5 to 9 Diary: ChatGPT, Charles Mbire & the Creator of the Week: It’s Been a Ride
In this deeply personal bonus episode of The 5 to 9 Job, I open up about what’s been on my mind lately—from building my first website (finally!) to the challenges of staying financially grounded without compromising who I am.
I reflect on how much I’ve grown, how I’m using ChatGPT and tools like Sora to build more consistently, and why consistency on social media has become less of a struggle since April began. But this episode isn’t just about wins—it’s about the real stuff too:
The day I realized I work way too much
Feeling like an imposter and learning to own it anyway
What “lonely at the top” actually means
Understanding how networking shifts depending on the game you’re playing
And the dangerous game of messing with people’s livelihoods
I also shout out this week’s Creator of the Week, Solomon Kimera—a TikToker whose captivating, silent-yet-powerful videos are a lesson in scriptwriting and storytelling.
To close the episode, I share a quote by Erma Bombeck that’s been sitting heavy on my heart:
“When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say—I used everything you gave me.”
That’s what this podcast is about. That’s why I’m still here.
Thanks for listening, for growing with me, and for letting this space be what it is.
The 5 to 9 Job
Welcome to The 5 to 9 Job—my journal on growth, failure, and figuring life out.
I started this show because I felt this deep need to help people like me…People trying. Failing and rebuilding. The idea was to use the hours between 5pm to 9am to grow. Slowly, my vision expanded and I wanted to do it all, to build a platform to raise others, reflect and share my interests and soon I hit a wall.
Now It’s back to the basics; fewer better episodes. Each week, I share a few reflections, conversations, and stories from guests so make sure you don’t miss out on any episode.
Welcome to my workshop.
