Building in Public from Gaborone: Why I'm Launching a YouTube Channel on AI, Tech & Life

Turning a quiet consultancy website into a personal home for Business AI Automation, data engineering, and the real journey behind the screen.

Moving Beyond the Pure Consultancy Storefront

When I first built this website, I treated it like a traditional B2B agency storefront—service menus, assessment pricing, and corporate jargon. That was useful for showcasing my work, but it left out the most important part: who I actually am and what excites me right now.

After graduating with First-Class Honours in Business Intelligence & Data Analytics and stepping into consulting work across Botswana, South Africa, and Zambia, I realized I don't just want to build systems quietly behind NDA walls. I want to teach, experiment in public, and share the playbook.

Inspired by Practical Builders Like Nate Herk

One of the biggest sparks behind this shift was watching creators like Nate Herk break down real Business AI Automation systems on YouTube—showing every node, every prompt, and every practical business use case without turning it into hype.

Combined with my background in enterprise SQL Server, Power Platform, Python, and data modeling, I see a massive opportunity to build and share practical AI workflows tailored for real businesses—especially teams trying to modernize from manual spreadsheets.

Three Pillars of the Channel 1. Business AI Automation (agents, n8n, Make, Power Automate)
2. Data & Tech Engineering (SQL, Power BI, Python, architecture)
3. Personal Life & Systems (habits, Notion workflows, and life in Gaborone)

Why Include Personal Life Alongside Tech?

Tech tutorials are everywhere, but context is rare. Sharing my Notion systems, how I structure my days around consulting and creative work, and what it's like building a tech career from Gaborone keeps the channel grounded and human.
