the campfyre podcast
Building a business is hard. Building a business as a creative is even harder. That's what I realised when I started my entrepreneurial journey. I desperately needed help and mentorship but couldn't find any. That’s why I started Campfyre — to fill this gap and provide the guidance that I once sought. I interview successful creatives about their journeys to provide valuable insights, lessons, and inspiration. - Join me, Jesse Dan-Yusuf, as we learn from these stories of triumph and resilience to inspire and educate the next generation of Creative Entrepreneurs.

“Is The World Getting Better or Worse?
Was 2020 the worst year in history? Did COVID-19, a global economic crisis involving massive layoffs and unemployment among developed nations, along with racial tensions that led to violent protests across the globe—including here at home—make it seem like we were living through our own Armageddon?
In his 2018 TED Talk, Cognitive Psychologist Steven Pinker outlined 30-year data trends across g...

“The most expensive thing in the world is trust, it can take years to earn and a matter of seconds to lose” — Unknown Trust

Ambition is a good thing and more of us should be ambitious. We should all aim to become the best possible versions of ourselves. Ambition doesn't mean we have to put others down for us to climb the ladder of success.
