It was a great time to be in Berlin last week, and have the honor to join fellow TOP 20 founders for the Westerwelle Foundation Young Founders Conference! The entire experience was truly enlightening, filled with moments of inspiration and deep insights. From the thought-provoking discussions at the Global South Entrepreneurship Night to the engaging sessions at the Amela Morning Club and Tech Open Air, every event underscored the vibrant spirit of innovation and collaboration that defines the Westerwelle Foundation. Michael Mronz's opening remarks, reflecting on Guido Westerwelle's vision for young entrepreneurs, set the tone for an evening of powerful conversations. The panel discussion on supporting entrepreneurship in Africa was particularly enlightening, highlighting the incredible potential and impact of entrepreneurial ventures on the continent. I'm incredibly grateful for the support and presence of German Minister of Education Bettina Stark-Watzinger and Her Excellency Amb. Stella - Mokaya Orina, the Ambassador of Kenya. Their commitment to fostering entrepreneurship and innovation is truly commendable. A huge shoutout to my fellow top founders! Your passion and drive for change are incredibly motivating.

Music can significantly enhance workouts through various psychological and physiological mechanisms. Here are some of the ways music can improve exercise performance: 1. Increased Motivation and Focus 🤸🏼♂️ - Distraction from Discomfort:Music can serve as a distraction from fatigue and discomfort, making the workout seem less strenuous. - Enhanced Mood:Upbeat and positive music can elevate mood, increasing motivation and making the workout more enjoyable. - Focused Attention:Music can help maintain focus on the activity, reducing the perception of time and effort. 2. Improved Performance 🤸🏼♀️ - Rhythmic Synchronization:Matching movements to the rhythm of music can enhance coordination and efficiency, leading to improved performance in activities such as running or cycling. - Pacing and Tempo Control:Music with a steady beat can help regulate pace and maintain a consistent tempo, which is particularly beneficial in endurance sports. - Enhanced Effort:High-tempo music can encourage a higher level of effort, pushing individuals to perform at their best. 3. Physiological Benefits 🤸🏼♂️ - Increased Heart Rate:Fast-paced music can increase heart rate, enhancing cardiovascular response and improving overall workout intensity. - Boosted Adrenaline:Music can trigger the release of adrenaline, providing an extra burst of energy and enhancing physical performance. - Rhythmic Breathing:Music can help regulate breathing patterns, which is crucial for maintaining stamina and reducing fatigue. 4. Psychological Effects 🤸🏼♀️ - Stress Reduction:Listening to music can reduce stress and anxiety, creating a more relaxed and positive workout environment. - Enhanced Enjoyment:Enjoyable music can make the workout feel less like a chore and more like a fun activity, increasing the likelihood of adherence to a fitness routine. - Flow State Induction:Music can facilitate the achievement of a flow state, where individuals become fully immersed and perform optimally. Practical Tips for Using Music in Workouts - Choose the Right Tempo:For high-intensity workouts, select music with a faster tempo (around 140-160 BPM). For moderate-intensity exercises, music with a tempo of 120-140 BPM is effective. - Personal Preferences Matter:Select music that you enjoy and that resonates with your personal taste to maximize motivational effects. - Create Playlists:Curate playlists tailored to different types of workouts (e.g., warm-up, cardio, strength training, cool-down) to enhance the exercise experience.

Words that Perpetuate Mental Health Stigma in Men June is Men's health month. We want to focus on men's mental health this week. There is the issue of masculinity and masckulinity. Many men are forced to wear a mask yet life happens to all of them. They are in pain but at the same time, they feel that being open about the motions would give them a weak standing in society. 👨🏼⚕️ 👨🏼🌾 👨🏼🔬 👨🏼🔧 👨🏼⚖️ We need to start creating a safe space that allows men to be men. Masculinity should be something to be celebrated and not tolerated. How do we do this? Our words. The words we speak form the world that we inhabit. In Kenya, most men like to tell men to stop behaving as women. The phrase is " Acha Umama". Let us stop insulting men when they are in trouble. Men bleed, men feel, men get ill, men suffer from various mental wellness issues. 🤔 Do you know any man who needs a safe space? Don't force them to wear a mask. Safeguard their masculinity Speak to a Zuri Health Therapist via WhatsApp +254756551551 #MensHealthMonth #ZuriHealth #MentalHealth #ChatwithTherapist #FathersDay #Kenya #MaskulinityVsMasculinity
