entrepreneurship, fashion, personal identity, business discipline, failure, and building something of your own.What You'll Learn In This Episode:• The biggest business lessons Fahad learned from his father and brother.• Why he chose to pursue law and why understanding the law matters for everyone.• How his legal background influences his creative work and fashion designs.• How Daily Pessa was created and what inspired the brand's name.• The story behind Fahad's first designs.• Why Daily Pessa has several different logos.• What people misunderstand about the fashion industry.• Why Fahad made the decision not to pay himself from the business.• How he navigates the difficult days of entrepreneurship.• What to do when you're scared of failing.• The biggest lessons he's learned from building a fashion brand.• The challenge of choosing between different identities and careers.• Why creativity is one of the most powerful things we can develop.Episode Chapters:00:00 – Intro01:19 – Journal Question: Boundaries I've Set To Have Time To Relax02:14 – Something Most People Get Wrong About Me03:48 – Childhood04:48 – The Greatest Business Lesson My Father Taught Me06:11 – The Greatest Business Lesson My Brother Taught Me07:33 – Educational Background09:00 – Why I Decided To Pursue Law11:01 – Why Everyone Needs To Understand The Law12:19 – How Law Influences Some Of My Designs15:22 – The Creation Of Daily Pessa20:02 – My First Designs21:31 – The Inspiration Behind The Name Daily Pessa24:14 – Why We Have Several Logos26:32 – Understanding Fashion Behind Design29:06 – Restructuring & Moving The Brand To The UK33:14 – The Principle For Not Paying Myself From Daily Pessa35:30 – Navigating The Bad Days In Business38:30 – Advice To Someone Scared To Fail42:49 – The Greatest Experience Behind Building A Brand43:40 – What Most People Fail To Understand About The Fashion Industry49:09 – Identity Competition: Fashion Designer Vs Lawyer50:29 – The Power Of Creativity56:28 – Parting Shot58:45 – The Drop Of The Shirts1:01:28 – Just To Kick It Is A Blessing#JustToKickItIsABlessing #FahadKhalif #DailyPessa #KenyanFashion #KenyanEntrepreneurs #FashionEntrepreneurship #Creativity #PersonalBranding #Entrepreneurship #KenyanPodcast #AfricanFashion #BusinessInKenya

   S06E14: He Lived On The Streets. Then He Changed 29,000 Lives | Sifa Favor

   What happens when someone who once lived on the streets decides to dedicate his life to helping the very people society often chooses not to see?In this powerful episode of Just To Kick It Is A Blessing, Keith Tupac sits down with Sifa Favor, founder of Faces Of Street Kids Africa, a philanthropist who has spent more than 15 years working to feed, rescue, and transform children living on the streets.Sifa started this journey in 2009. Since then, he has helped feed more than 40,000 people and contributed to transforming the lives of approximately 29,000 street-connected children.But the numbers only tell part of the story.Sifa knows the streets because he lived them.In this deeply personal conversation, he shares how he ended up on the streets, what life was really like there, the time he was beaten nearly to death, and how he once walked more than 70 kilometres from Kitale to Eldoret.He also explains something many people don't understand: why some children return to the streets even after being rescued.The conversation goes much deeper than street children and philanthropy. Sifa reflects on poverty, trauma, education, human dignity, betrayal, purpose, and what it takes to keep serving people when the work becomes difficult.He shares the story of paying someone's secondary school fees while he was still in primary school—a glimpse into the conviction to help others that has followed him throughout his life.And perhaps most importantly, he challenges the way we think about children living on the streets.They are not simply "street kids."They are human beings with stories, dreams, trauma, families, and potential.This is a conversation about what happens when your greatest pain becomes connected to your greatest purpose.What You'll Learn In This Episode:• What life on the streets is really like from someone who experienced it firsthand.• How Sifa ended up living on the streets.• The story of surviving a brutal beating that nearly cost him his life.• Why he once walked over 70 kilometres from Kitale to Eldoret.• Why some children return to the streets after being rescued.• What convinced Sifa to dedicate his life to working with street-connected children.• How Faces Of Street Kids Africa began.• The realities and challenges of running a humanitarian organization.• How betrayal tested him during his journey.• The success stories that continue to make the work worthwhile.• What most people misunderstand about children living on the streets.• What Sifa wishes more people understood about poverty and street-connected children.• Why purpose sometimes comes from the very places that once caused us pain.Episode Chapters00:00 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuqgYyDeMDE) – Intro01:35 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuqgYyDeMDE&t=95s) – Journal Question: Recent Challenge That's Taught You Something Valuable03:22 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuqgYyDeMDE&t=202s) – A PhD Holder Finds Himself On The Street06:40 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuqgYyDeMDE&t=400s) – Faces Of Street Kids Africa08:04 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuqgYyDeMDE&t=484s) – How I Ended Up On The Streets11:07 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuqgYyDeMDE&t=667s) – Life On The Streets14:39 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuqgYyDeMDE&t=879s) – Beaten Close To Death19:30 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuqgYyDeMDE&t=1170s) – Walking From Kitale To Eldoret — Over 70 KMs22:54 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuqgYyDeMDE&t=1374s) – Why Street Children Run Back To The Streets After Being Rescued27:50 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuqgYyDeMDE&t=1670s) – While I Was In Primary, I Paid Someone's School Fees In Secondary34:12 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuqgYyDeMDE&t=2052s) – A Conviction To Stay In The Streets40:36 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuqgYyDeMDE&t=2436s) – A Day In A Street Child's Life42:11 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuqgYyDeMDE&t=2531s) – Starting Faces Of Street Kids Africa48:15 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuqgYyDeMDE&t=2895s) – What Running Such An Organization Has Taught Me55:58 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuqgYyDeMDE&t=3358s) – Life Is A Frequency59:36 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuqgYyDeMDE&t=3576s) – Betrayal: A Tough Time Running The Organization1:01:06 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuqgYyDeMDE&t=3666s) – Success Stories1:04:30 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuqgYyDeMDE&t=3870s) – What People Don't Understand About Street Kids1:07:27 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuqgYyDeMDE&t=4047s) – What I Wish People Knew More1:09:51 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuqgYyDeMDE&t=4191s) – What's Making You Say "Just To Kick It Is A Blessing?"1:10:34 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuqgYyDeMDE&t=4234s) – Parting Shot👍 Like the episode.🔔 Subscribe to Just To Kick It Is A Blessing. #JustToKickItIsABlessing (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/justtokickitisablessing) #TheFaceOfStreetKids (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/thefaceofstreetkids) #StreetKids (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/streetkids) #Inspirational (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/inspirational) #Motivational (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/motivational)
