Sseko Designs: How To Start a Company & Life as Husband & Wife

Want to laugh and be inspired today? Please meet two of my favorite people in the universe.

They’ll teach you about the beauty of miscommunication in dating, the making of a marriage in which one spouse often leaves the country, and why they let their unmarried friends be all up in their bizzzz-nass. Oh, and they’ll teach you about their actual business practices, social passions and facial-manicuring tricks.

      I’ve been seeing those lovely timestamps, but since I couldn’t click on them here, I decided to copy this whole post and share it to google+ so that I CAN click on them 😉 Here’s the link to the post:

      Oh my goodness! I just watched her Plywood presentation and WOW! I guess I grew up in too much of a bubble. I had no idea how much inequality still existed. Also, this interview was awesome. All of your interviews have been awesome. I have learned so much from you and your friends this year. These two are inspirational. Their business model is inspiring.

        This is so encouraging Nathan! I hope you share with people who also may need to hear about some of these truths. As men and women I think we both need to recognize the areas in which we can build each other up and never under estimate the power we have to empower one another. So glad you enjoyed. More interviews coming soon!
