INTENT Podcast 017: Intent Returns

Intent Returns

Dear Listener, it's been a while hasn’t it?

In this episode, I talk about why I stopped uploading new episodes and what I’ve been during the “podcast hiatus.”

I like to try new things and keep things moving, so I’ve been doing a lot of things on the side. As of recording this, my main website, www.TegaDiegbe.com, seems a bit scattered in terms of content since I tend to talk about a lot of the things I’ve been trying out. 

One of the changes coming down the line is more clear messaging from me, so that people know me as ONE Tega as opposed to the Tega of many faces

As someone who doesn’t talk about himself that much, it was a big decision for me to focus on talking about just one specific thing that I do. Today, I’ll talk about why I want to be known as the “systems guy” and what this entails. This is the first of many solo episodes and I’d love for you to be on this new journey with me.

“If I'm not engaged and entertained by doing the podcast, then I lose interest in doing it.” --  Tega Diegbe

Some topics that were discussed include:

  • Why I stopped
  • The idea of starting ugly
  • What to expect
  • Things I’ve been working on
  • Plans for my website
  • Sneak peek on my second website
