That’s the version of my personal website at the moment. I have made tremendous progress as a Product Architect and a Tech Educator, and I am grateful to God for this. It’s true what they say, little steps compound into something huge.
I decided to fully create a brand for myself. I called it The Product Lab.
Then I broke it down into four segments. The first is the YouTube channel called The Product Lab, the second is the newsletter called The Weekly Architecture Audit, the third is The Product Lab Conversations podcast, and the last one is Cre8fast itself. This is to put everything I do under one umbrella and use it to grow my other ventures, especially PASTE.
And really, if I am being honest, this first quarter of 2026 feels really different. Our MRR increased each month. Although April is looking like it’s shaking a bit, but that’s because we’ve had so many activities keeping us occupied that we couldn’t push for new ones.
One of the most exciting things was the fact that I decided to take a casual but professional photo of myself and remove the animated photos from all my socials and website, replacing them with this new one. I figured it’s time to step into a new stage.
Right now, I have a few months left before I start my digital nomad journey. Even though I haven’t decided exactly when and I haven’t made full plans (truth be told, I’m lowkey making plans), I just want to clear the air on my movements. I plan to start with Benin Republic for 4 to 6 months, then move to Kigali for about 2 years before applying for the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship to move to Europe, but let me not share too much yet. I don’t really enjoy sharing plans until they are in motion. But I’m really excited about this.
Above all, I transferred all my shares from AFRIBREATH LTD to a new company registered in the UK. So basically, I don’t own any shares of AFRIBREATH LTD anymore. I am now the director of the company, and I get paid by the company, while the growth and development of the company still depend on my efforts. I kind of like it this way. Every asset I owned, I sold to the company. The company funds everything.
At first, I thought this was the dumbest thing I ever did, but honestly, it has taught me how to spend wisely. I only sort what my salary can handle.
Another interesting thing is that I dedicated the whole of Friday to content creation. My Instagram now has posts from Muse 🌿, The Product Lab Conversations, The Product Lab YouTube, summaries of the recent Weekly Architecture Audit, and a photo of myself. I’m creating my own footsteps on the internet.
I see this as a huge step and progress, telling myself that I don’t own anything, but I control it all.
My next action now is to start targeting high-ticket clients and to build a passive income stream. There was a project from 2019 that I abandoned, and now with this era of AI, it’s the perfect time to bring it back. I want to start working on it later this year, so I need to ensure that my salary is stable and can cover my bills while I build this.
This is going to make me hypertask a lot more, but I will try to stick to not working on weekends, okay, I lied. I actually enjoy working on weekends now 😂😂😂. But when my body says it’s time to rest, I will rest.
Yeah, next time you’ll be hearing from me, I might be in Cotonou or taking a vacation trip to Ghana.
But see you soon.
