On social media, you will hear some public figures say that it makes no sense to go to Universities or Business Schools to learn about Entrepreneurship from lecturers who never built a business.

They are categorically wrong, but I understand how their logic computes.

They only see the first layer of our shared reality, hence the hasty assertion.

It is indeed true that you can learn about business from those who have been successful at business.

However, the current economic framework in which those same businesses play was first designed on paper by Bankers, Economists, Statisticians, Bureaucrats and other stakeholders, at the behest of their various Governments.

It is the job of high level academia to study and progressively document the status and evolution of the respective country’s business environment.

Hence they have access to reports, case studies and historical data.

They also know how to interpret this data for the actual students of entrepreneurship to take action.

The top 1% send their kids to acquire this carefully curated treasure trove of generational wisdom.

They therefore engage the market with more data than the average hustler is working with.

These are not people trying to simply make a living.

Their parents sent them into the world to take over entire supply chains, distribution lines and production processes.

While the average man wants to make 6 figures to post “God did it” on instagram so he can impress Canaanite baddies, the Harvard graduate is entering the system to control the future flow of Capital.

They are not the same.

Don’t believe people who explain reality by their success in dropshipping.

By all means, with as much as is available to you, acquire the tools and education of Capitalism *at the level that the Architects of our civilization created the system*.

This is why I sent you free MBA materials.

Don’t let them just sit in your inbox just because they’re free.

I’m even curating another list of resources to send across to you.

Please allocate time in your schedule to consume them.

Rooting for you.

🔥 *NIGHT SCHOOL RECAP + WHAT'S NEXT*

Last Saturday, we broke down the ECONOMY OF MIND Part 3:

You were born RICH, with 3 spiritual currencies: Energy, Attention & Time, which are your alchemical responsibility to convert to MATTER (Money).

Matter = Money

See? It's encoded in language.

Why do you think abundance in money is synonymous with MATERIAL success?

Do you see it?

MONEY - MATTER - MATERIAL - MATERIALISM

English is interesting sha.

Moving on now…

It's your alchemical responsibility to convert these currencies - your Energy, Attention, and Time - into Money (or Matter).

The world's agenda? Keep you ignorant of their value so you give them away for FREE or cheap.

Is it not common practice for the world's smartest investors to buy up underpriced assets?

Your mind is a coveted one.

And so while everyone lusts after money, their buckets of spiritual currency (by now you know what they are)… are being taken by spiritual highway robbers.

And many of those who are prudent with their spiritual currencies are being contained by life because they do not know how to transmute them into money at the highest possible value.

If we were all gifted equal amounts of time (for example), why is one person's hour valued at $10, and another's valued at $1,000?

This brings us to other concepts such as:

- Levels of implementation
- Leverage
- Location
- Etc.

And you realize why, as George Orwell wrote, "Some animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."

Join me tonight for *ECONOMY OF MIND 4*.

📅 Date: Saturday, 15th November 2025

🕘 Time: 9pm WAT

AI can (and should) put money in your bank account.

But most AI tutorials online? Just cute to know.

You don't walk away with a high-leverage SKILL you can IMMEDIATELY monetize.

I mean… who will pay you to change jacket colors or edit pictures to look like you're in New York?

Cute. But not monetizable.

*So on November 18-19, we’re doing something different.*

A FREE workshop focused ONLY on 3 AI skills people are actively paying for:

✅ *AI Ad Creatives* – Create scroll-stopping ads 10X better than Canva. No design skills needed.

✅ *AI Copywriting* – Sell any product with words that trigger buying intent. Even if you can't write copy.

✅ *Product Creation* – Build a ready-to-sell digital product using my system.

No fluff. No party tricks. Just skills that pay.

You’re the director. AI is your unpaid staff.

Lock in your spot here:

See you there.

In my study of wealth, I’ve been drawn to books written for Nation states and Corporate Institutions so I can apply their lessons to the microcosm of the individual.

You may find them valuable too.

Books like:

- Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith

- ⁠Start‑Up Nation: The Story of Israel’s Economic Miracle by Dan Senor & Saul Singer

- ⁠Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies by Jim Collins

- ⁠Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap… and Others Don’t by Jim Collins

- ⁠From Third World to First: The Singapore Story 1965‑2000 by Lee Kuan Yew

Honorable Mention, books by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum (Ruler of Dubai):

- My Vision: Challenges in the Race for Excellence

- ⁠Flashes of Thought

Study notes and afterthoughts to Economy of Mind 4 will be sent out tomorrow. If you’re not on that list and would like to receive them, please sign up here: https://obidi.co/eom

☝🏼 Students of life must be students of history.

As King Solomon eloquently put it:

—
“What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;

there is nothing new under the sun.

Is there anything of which one can say,

“Look! This is something new”?

It was here already, long ago;
it was here before our time.
—

Humans are all the same across generations.

The actors get replaced, yes.

But the play is the same.

A great book in this regard is “Lessons in History” by Will Durant.

A money equivalent would be “Capital in the Twenty-First Century” by Thomas Pikett

And yeah, this quote I’ve always attributed to Bob Marley, but just now double checked and realized it was actually by Maya Angelou - “If you don’t know where you’ve come from, you don’t know where you’re going”

Movie: The Holdovers (2023)

☝🏼Personally, I don’t like to use AI photos. I’m too shy ☺️

However, I know that there’s currently a huge demand for it.

The problem I see with even the paid courses is that the end result doesn’t RESEMBLE the original subject to an appreciable degree.

There’s something called IDENTITY LOCKING which I will show you tomorrow.

We know that AI is not yet at 100%, but this technique will enable you achieve 90% resemblance.

I will give you for free, what others charge for… except that mine will be better.

You don’t even need to know how to prompt, just trust me and do as I do.

And as usual, just for coming, I’ll let you download all the prompts we will use for the classes.

Seeeeeee!

Please ohhhh… don’t miss this workshop.

The last time I taught an AI class was last year when the tools were still average. Now they’re crazy good.

There’s nobody who will agree to teach for free, what you’re getting tonight.

If you’re unskilled or moderately skilled, you will change your bio by tomorrow because of AI.

If you’re already in business, imagine adding this to your skill stack? What will happen to your income?

And how much would this ad have cost to produce 5 years ago?

Now you can generate it in 30 seconds… if you follow my directions.

Night School goes live at 9pm WAT tonight with the 5th installment in the “Economy of Mind” series.

Let me digress here to drag some people just a little bit.

Those who insist on adding a ‘the’ where it was intentionally left out.

See me feeling like a New York Times bestseller worthy poet/copywriter coming up with “Economy of Mind”.

Someone in Osogbo will read that and insist I made a grammatical error 😩

My people, I’ve always admonished that regardless of your immediate environment, your competition is not Adekunle from down the street.

Your competition is:
•⁠ ⁠an Ivy League graduate of The Humanities in San Francisco
•⁠ ⁠⁠a Y-Combinator alumni in Austin, Texas
•⁠ ⁠⁠a Robotics engineer in Shanghai
•⁠ ⁠⁠a 21-year old intern with Gucci, Milan

Insist on beating your chest with “this is how we do it here in Abakaliki” and your children will be slaves of their children.

Resources are available. But you must be coachable and teachable.

You must have the indomitable will to be both King in Ogbomoso and King in London.

Let people of all tongues, cultures and economic status all agree on your pedigree.

The new economy will create its new classes of haves and have-nots.

It’s not fair but it will happen regardless.

Anyway… rant aside.

We go live in an hour.

☝🏼 Meet Ayo, the latest member of our team.

I just hired him as our official spokesperson.

He is AI, so I don’t pay him anything yet, but I’m still thinking about it because of his vibes and dance steps.

Anyway, just as he said, if you haven’t enrolled, you can join us tomorrow here: https://designthedecade.com/ If you’re facing payment issues, please send a WhatsApp message to Steve on +2349137505306

“To whom much is given, much will be required…”

The majority of humans, however, were not given much… but don’t tell them that.

Still, because they form the mass market… most books are written for them, so that authors can stay commercially successful.

The advice in those bestsellers are good enough _for them_, but will not work for you.

Your own path is different, and in finding it, you cannot afford to be lazy.

Nothing regular will work.

You were always destined to fail… _at small things_.

— J.O.

In 2026, it is MANDATORY that you become and move as a master of your craft.

Not a dabbler. Not a tourist.

A master, I said… transgenerational and multidisciplinary.

The world should feel nothing but wonder at your output.

I recommend that you spend quality time visualizing what that looks like.

Anything less, and the Zeitgeist (with AI as its noble whip) will turn you into a peasant.

It’s crowded and treacherous at the bottom… smelly too.

You’ve done your time. Come up higher now.

Onwards and Upwards.

— J.O.
