Hi. Um, let’s unbox this. This is all the way from Chicago from shippub. And it’s really surreal to be unboxing computers from shippub. So when, when we started techlit, I was an employee at Ship Bob, and it was a startup four years old, but the whole culture of the company was very founder centric, eccentric. Uh, drew was always about, you know, if all of you leave this company and go start your own company, then ship Bob will be a success. I found out really odd, because if your employer is encouraging you to leave the company and go start your own company, I. I just. Because normally when you have an idea and you’re working at a company, you tend to hide it because you don’t want it to look like, you know, you’re not doing your job, that you’re distracted. You may lose your job. But Rue was always about, go, go ahead and start your company. So when I got to ship Bob, I learnt all about Y C. I started listening to a lot of podcasts and video interviews of Y C. I started just understanding how the whole startup culture works. And this whole time, I had a school. I had built a school earlier. Uh, so three years earlier when I was in college, and an idea that kept ringing true in my head was how I can introduce a tech program in my school. And so the combination of thinking, About introducing a tech program in my school, consuming a lot of y C. Content, and the C E O. Of the company telling us over and over again that we should go and start our own companies. Really inspired Techlit Africa. So there’s this day I was just, uh, talking to one of my co workers, and I said, I really want to start a tech program in my school. If I can get a few computers, that would be really great. And then he was like, oh, mmm. I actually have one or two computers at home. I’ll bring it tomorrow. And then he goes on to say, you know what? You should actually message this. You should, um, announce this on Slack and see who else has computers. And so we did that that day. We got about, like, three or four computers. And then. And then, I don’t know, somehow, we asked the I T. Department, too, and they said, you know what? We can find some computers for you. So the first time I flew to Kenya, um, I brought 10 computers with, er. I brought it with my luggage, and they were all shipbox computers. So some of these computers, we use it to date. Actually, our very first computer donation is now in Uganda. So it’s very. A very endearing story. So we keep using it. Um, every new country we go, we make sure we take that old Dell computer with us. And so right now, a few years later, I’m unboxing a Schiphol computer donation all the way here in Kenya. So our logistics has become a lot more sophisticated. And so right now, we don’t. I don’t have to bring it with. We don’t have to bring it with on our luggage. Uh, we just. Oh, look, just. Let’s just appreciate how well this is packed. Of course Shiba would do that. This is really well packed. So right now, all we do is that we ask the computers, uh, the. The donor to ship the computers into. Wow. Just. Just look in here. Like, who packs like this? I’ve never seen this before. Wow. Yeah. Okay. Just look at that. I’m actually not familiar with this material, and it’s a lot better than bubble wrap. I’m pretty sure it’s biodegradable. We are gonna be saving that. Wow. Aww. Aww. Here’s the computer. Let’s see. Aww. So a computer like this, we are likely to use it for another 10 years. We use. Oh, yeah. Property of Shabbat. Yeah. Oh. Their inventory has gotten a lot more sophisticated. When I was there, it was only a four year old setup, and so some of the computers were old. And look at this, you know, moving up in the world right now. It’s a unicorn company. Funny thing is that when I. Ha ha. When I joined a shiphub, I just kept thinking like, oh, startups are very easy. All you Need to do is have an idea, raise v C. Funding, keep hiring more people, make goals, and hit it. And so shiphop was the first startup I was aware of a lot of the time when I was consuming a lot of content, and I kept thinking, startups are really easy. And then during the pandemic, I went on to work on two other startups, and I’m not kidding, the two consecutive startups failed. So I really. I really, really came to appreciate a lot of, um, what I saw in Shabbat, A lot of what they are doing there. And there’s one thing that really ran through that. I remember my time in Shabbob was I used to think, as a C E O. That you need to. Every time you talk, you say something really profound, right? You demand an audience. But then, drew, I remember in 2019, Shabbob had a goal of, uh, 1070, so 70, um, revenue and 10, 10 million profit. And every time I go see Drobo, it’s like, oh, what’s up? Come. Come look at this board. Okay? Do you see how we’re going on our 1070 goal? I still remember this five years later. And what I learnt from Drobo was that as a C E O, you just need to say a few things, and you just have to say it a million times. That if someone doesn’t understand you, it’s your fault, right? If someone, like, it’s. It’s up to you to Be understood. So. So drew just picked one thing and just said it for the whole year that even myself, even though I left shibob, I still remember. And every time I meet a shibob employee, I ask them, you know, were you able to eat the 1070 goal? I’m pretty sure right now they have crazier metrics. Um, and this is just so endearing. I love this biodegradable packing materials. I think we have about 25 to 30 computers here. And all these computers are going to be used for more than 10 years. So they’re going to be used by about. This is a whole school computer lab. a whole school of 400 students are going to be using these computers every single day for 10+ years. They’re going to learn about, you know, self efficacy, learning about all the tech, tech tools, like using the terminal building websites. They’re also going to learn about communication online. And hopefully most of these students can be able to leverage the internet to get jobs and lift their families and their communities out of poverty. So this is such a very, very wonderful unpacking experience. Thank you, shubab. Thank you for all you do, and thank you for showing me all this biodegradable bubble wrap. Bye.
